Tantalizing Tina (1964)

Tina Graham (Christine Carter) in the reflection of a mirror looking very serious! Taken by Ed Alexander and published as part of his book – Ed Alexander Photographs English Beauties. He seems to have had a flair for this type of shot as there are other reflection/mirror shots in the same book, all equally as enthralling.

Dawn Grayson – Lady In The Lake

Beautiful shot of Dawn Grayson in long negligee posing knee deep in a lake from ‘Ed Alexander Photographs English Beauties’ (1964). I’m not sure I’d be that happy posing in the water like that, but all for one’s art!

Ann Walker – 1960's Beach Bunny

A glamorous pose from Ann Walker topless on the beach from the pages of ‘Ed Alexander Photographs English Beauties’ (1964). Looks a bit sunny and warm to be an English beach, but I could be wrong and Ann is just putting on a brave face.

More Paula King!

Following the continued discussion over the weekend on who appears on the cover of Lenz No.3, more evidence to support the fact that it appears to be Paula King. This shot comes from page 5 of ‘Ed Alexander Photographs English Beauties’ and is one of four shots throughout the magazine of Paula.

I think we can conclusively say at this point that it is indeed Paula on the cover and it is GHM’s Roller!

Thanks to all for the discussion and another GHM model identified 🙂

Dawn Grayson – The Magic in a Face

I originally published a version of this image under the title ‘Shattered Glass’ in June 2013 when I came across the image of Dawn and it was instantly a favourite. Well now I’ve found where it came from and have an original copy, as above. It was originally published in ‘Ed Alexander Photographs English Beauties’ on page 84, where he describes expressions of the face can change the mood of a photograph.

Incidentally I prefer this version to the first I found, as it looks better in black and white and Dawn looks good with a beauty spot!

Wendy Luton – Not Your Average Household Pose!

Wendy Luton looking very inviting laying there on the rug in front of the fire. Taken from the pages of ‘Ed Alexander Photographs English Beauties’. This was used as an example of how a shot of a nude beauty can be enhanced by placing her in a normal household setting rather than a studio. To be honest with that figure you could put Wendy Luton in any location and she’d still catch my attention!

Bath Time With Ann Walker

Ann Walker with an unusually big bouffant hairstyle from her, as we’re more used to seeing her with it short or tied back. This shot is of her naked in the bath, but not sure it’s warm enough looking at the nipples on her!

Dawn Grayson – Kitchen Capers!

Dawn Grayson nude in the kitchen and posing for Ed Alexander for his book of English Beauties (1964). As Ed himself says, when photographing the nude indoors, a change from plain studio backgrounds can sometimes be made by using the average home as a setting, as long as the setting doesn’t detract away from the model.  Trust me, my eyes are firmly focussed on the model here!
