Dawn Grayson – Things Are Looking Up!


One of the most beautiful portrait shots I have of Dawn Grayson. From a set of 35mm black and white negatives of Dawn, all close-ups of her face from different angles. This one with her looking up and away gives a perfect profile line of her face.

I noticed the other day that my personal collection of Dawn negatives passed 1000 and that doesn’t include all the other magazines scans and images from other contributors. Think I’m obsessed :)

Dawn Grayson – Sculpted Beauty (Original)

An unusual black and white shot of Dawn Grayson (Kay Kirkham), in that it’s of her face only. This is a scan of an original 35mm negative from a seller over in the US and hasn’t been cropped in any way, but clearly shows the sculpted beauty of Dawn’s face. With her hair pinned up it’s a beautiful portrait, enhanced by the thick black eye make-up and perfect lines of her lips and brows. Sometimes it’s not always about a nude body such as this shot, but having seen one other shot from this set that I missed out on, I know she was nude from the neck down :)

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!
