Dedicated to the published work of Harrison Marks & other prominent photographers of the 1950's, 60's and early 70's. Along with popular glamour models such as June Palmer, Pamela Green, Dawn Grayson and others
Back from a break and catching up with a few different posts! These images come from Cover Girl No.34, with the front and back cover, and two centre spreads across 3 pages. Not as subtle as earlier editions of Cover Girl, and this was also the last edition to be published. Interesting views of this model and at least the ‘collar and cuffs’ match!
The beautifully highlighted naked figure of an unknown model by Harrison Marks. Published in Kamera Special No.2 in 1958 and appeared on page 58. A perfect composition of curves, light and shadow,
Pamela Green as Rita Landre posing in open blouse and short leather skirt and a bejewelled cross necklace from Kamera Special No.2 P51 (1958).
A visually stunning shot of the seductive Julie (Shearing) that was published in Solo No.4 P13 (1958) by Harrison Marks. This is from the original negative, and shows a beautiful rearview of Julie looking over her shoulder wearing just fishnet stockings and of course her trademark big dangly earrings. What makes this shot so stunning is the view of that perfectly peachy arse and the way her hips glide into her hourglass waist.
Some technical information for the photographers of us out there. This was taken on a Rollei Tessar 3.5 on Weston Film 200 with an exposure of a 10th at f14. Lighting was via a 2000 watts Tungsten light according to the information on the page right under Julies bum :)
Two shots of Julie Shearing by Harrison Marks posing with just some netting. These images were published in Solo No.4 in 1958, which was dedicated to images of Julie. These images appear on the inside cover and page 18 respectively.
Another front and rear cover from my Exciting magazine collection, this time No.17 from 1967. Not a front and rear shot of the model this time, but still a stunner in sheer yellow blouse and stay ups.
Five centre spreads from the pages of the 1960s magazine ‘Exciting’. These were larger images of the models across three pages that folded out for you to spread and enjoy, edited to remove the folds. Some stunning views of the models with a few common themes. These 5 are from Exciting No.12, 13, 15, 21 and 26, so more centre spreads to come!
June Russell and that very colourful towel on her head posing on the cover of Kamera No.16 (1959). The image has obviously been flipped on it’s side to fit the cover, but still a fabulous shot of a nude June Russell. The towel she’s lying on also looks familiar and was used in several shots with Pamela Green from Kamera on Location.
A fantastic double page spread (pun intended) from Cover Girl No.3. Creating this bi-coloured effect on photos today is fairly easy with all the software available. I do wonder how that process happened back in the 60s. Regardless, it was a fabulous shot of a French beauty by Serge Jacques.
Vivienne Warren, the second wife of Harrison Marks posing for him in the studio and one of the two colour centre pages of Kamera No.51 (1963). She also appears on the cover of the same issue.
