Susan Rivers By Harrison Marks (1956)

An early shot of Susan Rivers by Harrison Marks from the 1956 Carnival Annual. The same image along with another of Susan (below) also appear in the October edition of Fiesta from the same year. It seems that this image as well as the one below incorrectly name the model as Eva Wilde Pamela Green, which it most definitely isn’t! Although some shots of Pamela at the time have her with a similar short red hairstyle, they are different models and one of Pamela with this hairstyle also appears in the same Carnival Annual.

Audrey Crane

Another early model for Harrison Marks this time Audrey Crane from Kamera No.37 (1961) and credited as ‘Currently appearing at the Casino de Paris, London’. She also appeared in Kamera No.38 and In Focus No.3 & No.15 and details of her time and appearances at the Casino de Paris, London and it’s history can be found … Here

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!

June Simpson – Kamera Special No.1

I’ve already published a copy of this cover on the ‘Specials and Calendar’s’ page, but this is a scan from my own copy which was my latest purchase via eBay and arrived last week. Published by Harrison Marks in December 1957 the cover features June Simpson, one of the favourite 50’s models.

The above image has been restored to remove several creases and the edge was well worn, but the overall condition of this magazine of over 57 years is very good. Like all Kamera editions it’s a small digest size magazine featuring 98 pages of your favourite early Harrison Marks models.  These include Pamela Green, June Simpson, Marie Deveraux, Julie, June Russell, Diane Hedges, Maxine, Eva Wild and Lydia Barton to name a few.

An excellent addition to my growing Kamera collection, which now stands at 9 standard Kamera Editions, Kamera Special No.1, Kamera Backstage and the 1960 Kamera Calendar.  Plenty more to collect and keep me going :)

Lenz No.3 Cover

Lenz No.3 Cover by Harrison Marks and one of the more obscure publications from Harrison Marks and his Kamera Publications Ltd. Although the cover is by GHM the contents of the Lenz magazines tended to showcase other photographers of the time. No.3 featured the work of Ken Williams, but a lot of the models he used are very familiar and worked with Harrison Marks as well. Models in No.3 include Margaret Nolan, Sue Owen, Tina Graham, Annette Johnson and Maxine Miller and all looking fairly young!

Can anyone identify the model balancing on the Roller, as I don’t recognise her immediately? The location could well be the driveway at Ewhurst, but not much to go on.

Update: Thanks to MadMax the model has been identified as Britt Hampshire and two further shots from this shoot appear in Kamera No.58 – Thanks Max

Update 2: After further discussion it seems to be Paula King and Not Britt Hampshire and thanks to PhilD and Portland for further evidence.  Three further images below to support the Paula King theory :)



Any more theories to throw into the pot and thanks for all the feedback!

Hazel Taylor & The Glorious Gong!

Hazel Taylor posing on the Mandarin/Chinese Garden set from the pages of Nature’s Intention Vol.1 No.1 (1969) by harrison Marks. The girls in this publication sure were natural and sported wonderfully full bushes for all to see with not a bit of retouching in sight thank goodness!

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!

Eve Eden – The Painted Lady!

Before anyone comments I’ve not touched this image other than to scan it and remove some creases!  If the eyes etc. look painted or drawn on, that is how they appear in the magazine, but they do appear to have been enhanced.

Anyway no denying it’s Eve Eden posing for Photographic Rhythm Magazine No.1
