Double Pamela Green in 3D

3D glasses time again! This time two shots of Pamela from Pamela Green in 3D – Intimate Studies of Beauty No.6 by Harrison Marks. These two show off the 3D to good effect as Pamela poses with a shawl and wicker chair in different poses.

Sissi Mississippi – Nature’s Intention Vol.1 No.1 Cover

 

After publishing the cover to Nature’s Intention Vol.1 No.2 featuring Monique Devereux I now have a scanned copy of the cover of No.1. This cover features Sissi Mississippi and is it me or every image I’ve seen her boobs seem to be pointing out at odd angles?
 
Thanks to John W for sending me a scan and is there any magazine he hasn’t got! John also points out that he doesn’t think there were more than two issues, as 25 bob was a lot of money in 1969 and they probably didn’t sell that many copies to go past two.

Nature's Intention by Harrison Marks

Monique Devereux posing in long dark wig on the ‘Mandarin’ set for the cover of Nature’s Intention Vol.1 No.2 (1969). I now have No.1 and No.2 of this superb super sized (10″ x 8″) magazine by Harrison Marks, each containing 64 full pages of uncensored shots of a range of his models. Most shots originally appeared in his other publications such as Kamera and Solo, but those were the retouched versions. These are bigger and bolder and have more bush in them than the Australian outback! More of which will be seen in coming posts.

Two questions though? Does anyone know if there were more than two and does anyone have a high quality image of the cover of No.1? My copy of No.1 was missing the cover, but complete apart from that, so I’d love a high resolution version of it if anyone has one?

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!

More Oiled Up Robyn

Another early Harrison Marks shot from the 1950’s of model Robyn. This time an excellent side profile of her oiled body from an original silver gelatin photograph. Stunning body and a very 1950’s hairstyle if you get past the rest of her body :)

The Kamera Club – One Year Old!

Another milestone for this blog this week, as well as the 1000th post a few weeks ago, I’ve been running this blog for a year! In that time I’ve made 1017 posts with over a million views and had over 900 comments or feedback on what I’ve posted! Not bad for a little blog I set up so I could enjoy images and articles around Harrison Marks, Kamera and other photographers and models from the 1950’s and 60’s! Yes, I may have wandered with the content and subject matter a little, but hey it’s my blog :)

Images of the opening of GHM’s photography exhibition at Gerrard Street,
 including guests Pamela Green and Harry H. Corbett who opened the exhibition.

The last year has gone by in a blur and my passion for Kamera and this blog hasn’t diminished one bit, I’d say I’m more passionate about it and sharing all that fabulous work more than ever.  I’ve come across some great work, both common and some unseen and been able to share it all here.  I’ve made some great contacts that not only interact with me and the site, but have provided great insight and content from their own experiences. This has not only enhanced this site, but spawned ‘Just June’ a separate blog dedicated to the lovely June Palmer. I’ve also been contacted by some of the models that posed for GHM that are still around today, who have enjoyed the blog and that just blew me away as great praise indeed.

Thanks must go to everyone for supporting this site, including John W for all of his support and June content, Simon, Portland, Roop, Oldiznewagain, David, PhilD and the list goes on and on.

Where next? Onwards and upwards as they say! I will continue to post the things I enjoy and find for my own and everyone else’s pleasure. Where will it be in another year, who knows but I hope you stay to find out.

Thanks everyone!

A Preening Pat Davis

Pat Davis from Glamorous Girls No.2 adjusting the hair before a pose, or about to serve breakfast if the tray behind is any indication. Either way this was taken by Harrison Marks on the loft set and she could have served me breakfast like that any day!
