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
Another original Harrison Marks shot of a model named as Josie Montya, posing naked leaning back on a desk and showing off a very different style down below, almost half-and-half! I say named as Josie as several shots of this model appear in New Kamera No.1 (1969) under the title ‘Just Josie’ where she is referred to as Josie Montya a beautiful French student. But we all know how Harrison Marks liked to give his models made up names! Whatever her name, a different view of another GHM model. :)
A beautifully posed and elegant unknown model taken by Harrison Marks in the studio. A shot that shows Harrison Marks at his best in the 1960s and getting the most from his model and her pose. 1960’s glamour at its best! I have no idea who she is, but I have several shots of her in the studio from this set and have her down as unknown model No.62.
A view of Alicen Warden (Robyn) posing at an old abandoned tin mine by Harrison Marks. Taken in 1966 down in Cornwall, it shows Alicen kneeling, holding a stray bramble at arms length. The last thing she would want is to get caught up on those with her naked body!
Another perfect shot of Wanda Liddell by Harrison Marks from the same set as this shot. Again it seems to be on the dressing room, but this time a rather nice rearview of Wanda and her figure.
A really clear shot of her smiling and posing with a few photos taken by GHM in the background
Cindy Neal by Harrison Marks from a scan of an original uncensored negative. A great shot showing off Cindy’s figure and fading tan lines, along with a very fine growth, stubbly look to her pussy. Obviously growing it back after a summer of sun. :)
A perfectly presented shot of Jennifer Garland and her big bosom by Harrison Marks. Looking through other shots of her, it seems that she used position and angle towards the camera to show off her tits in the best light, not that she needed to do so! And there’s that well-used sheepskin rug again 🙂
Another shot of Merle Henry by Harrison Marks posing in his living room. A beautiful pose from her as she looks off to one side, but giving us a full view of her body as a ceramic cat looks on!
Also, another classic time piece on the wall in the background showing it was 12:35, but was it just past midday or midnight ;)
Louise Worth sat posing on a four-poster bed from Kamera No.80 cover (1967) by Harrison Marks. The four-poster bed was actually in a bedroom at Ewhurst Manor. It seems to appear in other shoots, including a set featuring Margaret Nolan and others. :)
The platinum blonde Annette Johnson posing by the fireplace. Taken by Harrison Marks on the Cinderella set, this is actually a pretty good shot of Annette showing off her slender figure. I much prefer her during this stage of her career with long blonde hair. :)
Over the last few months, as well as continuing to edit my vast archive, I’ve also been playing around with colouring some of my original images. In the past I’ve avoided this as I’ve seen various attempts to do this with varying degrees of success. Most are either too skin toned in colour or end up having a painted effect and losing the details.
So after many years of using various tools to edit photo’s I gave it a go! The aim being to create a coloured version that looks as though it was originally taken in colour without losing the details. The above shot of Tina Graham is one of my better attempts, as for every successful coloured version (In my view!) I had about 8 failed versions. Some photos lend themselves to colour, whereas others have too much going on to get the colouring looking right.
I know some of you out there hate the idea of originals being coloured, and I totally get that. This is more of an experiment to see how close I can get to an authentic colour version. I have a small gallery of different models I’ve tried, and I sneaked a few onto the site in the last few weeks (guess which ones?)
So, what do you think? Success or fail, good or bad, and want more?
