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 of the less published models of Harrison Marks on this site is Valerie Jones, and the only other shot I’ve published of her is this one. One thing obvious in both shots is Valerie’s ‘Glass Cutter’ Nipples, as in both shots and a few others I have they seem to be very pointed and prominent. One assumes it was the natural state of them, more than anything else. :)

This shot comes from Kevin and when I saw the model I recognised her, but couldn’t put a name to the face and body! On looking back through my lesser known and unknown models I believe this is another shot of Lyn Hamilton, but I may well be wrong?
If you look at the bottom shot in this post of Lyn, although at a different angle, it’s the same background, the hair style is the same, but then that hairstyle in the late 1950’s was very popular! What I can say with certainty, was that it was taken by Harrison Marks in the late 1950’s probably around 1957/58. So, is it Lyn?

Kay Fitzsimmonds sharing a familiar bed with a large stuffed bear! I didn’t notice the bear in the shot until I started editing it, but then who would be looking for it when Kay is centre of attention. A great shot of Kay from Kamera No.27 P25 (1960) posing on a well used bed with familiar striped bedding, so either GHM only had one set of bedding or the bed was only used occasion for shots like this.

A restored colour shot from a Pamar slide of Pamela Green posing nude on a rowing boat on the Isles of Scilly in 1958. This shot along with a few other’s I have were taken by Harrison Marks as part of a shoot for his hardback book ‘Kamera on Location’. There are several different shots of Pam posing with this rowing boat within the book and all black and white, but these are the first I’ve seen in colour. Beautiful views in the background and foreground for all to see :)
Two shots of Pamela Green, Mary Deighan and Madeleine Mado (Maria Hale) from Kamera Backstage (1959). Both shots are very elegantly done, with all 3 models fitting well into the same shot. My favourite is the top shot with Mary and Pam wearing the nipple covers or pasties, whatever they are called, and Madeleine in the background. The bottom shot is all about the use of light and shadows bouncing off the bodies of the 3 girls, and it works very well with the shape of the bodies and the different perspectives. One of my favourite early Kamera Specials. :)
With her typical 1950s wavy blonde hair, June Simpson was a regular feature in the early publications of Harrison Marks, appearing in Kamera No.2, 3, 8, 10, 11, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 34 & 35, plus appearances in some of his other lesser known publications. She also had Solo No.5 devoted to her, as well as appearing on the cover and inside pages of Kamera Special No.1, along with appearances in Kamera Special No.2, No.3 and No.5.
The above image is an early shot of June by Harrison Marks from an original negative taken in the late 1950s, and features the familiar daisy wallpaper backdrop and leopardskin rug.
A very sandy view of Rita (Pamela Green) from Kamera on Location P38 (1958) It looks a bit like a sand bikini, the way the sand has stopped in a perfect line across her boobs, not that I’m complaining :)
Pat Davis from Kamera No.19 P29 (1959) posing in the studio sat on a stool, with the sky background added in during processing. GHM did this on many of his shots, but it predominately seemed to be a sky/beach background, such as in this example of Sylvana Manto.
Well not actually in jail, but photographed on the dungeon set by Harrison Marks and another shot featured in the Kamera Special ‘The Fabulous June Palmer’ (1964). I’ve already published two colour images of June on the dungeon set, from original negatives I own, with at least a further two also appearing the same Kamera Special.

Restored from an original print, Pamela Green by Harrison Marks posing on her knees nude in the front parlour! An early shot of Pam, before being a blonde (redhead stage?), I have several shots from this set of her posing in various locations around GHM’s flat (I assume it’s his place?). A great shot of a nude Pam in front of the dresser :)
