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
A beautiful shot of Vicky by Harrison Marks staring out of a big ornate window at Walden Manor from the 1960s. A fabulous backdrop and ornate lampshade to enhance the shot, not that it needed it, plus great lighting. Vicky’s figure looks fabulously highlighted in this pose, including her full bush and small, perfectly shaped tits.
A boudoir shot of Monique Deveraux by Harrison Marks. I like this shot of Monique, especially the patterned black panties and stockings she is wearing, plus the bling on the heels. Sometimes having something on adds to a shot rather than being naked, and this is one such shot in my opinion.
As we into the month, I thought I’d post the April page of the 1965 Kamera Calendar. Featuring a very good shot of Annette Johnson posing crossed legged on the floor of GHM’s flat. Not sure what’s going on in this shot, but she’s looking very longingly at that fruit bowl and pineapple. :)
What a rearview! Angela Jones bending forward slightly as she looks over her shoulder for Harrison Marks. Taken at his flat, but I’m not sure what she is leaning against, but looks to be a kitchen counter or bar of some sort. A great view of Angela and her figure, including one nicely shaped puffy tit! :)
The highlighted curves of Sophia Dawn in the studio by Harrison Marks. Fabulous use of light and shadows to highlight the naked curves of Sophia. I just love the curve of the waist and hips, along with how the shadow is just hiding her lower bits.
Anna Verdi, leaning back on a sofa arm as she poses for Harrison Marks. Another versatile 1960s UK model that worked with all the key photographers of the time. Great slender figure and natural look. :)
Maria Clarence beautiful and bare from an original negative scan, with the published retouched version of this shot appearing in Kamera No.46 P15 (1962).
Her first appearance was in Kamera No.45 (1962) and further photos were published in issues No.46, 47, 48, 50, 55, 56, 60, 61, 66 & No.75. She also appeared in Kamera Special No.3 and six pages in the hardback book ‘She Walks in Beauty’. Maria was chosen for the 1962 Cornwall location shoot, and a total of nearly eighty photographs of Maria were published, including duos taken with Margaret Nolan and Jane Mathews. There are two known sets of 35 mm Colour Slides of Maria, No’s 24 and No.32 with Margaret Nolan from the Cornwall shoot.
Everyone sees an image differently, and scanning and editing original negatives is no different. What I think works with contrast, colours and sharpness may not be to everyone’s taste, but that’s why we’re all different! This image is a good example, as it came from an original scan of a negative using a wet scan, which uses fluid on a flat scanner to remove scratches and imperfections from the image (go look it up!). I then took it and enhanced the colours, focus, and crop to give the results above, not a bad effort I would say!
The image itself, it’s taken by Harrison Marks and the mode is known as Georgina or Georgina Michele.
Gill Evans having a quick dip in a rock pool down at the beach in 1966. Taken by Harrison Marks in the summer of 1966 at Bedruthan in Cornwall. Gill was a model from the second week of the trip and seemed to enjoy being in the water, as she is photographed in the sea, rock pools and a river in various shots throughout Kamera on Location 66.
Incidentally, I’m heading down to Cornwall next week, so may just have a visit ot Bedruthan, although the steps down are closed now limiting access.
Monique Devereux by Harrison Marks laying back on silk sheets showing off her magnificent body and hairy mound! A different shot of Monique as she’s wearing a wig, and it may well be from one of her glamour films by GHM, but unknown to me?
