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
I’d forgotten I’d got this very colourful shot of Wendy James! Taken by Harrison Marks, it gives us a cropped topless view of Wendy looking away from the camera and posing in front of the Chinese Dragon on the Chinese Garden/Mandarin set.
I thought I’d start this week the way I ended last week, with an Angela Jones shot! This is a slightly different shot than last week, as it’s by Harrison Marks and is a common shot of Angela that has appeared many times on the internet. The difference with this shot is the quality of the scan and the fact it’s the uncensored version of Angela. We get a view of her smooth shaven bits in this shot, so still worth a view even if you’ve seen it before!

Sandra Cassano posing for Harrison Marks kneeling on a bed that we have seen before, as the headboard is familiar! Not sure about the matching curtains and wallpaper though! This comes from Kevin and is a scan of an original negative, so is uncensored and we see a glimpse of Sandra’s smooth nether region in this shot.

An early shot of Pamela Green from the late 1950’s posing nude in just a pearl choker necklace from a restored silver gelatin photograph and from the same set as this shot.
Another wonderful shot of June Simpson posing for Harrison Marks wearing the daisy earrings from Kamera No.20 P20 (1959). A simply stunning pose with that long blonde hair and daisy earrings, and probably from this set, including one of my own original colour negatives.
Jennifer Garland by Harrison Marks from the colour centre pages of Kamera No.20 P16 (1959). I don’t know if it’s just the colours used, but a lot of the colour shots of Jennifer seem to have her with very pink/red nipples or maybe that was a trait of her skin tone, if she was a true redhead? A great classical shot of Jennifer from an early Kamera.
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.
