Pamela & Marie – Opposite Views (1958)


Pamela Green and Marie Deveraux posing amongst the dunes in 1958 from Kamera on Location P61. What is quite interesting is that the two of them appear to have opposite coloured wigs on from their normal hair! Marie with a blonde wig when she was dark at this time, and Pam with a dark wig when she was blonde, plus the addition of the mandatory scarf!

All Aboard with Pamela Green! (Original)

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 :)

Pamela Green – Drift Wood Pose (1958)

You can’t beat some good wood as a prop in a glamour pose and this shot is no different! Pamela Green posing beside some drift wood on a beach in the Isles of Scilly from Kamera on Location (1958). Pam looks stunning in these shots of her wearing the long darks wig and there something about them makes them stand out from other times she was posed in a dark wig. I think it may well be the use of the make-up with the fuller lips and dark eyelashes that make them differ. To most it may well not be obvious that it’s Pamela Green without the familiar long blonde locks!

Marie Deveraux – Through The Valleys of Sand! (1958)

A view from above of Marie Deveraux laying back covered in sand from Kamera on Location (1958). Taken on location in the Isles of Scilly by Harrison Marks this is a great shot of Marie, but I can’t work out if it’s been retouched. I think she was clean shaven below, but the angle of this shot looks off, but there is sand in places down there! 

Marie Deveraux – A Sandy Outlook (1958)


A very beachy view of Marie Deveraux from Kamera on Location (1958). Sitting topless in the sand dunes wearing a sarong, blond wig and scarf. The scarf was obviously an accessory for the shoot as they all wore them and I know they were popular back then, but why wear both the wig and scarf? Anyway, who cares about the scarf with that view. :)

Kamera on Location (1958)

In July I eventually managed to get hold of a copy of the 1958 hardback publication of ‘Kamera on Location’ by Harrison Marks. I’ve been after this book for sometime, but whenever it appeared on eBay it always went beyond my financial limit, due to it’s rarity.  Anyway one came up in July on eBay and I found it by accident as it wasn’t published under Harrison Marks, but vintage books. The condition was down as very good, but missing the dust cover and a price of £30, so I decided to go for that price and see what happened, well after 7 days of waiting to be outbid I won it for the asking price and a day later it turned up.

For those purists out there the lack of dust cover may have stopped most people, but for me I was after the book and content itself.

As you can see upon inspection the condition of the book itself is spot on, with the internal pages being clean, crisp and clear. The images of Pamela Green, Marie Deveraux & Lorraine Burnett within are exquisite, as you have seen from the scans here. So from my point of view worth every penny and another of Harrison Marks books to my growing collection. I now have Pamela & Kamera on Location, but still missing an actual copy of Vera & She Walks in Beauty, although I do have full scans of both books :)

As an added bonus, included in the book by the seller was the article below from an unknown magazine all about Harrison Marks and Kamera on Location, plus the inside parts of the dust cover.

I love this book and hope you do as I post more pages of it in the coming months … Enjoy!

Pamela Green – The Golden Hour!

Did Pamela Green ever take a bad photo? Looking at those I’ve published and seen so far I don’t think so, in fact the camera loved her and whatever pose she tried seemed to work. 

The above image is a good example of her at her best posing for Harrison Marks on the Scilly Isles for Kamera on Location (1958). Taken with one of GHM’s Rolleiflex (F.16/125) with a medium green filter in the golden hour (The hour before sunset) it captures Pam’s glistening body in the setting sun to perfection.  The shape she had her body, the curve of the hip toward the camera and not even looking at the camera all set this shot up and seems so effortless. Truly the golden age of glamour photography I believe!
