I finally have a copy of Kamera Backstage thanks to Yak over on the official Pamela Green site who sent me a copy. I love this 64 page special produced by Harrison Marks in 1959 and this image is a fine example of why I love it so much!
The stunning figures of Pamela Green, Mary Deighan and Madeleine Mado, better known as Maria Hale without the long blonde wig. All tastefully posed and lit in the wings or side stage.
June Simpson – Kamera Special No.1 Cover
A rare cover of Kamera Special No.1 (1957) featuring June Simpson. Many thanks to Simon T for scanning and providing this cover and filling another gap in the Kamera Specials! This was to be the first of several annual Kamera Specials and was 64 pages of unseen HM shots.
The other ‘Specials’ can be seen here, but there are still some gaps to complete the covers.
Who Would Have Thought!
I started this blog in March 2013, so only 7 months ago and can’t quite believe the response it has had since then! It all started with me finding the image below of Pamela Green from Kamera Backstage, sending me on a journey to find out more about her and Harrison Marks and other models of that period.
Now 7 months on I’m hooked and love finding more images, information and anecdotes. What has amazed me is the number of other genuine fans out there and the new and unseen content they have provided.
I very much doubt this site would be as successful without the contribution from all of you in the form of comments, information about the models and the fantastic photo’s you are all sending through. I really do appreciate you sending me this content and allowing me to share it on this blog for others to enjoy as we do. So a big thank you to you all and please carry on making this site as exciting, fun to work on and the success it has become.
It’s a true pleasure!

Kamera Backstage – A Unique Collection!
In 1959 Harrison Marks produced a one-off, 96 page, pocket book titled ‘Kamera Backstage’. It offered a look behind the scenes and included some more casual shots, including 20 pages of colour.
