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
The platinum blonde Annette Johnson posing by the fireplace. Taken by Harrison Marks on the Cinderella set, this is actually a pretty good shot of Annette showing off her slender figure. I much prefer her during this stage of her career with long blonde hair. :)
Over the last few months, as well as continuing to edit my vast archive, I’ve also been playing around with colouring some of my original images. In the past I’ve avoided this as I’ve seen various attempts to do this with varying degrees of success. Most are either too skin toned in colour or end up having a painted effect and losing the details.
So after many years of using various tools to edit photo’s I gave it a go! The aim being to create a coloured version that looks as though it was originally taken in colour without losing the details. The above shot of Tina Graham is one of my better attempts, as for every successful coloured version (In my view!) I had about 8 failed versions. Some photos lend themselves to colour, whereas others have too much going on to get the colouring looking right.
I know some of you out there hate the idea of originals being coloured, and I totally get that. This is more of an experiment to see how close I can get to an authentic colour version. I have a small gallery of different models I’ve tried, and I sneaked a few onto the site in the last few weeks (guess which ones?)
So, what do you think? Success or fail, good or bad, and want more?
Rita Landre (Pamela Green) posing on the Parisian Alley Set by Harrison Marks. I’ve published several shots of Pam as Rita in this location here, but think it is a great shot of her in the pink corset and fishnets.
This shot is even better as it’s in colour, so you get to see Rita/Pam in vivid colour.
Another classy model in the shape of Virginia Green but the same bed as this shot of Caron Gardiner. That bed obviously saw some use and action, you may even go as far as saying a hotbed of action, :) It even has the same bedspread on it!
Regardless of the bed, Virginia looks as gorgeous and as elegant as ever in just heels and earrings on that bed. Seeing this shot and the other shot makes me believe these may well have been taken by Russell Gay.
The unforgettable Madeleine Mado (Maria Hale), Mary Deighan and Pamela Green posing in the dressing room from a 35 mm Pamar colour slide sent over by Kevin. Although this image of the three girls was taken at the same time as the other images that appeared in Kamera backstage, this specific shot doesn’t actually appear in the publication, so maybe only ended up as a slide?
I love the fact it looks like just a snapshot of them all as they undress, but I’m sure it was posed, which shows how natural all three were at posing. Pam looks great stepping out of that petticoat, revealing her black underwear. :)
A beautiful pose from an unknown Indian beauty taken by Harrison Marks in the late 1960s. Fabulous figure and thick dark bush on view. :)
Love this shot of Jenny Lane laying atop a desk in the office in her stockings and suspenders, what a nice distraction from work. I also love the world map on the wall in the background, as it looks like one of those free giveaways or offers from the Daily Express back then.
Another original medium format negative scan of Georgette Gautier (Terry Maloney) by Harrison Marks. Posing on the loft set, images from this set went on to appear in Kamera No.29 (1960). Georgette had fabulous curves and a rather gorgeous set of large tits. A fabulous shot of Georgette and you can just see a hint of her smooth pussy below 🙂
As a reminder, the prints in the background of this shot are Divan Japonais and “Jane Avril” at the Jardin De Paris, 1893 by Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec.
A stunning shot of June Palmer from the 1960s with a very oriental feel to it. A perfect view of June and her curves in an open silk jacket, with her hair up and simple make-up, stood with her hands on her hips. Perfection!
The exquisite Virginia Green by Harrison Marks from a full medium format negative. Posing in the studio, we see a fine example of early glamour photography at its best. We also get to enjoy the ample curves of Virginia as well. :)
