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
One from my huge collection of Dawn Grayson and a beautiful portrait shot with not a hint of nakedness in sight! Sometimes just a shot of a pretty face works and this is perfect from the 1960’s make-up and hairstyle, down to those perfect pink lips! Simply stunning :)
Another restored colour negative of June posing on a bar we’ve seen before, wearing black underwear. Beautiful pose, and what a view to come across in your local when going for a pint!
The stunning looks of Dawn Grayson. The fourth shot from the set of her posing wearing a pale blue bra, white fishnet panties, tan stockings and heels. I’ve posted three shots so far that you can see here and Dawn looks stunning in them all.
The look on Dawn’s face as she lies on the rug is fabulous. She seems to get the right facial look for a shot as easily as she gets the right pose.
I’ve posted this beautiful 10 by 8 print of Lesley Draper before, but this is a coloured version by me. I love the original, but adding a splash of colour also works and gives it another dimension. One of my better coloured versions, I think!
The stunning Sophia Dawn sat outside the cottage at Ewhurst on the bonnet of a Mini Cooper. So much to like about this shot the car, the location, or even the model, even though she’s dressed! Saying that, I love the dress and frilly petticoat and Sophia’s beehive hairstyle.
I believe the Mini was owned by the Cliffords, that rented out Ewhurst Manor to the various photographers of the time. The mini is in superb condition and the tax disc on it is dated April 1964. The only thing that could possibly make this shot better is if Sophia was naked! ;)
What’s not to like about this late 1950s colour glamour slide? Such a classical pose in fishnet stockings, pink corset and of course heels and a hat! The latest fashion and what every respectable woman needs to wear for her husband in the bedroom. :)
A second move revealing still of Dawn Grayson by Harrison Marks from the set of the 1969 feature film ‘The Nine Ages of Nakedness’. Her Ladyship (Dawn Grayson) strips for a renowned painter Sir Rupert, Harrison De Chandelier and poses nude as he proceeds to paint her. A perfect opportunity to see Dawn nude and on film. :)
I love it when I uncover more about a model that I post on the site, especially one that posed for Harrison Marks. The above shot is of the model only ever referred to as Michelle by GHM in Kamera No.87 (1968). I have managed to acquire several negatives of Michelle over time, from the one above, to a couple of colour negatives where she shows off a lot more!
Well now, thanks to Tim, who has provided the two shots below, I have a full name for Michelle. She is Michelle Karli/Karlli, and she had small parts in Department S and Doctor in the House in 1969. It’s definitely the same Michelle, as in the full shots I have of her, she has the same two beauty spots on her face. So, another model that posed nude for Harrison Marks then went on to become an actress and do small parts on TV. Or maybe she was always an actress and just did the nude modelling on the side?
Another shot from my portrait collection of glamour models. This time a beautiful shot of Jayne Tracey looking straight at the camera in an off the shoulder dress. Jayne looks stunning with her perfect make-up and hairstyle, all very 1960s :)
An original scan of a medium format negative of Thelma by Doug Burn from the 1950s. Thelma was another lesser known Harrison Marks model that appeared for him in Kamera No.4, 5, 9 and No.11 (Cover) in 1957/58, then seems to have disappeared? It now looks like she did some other modelling in the 50s for other photographers as well.
This was sent over by Tim, a contact who has a collection of 1950s negatives by Doug Burn including Thelma, Lorraine Burnett, June Russell and other models and actresses from that period. Interestingly, the index card for Thelma also has the name Bahia Ali, so another different name. Tim is also selling his negatives over on eBay, so go take a look here. :)
