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
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. :)
As I’ve said before, not all of my collection are nudes or glamour related. I also have a large collection of ‘normal’ shots of my favourite models posing for standard profile shots or just dressed! June Palmer is no exception, in fact I think I have more shots of June dressed and posing ‘normally’ than any other model.
This is a fine example of a portrait shot of a young June with long hair, Red headband and green off the shoulder jumper.
The elegant June Russell, posing on a leopardskin rug in the studio. Wearing just panties and an open blouse with the collar pulled up. I don’t know why, but she looks so elegant and extremely sexy in this shot without really showing anything. Although, you do get just a hint of bosom!
An original photo taken in the studio by photographer Doug Burn in the 50s.
A stunning shot of June Palmer posing nude and oiled on the rocks! Taken by Arthur Howell in some sunny location on holiday, with June looking like she’s tempted to take a dip in the sea to cool off. I know I need cooling off after seeing this view of June. :)
The gorgeous Angela Duncan from a still from the 1970 Harrison Marks glamour film ‘A Hit for Two Miss’s’.
A Hit for Two Miss’s features Angela and unknown model No.56 as a schoolgirl/teacher scenario. I have around 25 stills from the film featuring both as they strip down and end up in bed as above. This is an early shot as it shows Angela in short black dress in the library as the teacher!
The book she is holding is Dictionnaire de Sexologie (Sexologia-Lexicon) Supplement A-Z published by Jean-Jacques Pauvert in 1965. Rather an apt book considering the type of film it was!
Well that’s my Easter holiday over and the decorating is done! I can safely say I had a similar stepladder to the one in this shot, it just didn’t have such a great view as this. A different shot of the fabulous Dawn Grayson posing on a stepladder, flashing her legs and white underwear.

The third and my final lobby card promoting the GHM film ‘The Naked World of Harrison Marks’. This one features GHM again this time with Annette Johnson as she poses for him playing a Toulouse Lautrec character. Not a very exciting image as Annette is clothed, but this had to pass the censors and would have been up in cinema lobbies, so couldn’t be too risky.
A more serious shot of Nicky Stevens today showing us a more serious profile shot with not a bit of nudity in sight! It’s not always about the nudity, well maybe it is! But you can’t beat a good portrait shot of Nicky either :)
From a set that just keeps giving, the stunning Dawn Grayson in black bra and panties with matching heels and tan suspenders. Sat with her legs up, showing off the heels, she looks relaxed and gorgeous as ever. This is the 6th shot from this set and only a few left to go, which is a shame as I love this set.
