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

Nancy Roberts kneeling on the steps of a building in the grounds of Sheplegh Court, Devon from a scan of a photographic glass plate. Another from the set of Nancy in the grounds of Sheplegh Court in 1959, when she was a mere 20 years old and taken by Leslie L. Bainbridge, editor of H&E (Health & Efficiency) magazine and then Girl Illustrated.
Suzi Shaw posing in the kitchen from the pages of Kamera No.48 P11 (1962) in which she appeared several times in what appears to be GHM’s flat yet again! The other shots of her I’ve published can be found here. I have also recently won the original negative of the above shot, along with a few others from Kamera No.48 of Suzi, so I’m looking forward to getting those in better quality and will post them when I get them. In the meantime, enjoy the fantastic curves of Suzi above! :)

Louise Worth sat posing on a four poster bed from Kamera No.80 P31 (1967) by Harrison Marks. I thought the four poster bed was a set, but I’m not so sure it wasn’t a bedroom at Ewhurst Manor, as it seems to appear in other shoots?

One of my own colour negatives of Pam Arnold (Tiffany St.Clair) by Harrison Marks. A stunning shot of Pam on the Jungle set, of which most of the shots went on to appear in Kamera No.88 (1968), but this particular shot doesn’t, so not sure where it appeared. It’s an original medium format negative, so not even mass produced as a Pamar slide? Plenty of Pam and Leopard skin to be seen in this shot!

Virginia Green from Solo No.15 P10 (1960) giving us a shot of her rear view! What a fabulous round and peachy arse she has in this shot as she leans forward over the dressing table. We also get a two for one in this shot, as we get to see a front view of Virginia as well :)
Another shot from the collection of original Philip Gotlop prints sent over by Paul from Firebird Records, but this time the model is recognizable, especially if you follow this site. The model so beautifully highlighted by the light and shadows is non-other than Sylvana Manto (Madelaine Bannister). A stunning shot of her by Philip, and I do wonder why his early glamour work has gone mostly unnoticed or avoided rather than his more popular work? Maybe as he became more popular, he didn’t want to be associated with this side of his photography, but we all have to start somewhere!

Another visually stunning shot of the seductive Julie (Shearing) from Solo No.4 (1958) by Harrison Marks. There is something about the make-up and highlights in the hair that give her a Cruella de Vil sort of look :)
I’ve seen this shot and others from the same set of 35mm colour slides a few times before, but they were always very bad quality and didn’t seem to stand the test of time very well. That was until I got sent several of Helena McGuire and another model posing on a very 1960’s sun lounger exposing her body and magnificent bush to the sun, despite the fact it’s in a studio!
Bobby Shaw (Laurie Sands aka Julie Desmond) posing for Harrison Marks kneeling on a sheepskin rug in front of that bizarre background. Every time I see it, I’m reminded of the yellow brick road for some reason! Fabulous shot of Bobby showing off her lush bush, and from the same set as this shot. Thanks as always to Kevin for this shot of Bobby from an original negative. :)

Thanks to Paul from Firebird London I have a growing collection of nude studies by Philip Gotlop. British photographer Philip Gotlop started writing photography manuals in the 1940’s and 50’s. His titles included professional manuals, practical guides and studies on nude photography and the female figure. But it his work later in his career he is probably more well known for, as in the 1960’s his lens was more often pointed at the era’s entertainers, such as The Beatles, Cilla Black, Cliff Richard, Neil Sedaka, Johnny Cash, The Moody Blues, The Kinks, David Essex, Liberace and TV personalities such as David Frost and many others.
This collection is of over 250 prints of Gotlop’s nude studies and vary in size from 8½”x 6½” up to 10″x 8″ or larger. Many of the models are unknown, but all are shot in very classical nude poses, with the odd unconventional shot! I thought i’d share a few here to as they are very classical and see if people enjoy them?
