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?

Lorraine’s Hippy Look! (Original)

For some reason I really like this shot of Lorraine Burnett! I don’t know if it’s the hair (wig?) or the way she is posing her body, but I like it. I don’t think it’s the hair, so it must be the curves and pose and probably the fact you can’t see her face fully :)

A shot of Nancy Roberts by Russell Gay posing against a fake wall in just a pair of fancy knickers. I wonder if undoing that bow gives access to all areas?

I have loads of images of Pamela, but until recently her name had escaped me, but then I came across her name in the ‘1950’s Glamour Book’ and now I have another name to put to a body and face. She was a popular model for Russell Gay and appeared in several of his publications including Amber and QT. This is a typical RG shot of her kneeling on a coloured chequered background. Fabulous figure as well :)

Virginia Green: Smoking Curves

Simply stunning hips and those curves of her body as she kneels there look fabulous. I’m not sure about having a lit cigarette so close to that plastic as she kneels there, but I’ll forgive her on the health and safety issue at work on this occasion. Who wouldn’t with her looking like that!

A Riverside Robin

The beautiful Robin (Alicen Warden) posing at the river edge from an original colour negative taken by Harrison Marks. I have quite a collection of negatives now of Robin, with nearly all of them taken on location down in Devon in 1966. This river and location were used no end of times in shots, but I have no idea as to which river it was, but it will have been somewhere near Bedruthen in North Cornwall where they were based for two weeks.  Robin was the name that GHM gave Alicen, but no idea as to why that name was used, but she accompanied GHM and the team for the 1st week in May 1966.
