Nature's Intention by Harrison Marks

Monique Devereux posing in long dark wig on the ‘Mandarin’ set for the cover of Nature’s Intention Vol.1 No.2 (1969). I now have No.1 and No.2 of this superb super sized (10″ x 8″) magazine by Harrison Marks, each containing 64 full pages of uncensored shots of a range of his models. Most shots originally appeared in his other publications such as Kamera and Solo, but those were the retouched versions. These are bigger and bolder and have more bush in them than the Australian outback! More of which will be seen in coming posts.

Two questions though? Does anyone know if there were more than two and does anyone have a high quality image of the cover of No.1? My copy of No.1 was missing the cover, but complete apart from that, so I’d love a high resolution version of it if anyone has one?

Lenz No.3 Cover

Lenz No.3 Cover by Harrison Marks and one of the more obscure publications from Harrison Marks and his Kamera Publications Ltd. Although the cover is by GHM the contents of the Lenz magazines tended to showcase other photographers of the time. No.3 featured the work of Ken Williams, but a lot of the models he used are very familiar and worked with Harrison Marks as well. Models in No.3 include Margaret Nolan, Sue Owen, Tina Graham, Annette Johnson and Maxine Miller and all looking fairly young!

Can anyone identify the model balancing on the Roller, as I don’t recognise her immediately? The location could well be the driveway at Ewhurst, but not much to go on.

Update: Thanks to MadMax the model has been identified as Britt Hampshire and two further shots from this shoot appear in Kamera No.58 – Thanks Max

Update 2: After further discussion it seems to be Paula King and Not Britt Hampshire and thanks to PhilD and Portland for further evidence.  Three further images below to support the Paula King theory :)



Any more theories to throw into the pot and thanks for all the feedback!

Hazel Taylor & The Glorious Gong!

Hazel Taylor posing on the Mandarin/Chinese Garden set from the pages of Nature’s Intention Vol.1 No.1 (1969) by harrison Marks. The girls in this publication sure were natural and sported wonderfully full bushes for all to see with not a bit of retouching in sight thank goodness!

Maria Clarence – Solo No.29

I’ve published images before from the ‘Solo’ collection, but this is my first copy and what a way to start collecting them with none other than Maria Clarence. I love this cover so when I saw the magazine I jumped at the chance of getting it and luckily I got it! 32 pages dedicated to Maria Clarence.. yum!

Wendy Luton – Not Your Average Household Pose!

Wendy Luton looking very inviting laying there on the rug in front of the fire. Taken from the pages of ‘Ed Alexander Photographs English Beauties’. This was used as an example of how a shot of a nude beauty can be enhanced by placing her in a normal household setting rather than a studio. To be honest with that figure you could put Wendy Luton in any location and she’d still catch my attention!

The Gypsy Girl

Princess Sonmar H’Arricks (Pamela Green) posing on the ‘Gypsy Set’ from the pages of Kamera No.40 (1962). I haven’t published a PSH image for a while, so about time I did and I love this shot. Covering your body from head to foot with black boot polish must have been a nightmare, but as with everything Pamela put her hand to it was done very well. It must have been a bugger to scrub off afterwards, but I’m sure she would have got plenty of offers of help :)

Madeline Collinson Uncensored!

Madeline, one of the Collinson twins in a uncensored colour shot by Harrison Marks. Madeline appeared in the glamour film ‘Halfway Inn’ (1969) with her twin sister Mary before going on to bigger and better things with Playboy. Unknown source for the image and doesn’t look to be related to the glamour film, potentially Ewhurst grounds?  And a very smooth almost perfect pubic area on show, if it is indeed unretouched?

More Oiled Up Robyn

Another early Harrison Marks shot from the 1950’s of model Robyn. This time an excellent side profile of her oiled body from an original silver gelatin photograph. Stunning body and a very 1950’s hairstyle if you get past the rest of her body :)

Pamela Green – Kamera No.38 Cover

One of my favourite Kamera covers and models in the form of the glorious Pamela Green posing for a still on the set of the 1960 glamour film ‘ Xcitement’. I have a full set of covers for Kamera, but I’m slowly replacing them with larger, better quality shots like this as I acquire the magazines and do a scan myself.
