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
The stunning Sue Owen sat atop a stepladder as she poses for Harrison Marks in his flat, I think? A fabulous smile as she sits there naked showing off her small tits and hairy bush with a couple of masterpieces in the background. All very artistic!
Bobby Sparrow without her wig, and Terry remembers that he worked with her several times during 1971 and 1972, mostly shooting the stockings and suspender belt style photo for the American market. She usually wore the wig and the only picture of her without one is above, but it does match them to a similar one published in Oui.
Terry also recounts that she was a very lively girl and good fun to have a laugh with. “I remember one occasion when she proudly showed me her pubic area trimmed into a heart shape. I think her current boyfriend was a hairdresser”.
“I don’t know what happened to her after about 1973 as we lost touch, but I did see a rather distressing article in a national newspaper sometime in the mid 1990s. It concerned an ex-glamour model called Roberta something, who had developed MS and was terminally ill. There was a picture of a very sick lady laying in bed, and I just could not make up my mind if it was her or not. I do remember that her real name was Roberta, so it may have been her, or it may have been someone totally different”.
Thanks to Terry for the story and hopefully the last part isn’t true, and it wasn’t Bobby, but unfortunately these things do happen. Thanks also to Terry for more shots of Bobby at Pegwell bay and that heart shaped bush!
A welcoming view of a model named as Josie Montya by Harrison Marks. Posing naked, leaning back on a sofa and showing off her body and half-and-half view of her pussy. I’ve said before, several shots of Josie appear in New Kamera No.1 (1969) under the title ‘Just Josie’, hence the title.
Wanda Liddell offering up her nice pert pair of tits, but also showing plenty on offer below and wearing the well-worn and well-used long open négligée! I published a black and white version of this shot back in 2017, but this is an original colour version.
And no, before you comment, I haven’t cropped this shot! It’s one of those arty shots by Harrison Marks that appeared in the early editions of Kamera. I also happen to know the model is Jennifer Garland, as I’ve seen several fuller images of her similar to this, plus the freckles on her legs helped identify her. :)
What a fabulous pose showing off her body and the curve of that bottom :)
Taken in August 1972 at Pegwell Bay in Kent, a colour shot sent through by Terry Sparks, showing Bobby posing nude on the beach. This one is a great shot of her posing and laying back in the shallow water’s edge, and you can just get a glimpse of bush, plus all the goosebumps, I think she was cold!
Another scan from my growing collection of Dawn Grayson medium format negatives, again no nude stuff, just an underwear shot! Saying that, it’s a fantastic shot of Dawn kneeling on the bed in a blue underwear set and the quality and colours from this negative were excellent, with very little tweaking required.
Another shot from my set of Paula Ellis posing in the sauna by Harrison Marks and from a scan of the original negative, this time a colour version. Paula only seems to have posed for one set of photo’s by Harrison Marks, and all were on the sauna set. Several of these images were published in New Kamera No.1 (1969) and all were black and white, so nice to see an original colour shot.
A beautiful shot of June Palmer taken at the same time as similar shots from She Walks in Beauty (1964). Posing on a Cornwall beach in an open long white négligée/dressing gown as she leans against some rocks, June looks as radiant as ever.
A colour scan from a medium format negative (2.5 by 2.5 inches) of Dawn Grayson posing in underwear for Spick & Span. The first medium format negative I actually own that arrived today, along with a second shot of Dawn from the same set. Very little tweaking need the quality was so good, slight adjustment of the colours and some very minor dust specks removed.
