Jane Steadman: A Bouncing Beauty!

A beautiful shot of until now an unknown beauty taken by Harrison Marks, but now identified as British model Jane Steadman.

This shot was taken in front of the large willow tree on the front lawn at Ewhurst Manor, and actually looks as though Jane is balancing on tiptoes like a ballerina. If you look closely, though, she is actually in midair or mid-jump when the shot was taken, which shows how good GHM was at his craft. To capture someone jumping midair like that and to get the shot focused manually as it would have been back then is truly remarkable. That’s not to say it didn’t take multiple attempts, but compared to today where you can just keep shooting with instant results, this is a superb shot of Jane. Jane also makes the shot work, not only with her slender body, small perky tits and fine bush, but also the perfect midair pose :)

Perfect Heavy Hangers (Original)


A second original shot from a set of 35mm black and white negatives of this top heavy 1980’s model. I love this set and the fact that even though she’s wearing a t-shirt it’s obvious she’s got a huge pair underneath! As the title says a perfect pair of heavy hangers, the only down side to the set is I don’t have any of her without the white t-shirt on :(

Diane Hedges – Amongst The Blossom! (Original)

A beautifully restored shot of Diane Hedges posing amongst the flower blossom in white. This shot is from a 35mm colour slide that had the usual red tinge to it, but I was able to recover the colours. Regardless of the colour it’s a wonderful shot of Diane and I love the white sheer top and panties and that smile! I’d put this slide at somewhere between the late 1950’s or very early 60’s, but hard to tell as Diane tends to look the same in all the shots I have.

Avra’s Smooth Offering!


Another fabulous shot from my collection of Avra Bennett. Avra appears through-out Kamera No.37 (1961) in various poses in and out of the tub you can just see and around the boudoir, but this is more of an open frontal shot showing her smooth pussy. She was very tidy down there so an easy one to retouch and this actual shot did make it into Kamera No.37 P10 :)

Captivating Chere! (Original)


Another image of the model known only as Chere by Harrison Marks in 1966. Posing nude on the bed subsequent photos of her appear in Kamera No.73 & 74, but this shot comes from an original medium format negative in my collection

Ann Wilson: Perfectly Presented!


Another shot of redhead model Ann Wilson posing perfectly on the croquet lawn at Ewhurst. Taken by Harrison Marks, most of these outdoor shots at Ewhurst went on to appear in Solo No.44 (1965) dedicated to Ann’s fine figure. Another shot I don’t think this actual shot made it into publication, but I love the kneeling pose and her completely smooth outlook. ;)

Gina Baker – Another Highlighted Beauty Revealed! (Original)


I have had several sets of original negatives of this beauty in my collection for a while now, but never posted her, as she was down as an unknown to me. This shot comes from a set of 35mm negatives taken in the studio by an amateur photographer, but I also have a set of her taken by Harrison Marks on the bedroom set in pigtails.

Well now thanks to a happy coincidence I’ve been able to name her and several other unknown models. Last week Paul from Firebird Records sent over a dozen pages of original studio leaflets containing details of the studio’s, the facilities and a list of models on their books and how amateur photographers could book them and how much it would cost. More of that in another post, but amongst the models listed was Gina Baker and upon searching the name it came up with images of the model above. The different model lists have Gina down as 5’0″ tall with long brown hair and her vital statistics of 35.23.35 and you could book her for the princely sum of £2/2/- per hour in the studio, bargain! At a guess I’d say this shot may well have been from one of those amateur sessions :)

Another Mystery Woman! (Original)

Another unknown model photographed by Harrison Marks that I thought I’d already posted but hadn’t! This model appears late in the Kamera run with her only appearing in the penultimate and final editions Kamera No.88 & No.89 (1968). This shot is from a number of negatives I have of her, but was also published in Kamera No.88 P20, but in a slightly retouched version. As you can see in this shot there is just a bit too much on show for publication back then, although they seem to have removed everything including the stubble in the printed version :)

Another model that always seemed to wear a wig when posing and I have this model down as Unknown Model No.38 in my list of unknown models
