Anna Verdi, leaning back on a sofa arm as she poses for Harrison Marks. Another versatile 1960s UK model that worked with all the key photographers of the time. Great slender figure and natural look. :)
Laid Back Anna
Maria Clarence Laid Bare!
Maria Clarence beautiful and bare from an original negative scan, with the published retouched version of this shot appearing in Kamera No.46 P15 (1962).
Her first appearance was in Kamera No.45 (1962) and further photos were published in issues No.46, 47, 48, 50, 55, 56, 60, 61, 66 & No.75. She also appeared in Kamera Special No.3 and six pages in the hardback book ‘She Walks in Beauty’. Maria was chosen for the 1962 Cornwall location shoot, and a total of nearly eighty photographs of Maria were published, including duos taken with Margaret Nolan and Jane Mathews. There are two known sets of 35 mm Colour Slides of Maria, No’s 24 and No.32 with Margaret Nolan from the Cornwall shoot.
Just Georgina!
Everyone sees an image differently, and scanning and editing original negatives is no different. What I think works with contrast, colours and sharpness may not be to everyone’s taste, but that’s why we’re all different! This image is a good example, as it came from an original scan of a negative using a wet scan, which uses fluid on a flat scanner to remove scratches and imperfections from the image (go look it up!). I then took it and enhanced the colours, focus, and crop to give the results above, not a bad effort I would say!
The image itself, it’s taken by Harrison Marks and the mode is known as Georgina or Georgina Michele.
A Quick Dip With Gill
Gill Evans having a quick dip in a rock pool down at the beach in 1966. Taken by Harrison Marks in the summer of 1966 at Bedruthan in Cornwall. Gill was a model from the second week of the trip and seemed to enjoy being in the water, as she is photographed in the sea, rock pools and a river in various shots throughout Kamera on Location 66.
Incidentally, I’m heading down to Cornwall next week, so may just have a visit ot Bedruthan, although the steps down are closed now limiting access.
June Palmer: Nude on Black
From the same set of negatives as ‘June’s Little White Number‘ comes another set of June taken at the same time, but this time capturing June posing nude against a black background. Another superb set of 18 images of Just June naked, what more could you want?
June’s Little White Number
The start of yet another fantastic set of images of June Palmer from the 1960s, posing in a little white baby-doll négligée in the studio. This is a full set of 36 images from a complete 35 mm film, ranging from fully dressed to completely naked, with various stages of undress in between! These first two show June posing still covered by the négligée, but that doesn’t last long!
June Palmer: Perfectly Posed
The stunning June Palmer by Stefan Glass and shot is part of the huge Stefan Glass Set. It’s also a slightly cropped version, but I’ve only removed some side to this shot so you can focus on the main subject, June’s young naked body!
A wonderful shot of her sat on the sofa, posing as she examines a pot of thistles!
Marie's Perfect Curves
A closer shot of Marie Deveraux by Harrison Marks from a medium format negative. A beautiful figure study of a kneeling Marie showing off her perfect curves. Superb lines and form. :)
Not Such An Unknown Amateur
I recently received a collection of negatives from a contact taken at some point during the 1960s, including these 3 nude shots of this unknown model. At first, I thought they were just shots someone had taken of an amateur housewife in the front room, but it seems I may have been mistaken.
I recently came across a late 1960s publication called Satin Flash, which is very similar in style to Nylon Flash, Range, and others. All feature single models, duo’s or sometimes groups doing a striptease and as the titles suggest wearing nylons. Some feature well known models to this site, and others I don’t recognize. Well, Satin Flash No.40 features the above model stripping and exposing herself in various outfits. So, maybe not such an amateur after all, although I have no idea who she is and if the 3 shots I have ever appeared in a publication. Not the best figure I’ve seen either, but very natural and the same half smile in all shots.
All Eyes on Virginia
The beautiful Virginia Jones by Harrison Marks from an original negative sent over by Ray from his extensive collection of GHM negatives. Taken in the late 1960s, several shots of Virginia from this set went on to appear in New Kamera No.1 (1969). A stunning ebony model with a very nice pair of perky tits, but her eyes look slightly wrong in this shot as you can’t see the whites of her eyes. I think it’s just the shadow or the angle of the shot, but it doesn’t really detract from the rest of the view. :)
