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
An original image of Diane Webber (Marguerite Empey) taking a soapy bath in what looks like a giant wok! I’m a big fan of Diane from her early work and later as a naturalist, and there is a tenuous link to her and this site. In 1959 Kamera Publications published a book dedicated to Diane called ‘The Diane Weber Album’, unfortunately the images weren’t taken by Harrison Marks but an import for the US. Any excuse to publish this great unseen shot, and thanks to Kevin for sharing it with me.
The glorious Pamela Green posing on the set of the 1960 glamour film ‘Xcitement’ from a 35 mm Pamar colour slide. Interestingly, this image also appears on the cover of Kamera No.38 (1961) here, but one of the shots is reversed? The colours of the slide have faded so not as bright or colourful as the cover, but I think the slide is the correct way round not the cover, but I could be wrong?
Another perfect shot of Marie Deveraux by Harrison Marks from this set of images.
Taken in the studio, it captures Marie using a fishing net as a make shift skirt and only just managing to hide her lower region from the camera. But if you look really carefully it doesn’t quite hide everything, but don’t stare too long, or you’ll go blind! ;)
I had forgotten that I had this shot of Hilde Beck on the Egyptian set by Harrison Marks! This is a scan of an original negative sent through by Kevin before Christmas and although not the best composed shot, it still shows a lovely rearview of Hilde, but I doubt she really needed any support. :)
A beautiful nude unknown model looking over her shoulder in the studio. Taken by Harrison Marks, I have no idea who this model is, but just love her figure and how the white background highlights her waist. A nice rounded bottom and firm tit on view too, with a perfect look on her face as she stares at the camera.
A scan of one of my own growing collection of negatives, this time June Russell posing sat in a coloured striped deckchair! I love this shot and can just imagine coming across June sat on the beach like this, well maybe not, but one can imagine.
The second shot of this small set of slides and another absolutely stunning shot of the fabulous June Palmer from an original 35 mm colour slide in my collection. The first shot here had June kneeling, but this is one of her standing tall with arms above her head, showing off her hourglass figure covered only by the fishnet tights. Stunning view of June, who was always a step above the rest of the other models in my eyes, apart from maybe a couple of popular exceptions. :)
A great rearview of Monique Devereux’s rear as she poses for Harrison Marks in front of the TV in his flat. I sometimes think I prefer her rearview to the front, as it is a nice arse! Great shot from GHM in his flat and the ceramic cats make an appearance on the top of the TV and a great shot of Maggie Nolan on the wall in the background. I have several shots of Margaret posing like that in the forest, but don’t think I have that one?
A great shot of Monique to kick off my return from Holiday all refreshed and ready to go again, so normal service has resumed :)
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!
