June Palmer – Star Strip (Video)

It must be time for another Harrison Marks Film from his Kamera Cine Film collection. This time it’s Kamera Cine Film No. 48 ‘Star Strip’ (1964) featuring none other than June Palmer and Stuart Samuels. The story behind this film is simple, it features June preparing backstage in very little to go on stage and perform a striptease, with Samuels thrown in for a bit of light entertainment.

This film is one of the more common films by GHM that you can find out on the internet, but what is different about this version is it’s the 16 mm version of the film and not the standard 8 mm version. That means the quality of the film is much better and that comes across in this digital conversion, plus it’s the full end to end film including beginning and end titles.

This is for members only here, but if members can confirm if the video plays, as I’m trying to get videos working on the site again! :)

Virginia Green – Canes & Curves!


Virginia Green posing nude between two bamboo canes, but I’m not sure if this shot is by Harrison Marks or Russell Gay, as both used Virginia in a setting with bamboo canes? I think it’s GHM because of the use of lighting to get the highlights and shadows across Virginia’s exquisite curves. He also used a dark background in some bamboo shots with Virginia that are published in Solo No.15, but I could be wrong. A straight from the negative image showing a smooth and uncensored view as well. :)

GHM & His Models – Samantha

The start of something slightly different with some photos of the great man himself, Harrison Marks posing in front of the camera with his models. I have various shots of GHM with different models, so thought I’d post a few between the normal posts.

The first model with the great man is Samantha posing on Bedruthan beach, Cornwall in May 1966. Samantha was one of five models taken by Harrison Marks for the 2nd week of the Bedruthen shoot, which started on Saturday 21st May. As I’ve already stated, Samantha was classed as a young actress and only posed for GHM for that one week in May, with nearly all the photo’s of her appearing in Kamera on Location 66. These shots were never actually published, but included as part of the Kamera on Location 1966 CD you could once purchase from the Harrison Marks website.

An Exciting View!


Another photo from a set of contact sheets featuring 10-15 sets of models, all of which I believed were from France or Europe due to the uncensored nature and style. And yet another model that I was able to find published in Exciting No.4 published by Nordisk Bladcentral, Copenhagen and distributed by Sangko-Norden back in the 1960s.

A very 60s feel to this shot with the funky jewellery and stockings and a great figure on this model, although a rather goofy smile. She sort of reminds me of Lorraine Burnett, although she had a better figure in my opinion!

Barbara Peckinpaugh by Edmund Leja


The elegant Barbara Peckinpaugh, taken by US photographer Edmund Leja in 1980 from a set of original contact sheets. Barbara only worked as a model for a short period of time from 1980 until 1986 under various names and seems to have mostly done glamour or softcore work apart from two hardcore movies. Sadly no longer with us, as It’s reported that after her short career in modelling, she committed suicide. In nearly all her photo’s she’s blonde, but this shot was at the beginning of her short career, so obviously her natural colour.

Edmund Leja (1919-2002) was based in West Hollywood at the heart of the early Southern California nude photography industry. He was also friends with Andre de Dienes and both shared several model contacts including Diane Webber, Collette Berne (Playboy cover model, July 1960), and Sue Snow and Tammy Saunders. Leja discovered and photographed three Playmates for Playboy magazine Teddi Smith, Miss July 1960, Donna Michelle, Miss December 1963 (and 1964’s Playmate of the Year), and Lori Winston, Miss June 1964.

Edmund Leja photographed over 200 models between the 1940s and the early 1980s, and until I came across these shots of Barbara, I assumed he only shot glamour shots similar to those published in Playboy. Apparently not as there are several shots of Barbara showing off a lot more (as members can see), but at least the collars and cuffs match showing she was a natural brunette :)

Julie Collins & Her Massive Mounds!


Julie Collins posing nude by Harrison Marks as she sits astride a chair showing off her massive mounds and that fabulously full and curvy figure. I found a shot I’ve published from this set previously here, which seems to be from Parade or Carnival.

A Sun Kissed Angela


Angela Duncan stretching out and enjoying the sun on a sun lounger showing off her exceptional assets taken by Harrison Marks in the grounds of Ewhurst Manor! Are those sun loungers still around, as I remember them as a lad and trying to expand them and set them up. Only to sit on it, lay back and it to collapse in on me, ah those were the days!

Saying that, I never saw anyone like Angela sunbathing on them like that!

June Palmer – Long Haired Lover!


A beautiful shot of a young June Palmer from a restored set of 35 mm colour negatives. I think the long dark hair isn’t real but a hair extension? I also love those pink, slightly parted lips. :)

Look out for a big June update in the coming weeks. I have so many images of June, it’s hard to keep up with them all. So I’m going to publish full sets of her that I’ve collated over the years. Sets will range from her very early years, with key photographers such as Harrison Marks, and sets of her later in her career. Members will of course have full access to the larger images without watermarks.

Della’s Foxy View!


A restored original silver gelatin print of Della Fox. A fabulous shot of her, but I’m not too sure what that is on her shoulder, don’t think it’s a fox, but it made a good title! I suppose it might be a mink or something, but still a bizarre thing to have in the shot and draped over her shoulder. Maybe the photographer thought he needed to add something more to the shot, but what’s wrong with just a naked Della?
