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?

Angela Duncan – A Flash in Black


A fabulous glamour shot of Angela Duncan (Trudi Eyre) kneeling on a sheepskin rug in black stockings and open black dress, revealing her ample cleavage encased in a black bra. You also get a flash of her black panties and suspenders in this shot. A seductively sexy view of Angela from a set of original 35 mm black and white negatives. Sometimes having the models dressed or flashing is more erotic than full nudity, of which Angela was good at both.

Lesley Draper


A beautiful 10 by 8 print of Lesley Draper. I’ve posted a few shots here of her, and she seems to have posed for several photographers including Leslie Bainbridge.

I love this shot of her posing in a striped blouse held together by the slimmest of bows! The lighting on her face and hair is perfect. :)
