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
More Roberta by Howard Roark, so I thought it must be time for another big and busty post of her! This shot has her wearing the silver/blonde wig, but regardless of the wig, there’s no mistaking the figure and massive assets of Roberta Pedon. :)
She may be a blonde, but there is no mistaking the stunning looks of Eve Eden! A shot of Eve during her short period as a blonde and one of two shots that appeared in Carnival Autumn Extra (1964). It’s been a while since I posted some pages from Carnival and toy forget how many of the models on this blog appeared throughout the editions over the years.
A divine shot of Margaret Nolan. What an absolutely superb shot of her topless reflection in the mirror and the light reflecting in her eyes, stunning!
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.
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!
The second shot I have from this small set of photo’s of the well-endowed Hanna Viek posing on a sofa, although I’m sure there must be more out there! These seem to be earlier in her career, as these shots aren’t quite as explicit as some of her later work. We do get to see her magnificent chest and a hint of pussy as she removes her black panties. I need some new HV shots as not many left in my collection. :(
Mary Deighan, Jean Spaul (Sporle) and of course Pamela Green on the cover of Kamera No.31 (1960). All looking rather tanned as they pose nude, but Pam tanned more than the others, as I think she regularly topped up that tan at nudist camps. :)
Two shots of 1950s US model Judy Geeson showing off her stockinged leg and garter, as well as more of her slender body through an open white négligée.
Three shots of the slender figure and small tits of US model Judy Geeson posing for the camera in open sheer top, stockings, and garters from a restored silver gelatin photo.
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 :)
