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
A second shot from a set featuring Margaret Nolan posing amongst posters and magazines of herself. The first original image I posted back in October is here, but this one is more revealing and shows her smoking as well!
Bridget Leonard was the live-in girlfriend of photographer Russell Gay and ran the office in Oxford Street for him, which was the mail order outlet for Venus Films. They split up around late 1967 early 1968. She was already modelling for Russell before she got a role in Harrison Marks’ first feature film, ‘Naked as Nature Intended’. She first appeared in Kamera No.43 (1961) then Kamera No.44, 46 (Cover) & 54 and then in Solo No.25 dedicate just to her. Her only glamour film appearance was as a Wild-West saloon girl in the HM Glamour Movie No.106 ‘Gamblin’ Gal’ (1962).
The cracking shot of Bridget above comes from Kamera No.46 (1962) and features her on the cover and centre pages in stills taken on the Wild-West Saloon set featured in ‘Gamblin Gal’.
A pendulous view of Ann Austin as she leans forward looking at the camera showing off those full hanging tits with a mischievous look on her face! This shot was published in Ahoy Magazine published by Russell Gay and unfortunately was one only shot of Ann in this edition.
The cover of the first edition of Amber by Russell Gay, featuring a model I recognize but unable to name at present? This first edition featured classic models posing in underwear or topless such as Nancy Roberts, Erica, and Rochelle Lofting and was published towards the end of the 1950s or possibly the early 60s. Classic stuff from Russell Gay and up there as some of my favourite early glamour publications along with QT, Model, and Coral.
A glorious shot of the late Margaret Nolan. Taken in the studio by Russell Gay, a perfect pose by Maggie next to an ornate table and standing lamp. Great lighting in the shot as well, and she also seems to be wearing a blonde wig, even though it’s similar to her own hair colour.
A restored 10 by 8 print of the bountiful Suzi Shaw by Russell Gay. I have several shots of Suzi by Harrison Marks, but this is the first I’ve seen taken by Russell Gay or produced at his studio. I know this because it has his studio address stamp from Portland Street in London on the back of the photo.
Regardless of who took the shot, you cannot deny the fact that this is a wonderful shot showing off Suzi’s very ample tits up close! And for a fraction of a second you wonder what the ring on the necklace is all about, but then you forget that and go back to those tits! This is the only shot I have from this set of Suzi, unless Scott that sent it over is holding back on me, but thanks must go to Scott for sending this one. :)
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. :)
The world is going tits up, so may as well share a nice big pair from Marie Davis! And a beautiful big pair they are from Marie, taken by Russell Gay.
A beautiful original 6 x 4 print by Russell Gay of an unknown model from my own collection.
A very typical 1960s pose from Russell Gay and I love the curve of those hips, the black suspender belt and stockings and how the sheer panties sit just between them. All as the model stares at the camera whilst cupping those nicely proportioned tits. A perfect pose!
A brilliant shot and pose of Lorraine Burnett by Russell Gay from an original print in my collection. I just love the fancy stockings and pearl necklace in this shot, plus the tin foil background, which in colour shots seems to have a multicoloured look to it. Classic Lorraine in the way she looks and poses, and this shot probably appeared in either Model or QT, both published by Gay.
