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
The man himself Harrison Marks! Photographed here on location in 1958 with Pamela Green (dark wig) and Marie Deveraux (blonde wig). A typical shot of GHM with camera in hand and a cigarette not too far away! Taken on the Scilly Isles, this shot of Harrison Marks and two of his most popular models appeared in his hardback book Kamera on Location P8 (1958).
Elaine Desmond, posing for Harrison Marks as she kneels on her hands and knees naked in the sand. Taken from an original medium format negative down on a beach, probably on location in Cornwall in the mid 1960s. A fabulous pose by Elaine, but she does seem to have a bit of a sandy bottom!
Two different shots of Marie Deveraux from the 1958 hardback publication ‘Kamera on Location’ by Harrison Marks. Both taken on location in and around the Isles of Scilly and show Marie posing nude apart from a scarf and different coloured hair! I assume the blonde shot is a wig as Marie was naturally dark, but can’t quite make up my mind which look I prefer, black or blonde?
I don’t know why, but this rearview shot of Jackie Salt taken by Harrison Marks down in the shallows on Bedruthan Beach in Cornwall really appeals to me for some reason. Mind you, she does have a very nice bottom that makes the mind wander and think of things one could do with her on a sunny secluded beach like that!
Taken in 1961, this original negative seems to have been taken during the filming of ‘Naked as Natured Intended’ and a reversed copy of this shot appears here on a lobby card advertising the film itself. Bedruthan beach in Cornwall was and still is a bugger to get to, due to it’s secluded location and 100’s of worn dodgy steps to get down to it. No wonder GHM chose it for several of his location shoots, including this one.
Dreaming of sunny days on a secluded beach with Jackie and why not on a cold winter’s day :)

A very sandy view of Rita (Pamela Green) from Kamera on Location P38 (1958) It looks a bit like a sand bikini, the way the sand has stopped in a perfect line across her boobs, not that I’m complaining :)
The final two shots I have of Marianne Morris posing on a beach in Rhodes taken by Terry Sparks, plus two German magazine articles featuring the Rhodes 3, again obviously taken by Terry. Marianne looks fantastic in the two original images from Terry and although I love the shot of her running her tongue over her lips, I think I prefer the second shot. I just love the pose of her laying back on the wet sand, with the reflection of her body showing in the wet ripples of the sand. A perfectly composed shot from Terry and a great additional prop of the large necklace!
The two magazine articles show all three of the Rhodes models, Marianne Morris, Venetia Day and Dinah Challen posing in the sea and on the rocks and love the colour shot of all three of them. Dinah in those long black boots and blue panties looks fantastic and a shame I’ve n ot got any of those from Terry :)
Thanks as always to Terry for sharing his original images with me and still a few more Venetia Day shots to go before I run out!
Another of my Margaret Nolan posts expertly coloured by Oldiznewagain and a favourite from the shots of her that appeared in ‘She Walks in Beauty’ shot in 1964. The original black and white version can be seen here.
Some more shots of Marianne Morris (modelling as Vicki Pascale) who has already appeared on this site before with two other models. Terry took Marianne and the other two models to Rhodes in the May of 1971 and took the above shots of her posing in the sea. The top shot comes direct from Terry’s collection, hence the better quality, but on my Internet trawls I also found the two page colour shots of Marianne. At least one of the images was obviously taken by Terry in Rhodes and these images were published in a German magazine called Das Neue Sunny Girl Vol.5 No.3. I’ve also found several other images of the 3 models posing for Terry in Rhodes that appear in other German publications, so will post those separately.
Finally Terry has now sent me several of his own shots of the black girl that appears in the ‘Rhodes 3‘ shot, who was a model named Venetia Day, but more of her to come later as well :)
As I’ve just come back from my holidays, what better way to kick things off again than with a beach view from the Terry Sparks archive! This is Marianne Morris (modelling as Vicki Pascale) who has already appeared on this site before with two other models here, she is the one in the middle. Terry took Marianne and the other two models to Rhodes in the May 1971 and this shot of her kneeling in the shallows is one of four that Terry sent through. Marianne later went on to do a spread in Mayfair and also had quite a large part in the film “Vampyres”, also as a model she worked under the model agency run by non-other than June Palmer! What a great body, but not sure if that is a real necklace or a set of buoys around her neck! Thanks to Terry for a fabulous shot.

An original shot of June in the familiar ‘Black Striped Bikini‘ posing in the sand dunes for Arthur Howell in the mid 1960’s, whilst on holiday somewhere in the UK. I’ve also added this to the ‘June on Holiday‘ set and thanks to John for sharing this original with me, as I’ve seen plenty of shots from this set, but not this one :)
