Lana Surfin by Paul Pantha (Original)


Another new UK model from the late 1960’s in the shapely form of Lana Surfin photographed by Paul Pantha, who is none other than Terry Sparks under a Pseudonym. Another wonderful model that I have lots of different shots of posing in and around a familiar house layout that Terry seemed to like, but no idea about it’s location or other details. A stunning body and figure on her, but also can’t seem to find any publications she appeared in, at least under this name :)

 

Fran Dorn: Nippletastic!


After recently posting this shot of Fran Dorn from my collection, Terry Sparks mailed me with this fantastic shot of Fran from his own collection! Although he no longer has a lot of the originals in his archive, he did have this colour shot of Fran posing in the pool. And what a shot it is, showing Fran stood in the pool, arms above her head showing off those bullet nipples! Nippletastic as the title says!

Thanks as always to Terry for sharing his shots with us :)

A Frisky Fran Dorn by Terry Sparks


Fran Dorn by Terry Sparks from a fabulous set of shots of her posing in different rooms of a house, including this shot of her in the bath! Fran also posed for Terry under the name Frankie Martin, so I have plenty of her to come from both sets.

I do love this set of her posing in the bath and a different shot from behind as she kneels with one leg up on the edge of the bath. A very frisky shot of her squeezing one small tit and giving us a delicious view of what lies between her legs. A differing style of photo from Terry as you moved into the 1970s, where the shots and poses became more provocative in nature rather than glamour. Not a complaint, just an observation. :)

Yvonne Perrin – A Rear Reveal!


Time for a new model from the Terry Sparks archive to add to the growing collection of models he photographed. This ebony beauty revealing her rear is Yvonne Perrin, who Terry photographed in 1974. Terry doesn’t remember much about this set or model, but did comment she wasn’t one of his favourites. Maybe because I hadn’t heard of her until I found this set, it probably means she didn’t have a successful modelling career, but who knows?

I quite like her as she has a slender figure, small perky tits and when you see the front view a lot to show off down below :)

A Sandy Day!

Venetia Day covered in sand as she poses naked on a beach in Rhodes for Terry Sparks in 1971. A great shot of Venetia with her arms flung back and wearing that large bead necklace that Terry preferred and as worn by Vicki Pascale and others that posed for him. Another sunny shot, and I’d have offered to rub that sand off her if needed. :)

Yvonne By Terry Sparks


Another of those rare ebony beauties from the Terry Sparks archive in the form of Yvonne Perrin. Terry photographed a few, but the most famous from this site point of view will have been Sylvia Bayo (Lucienne Camille). Saying that, Yvonne has a great figure with a hint of full on bush in view and wearing a familiar necklace again!

Cherry Orchard – No Hiding Place For Modesty! (1972)


Over the past years I’ve been busy scanning and editing my growing collection of new models taken by Terry Sparks and Cherry is one of those models! When I say new, I mean new to me, not new work! Scanned from a set of 10 contact sheets with 120 different images, I love this shot of Cherry trying to cover her modesty and failing as she poses in front of a mirror. A stunning model that looks familiar to me for some reason, but a fabulous slender figure on show and as with most glamour models from the early 70s onwards showing off a very full thick bush indeed!

Terry certainly had an eye for capturing his models in the best light, but I’m not so sure about the names he gave them sometimes, as I’m assuming Cherry Orchard wasn’t her real name? Saying that, Cherry Orchard has a certain ring to it and probably works well for this model.

Again, these are a different era and type of image to the early Harrison Marks and Russell Gay images you would normally find here, but a bit of diversity never hurts. Especially as most of the stuff I’m posting now is original never seen before stuff that I’ve come across on my travels and worth sharing. As always, a big thank you to Terry for the dates and names of the new models. :)

Franni Leigh – Skirt No.25 Cover

 

Fanni Leigh (Polly Eltes) on the cover of Skirt No.25 with the photo taken by Terry Sparks. I always like it when I come across a published image either on the cover or within the pages of a vintage magazine that I also have in my original collection and this falls into that category. I recently published a similar black and white version of Franni by Terry here, then what do I find on my travels but a magazine cover featuring one of the shots, but in colour. Unfortunately I don’t have any colour shots from this set of Franni, but at least I now know the colour of her top!
It’s always quite satisfying when you see a shot like above and can identify the model, photographer and date it was taken. The original shots were taken in August of 1972, so one assumes this was published later 72 or 73? Unfortunately I only found the cover, so no idea if Franni went on to reveal more on the inside pages!

 

The Fabulous Franni Leigh! (Original)

 

Another shot by Terry Sparks from my collection of his contact sheets and this time featuring Franni Leigh, who has already appeared on this site several times before here. This comes from a set of photos taken by Terry in August 1972 and the two previous colour shots on the bed are from this same set. Compared to my other posts and other shots I have seen this is very tame, but at the same time a very good shot of her, with you being able to see her small pert tits through that tight top.
As already explained Franni wasn’t her real name and beneath that wig she was actually fashion model Polly Eltes, who worked for the likes of David Bailey and others, with this being one of her few full nude modelling assignments. She also had brief careers as a British actress and singer, but today she has come full circle and has become a successful photographer behind the camera working for interiors and lifestyle magazines. Thanks as always to Terry for the fabulous insights into his time behind the camera with these models.

Gillian: The Perfect Glass Holder!


Gillian Hanna or as she is better known Jennifer Eccles showing us her great glass holders, although the wine may get a little warm, as I know I would between those! This original shot was sent to me by the photographer himself, Terry Sparks, and as many of you would know Terry has kindly been sending me some of his work along with some fantastic stories.

This shot also comes with a little story attached and Terry comments that In September 1977 I photographed a girl that I knew as Gillian Hanna. She was a bit of a nutcase, heavily into porn, both stills and film. I only worked with her the once, as she was not really right for the markets I was shooting for at the time.

Well we all know the type of material that Gillian/Jennifer went on to do in the 1970s and onwards, but what an incredible find as I’ve not seen this shot of her before. Thanks to Terry for sharing his image and story, unfortunately he only has the one shot of her remaining.
