Mary Deighan

 
A beautifully restored image of Mary Deighan, probably part of the collection that appeared in the 96 page pocket book ‘Kamera Backstage’ in 1959.

Marie Provost – Knew I'd Seen Her Somewhere Before!

I knew I’d seen the model going by the name of Marie Provost before and I came across them today when looking for a specific Frankie Young image. These are from Kamera No.56 and prove it’s not Elaine Desmond.

 

 

 

So she now appears in this article and Kamera No.56 & 61, although it was probably only one photo shoot that produced the images for both Kamera issues and cover dates put both at 1964.

Diving With June Palmer (Original)

I’ve been scouring the archive’s for inspiration for my 500th post, but nothing jumped out until I saw these again.  I decided the post should be JP related, but wanted something different, so when I saw these it was decided!

June Palmer in the late 1960’s on holiday diving!  One with her in scuba gear preparing to dive and then two of her doing some nude snorkeling (my favourites!)  Apart from her great bum, the two underwater shots are fantastic and love the bubbles surrounding her on the last shot.  I’ve done very little to these shots apart from some minor colour adjustments and removing the odd blemish, but the quality on the underwater shots was amazing!

These were probably taken by Arthur Howell on holiday and again the best guess is Corsica as it seems to be a favourite holiday location.

So this was my 500th post since March when I started this blog, Wow! Thanks must go to all the contributors who have helped with the quality of this blog and the fantastic original photo’s that have been sent to me, including John W who provided the 3 images above and allowing me to share them!

Annette Johnson – She Walks in Beauty

Four shots of Annette Johnson from She Walks in Beauty, with at least two or three of the shots located at Ewhurst within the grounds.  Not quite sure what’s going on with the shot by the window and the bowl of fruit in the front of the shot!

Kamera Special No.4 & No.5 Covers


The cover of Kamera Special No.4 featuring Elaine Desmond perched precariously on some mussel cover rocks!


The cover of Kamera Special No.5 featuring a much happier Jutka Goz as she didn’t have to balance on some dodgy rocks for this shot :)

Mary Stephan (Caroline Coon) – Rogue Magazine

Mary Stephan from the pages of Rogue Magazine Vol.20 No.15 (December 1968).  Taken by GHM on the Xmas/Winter set that he used for the Kamera Winter Special (1967) and ‘Festive Spirit’ glamour film featuring Dawn Grayson.  It seems that this winter setting appeared across numerous December publications at this time.

Correction – I originally had this down as Rosalie Peters, but my error was pointed out and it is indeed Mary Stephan, or Caroline Coon when she wore a blonde wig.

Big Hair, Nice Bush, But Who Is She?

I’ve seen this model in other GHM publications before, but as of yet I’ve not been unable to identify this model with the big hair and big bush!  For reference this shot comes from the GHM publication Nature’s Intention Vol.1 No.1 ‘A Series of Natural Art Studies’  It was a 64 page medium format (8″ x 10″,  200mm x 250mm) magazine published around 1969 by Roydock books Ltd if that helps?  She also appeared in single shots through-out Kamera at the same time and in Magnificent Models No.2 by Nostalgia Publications.  Two more smaller shots below.


I’ve also created an ‘Unknown Models‘ page to list all of the unknown models I come across, so that you can hopefully help me identify these mysterious beauties?  There is also a link to the page on the right hand side under Models.
