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 beginning of March and time for the third month of the 1967 Kamera Calendar, which also aligns perfectly date wise with 2023. February features a blonde haired Marie Claire posing naked on the stairs. A warming view to what looks like another chilly month ahead!
The cover of light and shade No.12 from the 1960s featuring the stunning figure of an unknown beauty in gold. I’ve also included a shot of the same model from the pages within, with both shots showing her as a reflection in a mirror. Both shots show off her fabulous figure and curves, but can anyone identify her?
Another shot from a set of 35 mm black and white negatives of a model only known as Suki. Taken at Criterion studio’s in 1979 it’s from a strip of 5 photos of Suki posing in a popular rattan type basket chair.
Suki trying to look sultry as she sits legs slightly apart in the chair in her pulled up striped socks and not much else.
The lovely rear of Sue Owen (Suzi Khan) by Harrison Marks. Another shot from an original medium format negative, but one I also have as a 35 mm colour Pamar slide as well, but not as good as this scan. Sue looks fabulous looking back over her shoulder and showing off that nice round arse and one very small pert tit as she poses on the beach set.
Maureen Tavenbeck posing in GHM’s Gerrard Street flat from the pages of Kamera No.61 (1964) and holding a Peggy Lee album. It’s actually the 1960 album ‘All Aglow Again’ and starts with one of my favourite tracks from Peggy, ‘Fever’.
I also have the original medium format negative of this shot, which shows a more uncensored view of Maureen and the album cover. Clicking the image above takes you to the better view! :)
A second shot of model Tsai Fong taken by Terry Sparks in October 1973. This exotic beauty looks fabulous posing over the arm of that rocking chair, showing off her fine figure and bum. :)
Maureen Stokes from another 35 mm black and white negatives taken at Jason Studio’s in the 1960s. Much more on view as she stands there against the mirror in black suspender belt and fishnet stockings. She’s not got much in the tits department, but makes up for it down below!
Not a bad afternoon’s work from Maureen and her big hooped earrings. :)
A restored version of a print of Vicky Ashley taken by Leslie Bainbridge for Health & Efficiency. Fabulous view of her sat in that armchair, wearing pearls and a chain belt, subtly highlighting her smooth neat pussy.
The dusky delights of Virginia Jones. Kneeling on a bed with a great piece of artwork featuring June Palmer in the background, we get to see all of Virginia! A fully uncensored and fully natural pussy from Virginia for all to see. Not everyone’s preference, but a great view, pussy, and figure regardless. :)
An image from a different set of photo’s from my collection of negatives I randomly bought! Caroline Coon in bed with the master himself, on the job so to speak! Even back then, hidden cameras were used to capture initiate moments and these 3 shots seem to be candid, until Caroline sees the camera in the final shot.
Reading through the many articles and images from the old Harrison Marks website, I came across some out-takes and commentary of the two weeks GHM and his team spent in Cornwall in 1966 with several models. The following is an excerpt from week 2.
‘Those of you that have read about Harrison Marks on the website, will know that two of the members of his crew, Tony and David, had a reputation for, sometimes elaborate, practical jokes. A hidden camera with a remote shutter cable wouldn’t have been a problem for them and catching George on film in private moments was not difficult as you see’.
Although I have no doubt these shots were one of those occasions, a couple of things I noticed. Caroline Coon as far as I’m aware never went on the two weeks to Cornwall in 1966. If she did, she was one of the unnamed models, but then there are no images of her on location? Secondly, I have many shots of Caroline, including this shot featuring the same location and bed. So maybe not on location, but another time and location or even a set.
What we do see if the master on the job in more than one way, enjoying himself with Caroline. Even when she notices the hidden camera, she is laughing and pointing. So the joke seems to have been taken in a good way. Doubt it would have had the same reaction today!
