In Focus by Harrison Marks

‘In Focus’ was another Kamera style pocketbook that Kamera Publications launched in 1957. As far as I can ascertain there were 21 issues produced, with the final issue being published sometime in 1964. The content and images used are again very similar to that of Kamera, with photo’s taken of the models used across both publications. There are a lot of well known models used, including early Pamela Green/Rita Landre shots, but also a few more unknown models appearing.

Listed below are covers of all editions that I currently have in my collection (Thanks to Firebird London), but you will notice that No.1, No.16 and No.19 are missing, so if anyone has a decent large copy of those I’d appreciate a copy? You will also notice some familiar models and figures appearing on the covers and I can name all but a few. So, again if anyone knows who the models are on No.8, 10, 12, 17 and No.20 please do let me know.

Sliding with Erica (1959)


Erica sliding or leaning against a curved slope from Solo No.9 P29 (1959) by Harrison Marks. It looks like the baby oil may have been out and used again, as she seems to be having trouble staying on that slope!

The cover of Études Moderne by Harrison Marks (1950’s) featuring Pamela Green with short dark hair. This was an early GHM publication featuring 32 pages of nude studies, mostly Pamela Green as herself with short dark hair, blonde or as Rita Landre, but with the odd other model interspersed amongst the Pam shots. Thanks to Firebird Records for a copy of this fantastic early Harrison Marks publication

Erica’s Floral Recline


A second shot of Erica by Harrison Marks from another restored silver gelatin print sent over by Girlymag, as she lays naked on the edge. From a small set of 5 prints of Erica I have, which I’d never seen before until now, but superb quality.

Jennifer Garland – A Pert Pink Pair! (Original)

A shot of Jennifer Garland from a restored Pamar colour slide, showing off her magnificent chest from between a black open negligee. What I can’t work out with this set of colour slides of Jennifer is if the nipples and areola were enhanced to make them look pinker? They seem to look the same in all the colour slides and images I’ve seen, so maybe she did as a redhead have pinker nipples. No complaints from me though :)

Valerie Williams – Showing Plenty of Curves!

Three beautiful shots of Valerie Williams posing nude in the studio from restored silver gelatin photo’s. All three shots show off Valerie’s curvy body superbly, and I’ve published the middle shot before, but this is a better version. I’ve seen these identified as being taken by Harrison Marks and a similar set does appear in his Glamour Guide, but I’m unsure if this set is by GHM, but it could well be.
