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
A very made-up Jean Spaul (Sporle) from Kamera Special No.2 P27 (1958). Jean with her hair pulled back and big dangly earrings, again with striking make-up, what I can’t make my mind up about though, is if she was ‘blacked up’ in this shot? Similar to Pamela Green as Princess Sonmar Harriks I’ve seen shots in Kamera of Jean ‘blacked up’ from head to foot, but can’t quite decide if this is one of those shots, or just her make-up and lighting?
The elegantly posed Marie Deveraux from Kamera No.4 P22 (1957). A simple nude studio shot of Marie posing as if a statue, and it reminds me slightly of a Greek marble goddess. I love the make-up highlighting the eyes and eyebrows and the hair tied up with pearls, simple but effective and all showing off Marie’s beautiful body to great effect.
Julie (Shearing) posing nude on a leopardskin rug from Kamera Special No.1 P92 (1957). I love Julie and this pose is no different, in the way she is leaning forward giving us a great view of her curves and the shape of those boobs, as she looks sideways at the camera, beautiful! I still find it fascinating, that although she looks so Latinesque she was an English beauty through and through, looks as they say can be deceptive.
Jennifer Garland from the Kamera Special No.2 P17 (1958). This is how the shot appeared in the magazine, but I’m not too sure if it should be horizontal, as she seems to be laying on her back amongst the sheepskin rugs. Actually when I turned it horizontally, it actually looks better this way. Whatever orientation you can beat a bit of Jennifer in black negligee showing off her ample bosom!

A beautiful shot of a young June taken by Russell Gay and may well have appeared in one of his publications, but it’s unknown as to which and when. I’ve seen a similar shot of June in this outfit before, but that corset looks a damn tight fit to me, but I know that’s the point and gave a woman the curves she craved, but still looks like she can’t breathe! Love the outfit of black panties and stockings, plus the long hair and beauty spot. It also looks to have been taken at the same time as the glamour film ‘So Fur … So Good!‘, also by Russell Gay
Another scan from an original Walton slide sent through by Jeff B, this time featuring a known model, Margaret Warhurst. This one took some restoration as it was very red and under exposed, but it has come up great and shows a great shot of Margaret posing in the studio with a sheer red sheet covering her modesty.

This has to be one of my favourite shots of Diane Clare and comes from a scan of an original Pamar slide that I acquired from Jim B over on eBay, who also runs Nostalgia Publications. The quality of the scan and colours from this slide for it’s age are fantastic. Diane looks superbly sultry with those red lips and skin tones as she lays back on that bed posing for GHM on the loft set. I also published a very similar shot of Pamela Green on the same bed and set here, with another coming soon that was recently sent over by Kevin.
Members get to see a much lager version of this glorious shot of Diane in all her glory :)

Two shots of Maxine Ellis from Fiesta magazine (Nov 1956) posing with a multicoloured crochet blanket, used in various ways to cover her modesty for some reason. Taken by Harrison Marks these typical shots for Fiesta at that time, before moving to the slightly more risqué topless views.
A two page advert from a photographic magazine in 1959 (title unknown) offering the delightful services of a young June Palmer. I do like a bit of memorabilia of June and there were a couple of lines that made me chuckle in this advert, ‘A Very Good Model Indeed’ is very understated and I love the old style telephone number that uses words and numbers. I also like the fee per hour of £1 10 6, which works out in today’s prices as about £85 an hour. For an hour photographing June cheap at half the price and worth every penny. I know others have photographed June at various times throughout her career including John, so I’m curious what did they pay for the privilege of shooting June?
A restored 1950s silver gelatin photograph that on a first look I thought it was young Marie Deveraux, but after looking at it for longer I’m not sure. The facial features a very similar, but the boobs look different from all the shots I have of Marie, but we know how the body develops and changes as you mature, so it could be her? I know it is an early Harrison Marks photo, so is it her or just a good resemblance?
