Beautiful Nude From Photographic Rhythm No.1

But who is she?  This one is driving me mad (easily done!) as I know the face and body, but the name escapes me, so can someone name her please?  She appears throughout ‘Photographic Rhythm’ magazine No.1 by Lawrence Venn (late 1950’s) and a stunning beauty, just need a name?

An Early Blonde Pamela Green

A very early blonde Pamela Green taken by Harrison Marks from the 1950’s. Looking at the second smaller shot I would say this was probably a blonde wig rather than the dyed blonde hair she became so familiar with later in her career.

June Simpson by Lawrence Venn

The distinguishable June Simpson posing on leopard skin rug for Lawrence Venn. This was taken from the pages of Photographic Rhythm No.1 (1950’s) by Lawrence Venn and featured models such as Eve Eden and others that I recognise but can’t name yet.

The magazine itself is a 34 page medium format (9 x 7 inches) publication featuring full page black and white nudes, with a back page of photographic technical data to make it all seem legit.

Note: This image may look edited as though it’s be cut out and pasted onto the background, this wasn’t done by me (I’m not that clever!) but part of the original publication!

Rita Landre – Beach Babe! (Original)

An original of Pamela Green in an early shot of her as Rita Landre taken in 1954 by Harrison Marks. The red wig was purchased from wig creations and taken on location to St. Mary’s on the Scilly Isles in September of 1954. Pam wore the wig for the first time on the isles, which then later became synonymous with her Rita alter ego!

Pam & Marie Shell Collecting!

Marie Deveraux and Pamela Green, both wearing wigs examining a shell on a beach.  Taken by Harrison Marks and probably taken on location on the Scilly Isles around May 1957.  

The intriguing thing is that Marie was a brunette wearing a blonde wig and Pam was a blonde wearing a brunette wig for this shot!  Although Pam may not have gone to the familiar blonde hair we know her for, it was still a long dark wig.  As always a beautifully posed shot with knees and thighs just in the right position for decency.

Beach Beauty Pamela Green

An early Pamela Green shot by Harrison Marks from a silver gelatin photograph of her posing on some rocks naked. A stunning shot of Pam with her short dark hair and one that was probably taken in the late 1950’s and similar to the shots of her on the cover of ‘In Focus’ and some of the mid 1950’s Sun Bathing Review magazines.  Either way stunning and more to come ….
