Margaret Nolan – Lenz No.3

Two images of Margaret Nolan from Lenz No.3 published by Harrison Marks, with the whole magazine dedicated to the photography of Ken Williams. I published a couple of other images from this shoot of Margaret and always wondered who took the shots, so now I know!

Dawn Grayson – The Magic in a Face

I originally published a version of this image under the title ‘Shattered Glass’ in June 2013 when I came across the image of Dawn and it was instantly a favourite. Well now I’ve found where it came from and have an original copy, as above. It was originally published in ‘Ed Alexander Photographs English Beauties’ on page 84, where he describes expressions of the face can change the mood of a photograph.

Incidentally I prefer this version to the first I found, as it looks better in black and white and Dawn looks good with a beauty spot!

Wendy Luton – Not Your Average Household Pose!

Wendy Luton looking very inviting laying there on the rug in front of the fire. Taken from the pages of ‘Ed Alexander Photographs English Beauties’. This was used as an example of how a shot of a nude beauty can be enhanced by placing her in a normal household setting rather than a studio. To be honest with that figure you could put Wendy Luton in any location and she’d still catch my attention!

The Gypsy Girl

Princess Sonmar H’Arricks (Pamela Green) posing on the ‘Gypsy Set’ from the pages of Kamera No.40 (1962). I haven’t published a PSH image for a while, so about time I did and I love this shot. Covering your body from head to foot with black boot polish must have been a nightmare, but as with everything Pamela put her hand to it was done very well. It must have been a bugger to scrub off afterwards, but I’m sure she would have got plenty of offers of help :)

Pamela Green – Kamera No.38 Cover

One of my favourite Kamera covers and models in the form of the glorious Pamela Green posing for a still on the set of the 1960 glamour film ‘ Xcitement’. I have a full set of covers for Kamera, but I’m slowly replacing them with larger, better quality shots like this as I acquire the magazines and do a scan myself.

Caron Gardiner

Another GHM model that appeared on her own in Solo No.17, but also appeared in  Kamera No.22, No.28, No.33, No.39, No.42, No.43 and No.58. She also appeared in the glamour films ‘Model Mix-Up’ and ‘Nautical Nudes’ with Paula Page. She also modelled for other photographers of the time including Russell Gay.

Jackie Salt in the Dunes!

Continuing the theme of hair apparel we have Jackie Salt on the beach from the pages of Kamera No.41 (1962). Not a bow this time, but some form of elastic headband to help keep her long hair out of her pretty face.

Margaret Nolan – Paris Et De Hollywood

Margaret Nolan from the centre pages of Follies De Paris Et De Hollywood Magazine (1960’s). A great photo, but I’m not a great fan of the way all there images had the orange and blue tinting to them as I’d rather see natural colours.  Still a great shot of Ms Nolan though!
