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 nude kneeling view of Thelma from Kamera No.11 P23 (1958). Taken in what appears to be in the living room with the floral wallpaper background, but is actually a studio set! I’ve still got very little information on this exotic looking beauty and her Latino looks, unless anyone else has uncovered anything?
The stunning late 1960s US model Cindy Barnett, who also modelled under the names Millie MacKinzie and Beverly Woods and was photographed by Larry Caye. She appeared in many of the popular US men’s magazines such as Swank, Knight and Adam, as well as Fiesta in the UK. Love the tilt of the head in this shot and a great overall pose and view of her body. Thanks to Kevin for sending over a copy of this original negative. :)
Brenda Graham from an original medium format negative posing naked in an armchair. Looking good in nothing more than a smile and with a very classical 1960s blonde hairstyle. She looks perfectly at home sitting in that armchair like that!
Variety is the spice of life they say and this is a different side of the 1960s. A semi kinky/fetish shot of UK model Shelia Sexton posing on the stairs in PVC boots, studded collar and cuffs. Taken in 1969 it’s part of a large collection of contact sheets featuring fetish/bondage and domination, some featuring well known models back then.
This comes from a set of Shelia posing in and out of this outfit, including PVC mask and ball gag! A stunning model with a fabulous figure highlighted by the black PVC boots and outfit. :)
A double delight in this shot, as not only is it a stunning shot of Dawn Grayson, but also one taken by Leslie Bainbridge! Another very open view of Dawn by Bainbridge as well, this time in a familiar living room setting with the sheepskin rug! A perfect view!
The vastly underrated and under used Audrey Judson (Kim Courtney) from an original 35 mm negative.
Audrey was photographed by Harrison Marks on the set of The Naked World in 1965 and seven of the photos appeared in Kamera No.69 & No.70. Another two were published, one in Femme No.9 and the other in Kamera Special No.5 and an uncensored shot in Nouvelle Serie De Revue No.65. Audrey also played a part as a flapper in the 1920s gangster sequence of the feature film, ‘The Naked World of Harrison Marks’ (1966).
Another model that reinvented herself several times throughout her career was Annette Johnson. This shot from a restored 35 mm negative shows her from the late 1960s with shorter, darker hair than the platinum blonde look from her early career. Her figure also seems to be filling out now and that bosom expanding from a beautiful set of her posing next to a drinks bar in someone’s home.
One of the few images I have of Carol Hamilton, as she seems to have been used very rarely by Harrison Marks. I believe she appeared in the glamour film ‘The Naked World of Harrison Marks in one of the Dungeon scenes. She also appeared as Nefertiti in the Egyptian sequence in the ‘Nine Ages of Nakedness’ released in 1969.
A stunning view of Maria Frost posing outside the cottage door at Ewhurst Manor in 1969, wearing nothing more than a pair of sunglasses! Taken by Harrison Marks I have very few shots of Maria from this set and the only shot I’ve seen published is a fuller shot to this published in New Kamera No.1 (1969).
A fantastic bit of memorabilia! It’s the November page of the 1983 calendar from Duplex Communications and features a fabulous shot of a mature June Palmer basking naked in the sun on the sea edge. I don’t know if this was actually taken in 83 or earlier, but it’s definitely a more mature June with fuller figure.
I remember seeing this type of calendar in workshops and garages back in the day, before it became sexist and started causing offence! They seemed to be everywhere, and can remember there being several up around the garage workshop where my dad worked, plus a huge pile of discarded ones in the corner. Just imagine what those calendars would go for now, especially the good ones like Pirelli, Snap-on Tools and Dunlop. Oh, for a time machine so I could go back and collect up all those discarded ones in a box to keep for now. :)
