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
Another original shot of June Palmer by Stefan Glass, this time taken in the studio as she sits and forms a very classical model pose. Elegance personified in the female form, shame about the creased photographic background!
Harrison Marks did three photo shoots with Rusty and published 37 photographs of her across Kamera No.50 (1962), No.51, No.53 and, 55 including the above front cover and eleven other pages. Shots of her also appeared in No’s 59, 63 & 74 and the large format hardback book ‘She Walks in Beauty’.
Rusty was originally a stripper from Soho and her full story ‘Rusty Gaynor: The Vice Queen’ can be found over on the Official Pamela Green site.
A great low shot of June laying on the front lawn of Ewhurst Manor among the daisies from John. I can’t tell if her slip is covering her boobs or pulled down, but she’s going to have terrible grass marks on those tits if down :) The second shot from the ‘Ewhurst Escapades‘ set as June can be seen with the same earrings and long hair as the other published shot.

Two more shots of an older June posing at her home with Arthur Howell in 1987 and taken by Itsgardin. The rest of these shots that I’ve published so far can be found here, but these two are great semi candid shots with the last one showing June enjoying a tipple of white wine. The glass looks empty to me, so she either downed it or it wasn’t full when the shot was taken.
Thanks to Itsgardin for these two great shots.
I found another shot of Jackie Parker in Kamera, this time in Kamera No.55 (1963), but from the same shoot as the others that appear in Kamera No.40. A familiar background used for other shoots such as Pamela Green, but great to see Jackie showing off her great assets (and pigtails) in Kamera.
A great shot of Caroline Coon from the 1970’s that appeared in Fiesta and was taken by Terry Sparks, which also had an accompanying little story from Terry about Caroline and her friend, which will make the above title a little clearer. Story from Terry below:
Also enclosed is one of my shots of Caroline Coon scanned from a page in Fiesta. I worked with her several times and I got to know her quite well and one day she brought her flatmate in to see me, an American girl called Marsha Hunt. Marsha was desperate for money and so I did a stills session with her and also an 8mm Glamour film shot at Ewhurst. She was very difficult to work with, full of her own importance and not really wanting to be photographed but needed the cash. A few weeks later she landed a part in the original London stage production of Hair and then later she met Mick Jagger and they had a child called Karis. I knew Mick Jagger vaguely as we both attended the same Grammar School, although he was a few years behind me. As far as I know, none of my pics of Marsha were ever published, I have a suspicion she may have done a deal with Russell Gay after landing her part in Hair, but I am only guessing.
I just love these little stories that come from Terry with his pictures as they give us a snapshot of things back then. Terry calls them bits of useless information, but I disagree :)
The May page of the 1969 Kamera Calendar features an attractive unknown model posing in fetching yellow slacks on a chair in what might be GHM’s flat. I don’t know who this model is, but also have a cracking original shot of her from Kevin to post shortly. In the meantime anyone know who she is?
And June Simpson is definitely the fairest of them all! A perfectly framed original from Kevin of June Simpson by Harrison Marks posing in front of a mirror in his Gerrard Street flat from the late 1950’s. You see a great profile of her body and exposed tits in the main shot and a clear shot of her face in the mirror reflection. A cleaver but stunning shot and Thanks to Kevin for sending it over.
Another original shot of a younger June, this time in a pose as she lies on the floor in a red open top. The quality of this original 35mm negative in a plain mount from Kevin wasn’t the best I’ve seen and very faded and rough around the edges, but hopefully restored enough for everyone to enjoy.

A restored image from an originally scanned negative sent by Kevin of the perfect artist model in the shape and form of Maria Clarence. Great hips, just not sure about the abstract art on the easel!
