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

Virginia Green from Solo No.15 P10 (1960) giving us a shot of her rear view! What a fabulous round and peachy arse she has in this shot as she leans forward over the dressing table. We also get a two for one in this shot, as we get to see a front view of Virginia as well :)
Another shot from the collection of original Philip Gotlop prints sent over by Paul from Firebird Records, but this time the model is recognizable, especially if you follow this site. The model so beautifully highlighted by the light and shadows is non-other than Sylvana Manto (Madelaine Bannister). A stunning shot of her by Philip, and I do wonder why his early glamour work has gone mostly unnoticed or avoided rather than his more popular work? Maybe as he became more popular, he didn’t want to be associated with this side of his photography, but we all have to start somewhere!

Another visually stunning shot of the seductive Julie (Shearing) from Solo No.4 (1958) by Harrison Marks. There is something about the make-up and highlights in the hair that give her a Cruella de Vil sort of look :)
I’ve seen this shot and others from the same set of 35mm colour slides a few times before, but they were always very bad quality and didn’t seem to stand the test of time very well. That was until I got sent several of Helena McGuire and another model posing on a very 1960’s sun lounger exposing her body and magnificent bush to the sun, despite the fact it’s in a studio!
June Palmer on the cover of Connoisseurs Choice and Modelling Review Vol.5 No.8 in a nice pair of striped panties! Unsure of the date, but likely to be mid 1960s at a guess?

I couldn’t resist this shot of Carol Perry sent over by member Whyriley, who used to run a photographic studio back in the 1960’s and 70’s. Carol was one of his models, but unsure if she was professional or amateur, but very photogenic and this shot of the two little toys balancing on her nice round boob is very cheeky! Thanks to Whyriley for sharing some of his work with me here :)
An original print of Ann Austin, apparently asleep in bed, but with the sheet down to give us a flash of one of her magnificent boobs! There is something quite voyeuristic about this shot and seeing Ann’s boob as she sleeps, which I assume was the point of the shot. I have several other shots from this set and the whole premise of the set is Ann sleeping nude between those silk sheets, slowly waking up and getting out of bed to reveal more of her glorious body in different poses. :)
Bobby Shaw (Laurie Sands aka Julie Desmond) posing for Harrison Marks kneeling on a sheepskin rug in front of that bizarre background. Every time I see it, I’m reminded of the yellow brick road for some reason! Fabulous shot of Bobby showing off her lush bush, and from the same set as this shot. Thanks as always to Kevin for this shot of Bobby from an original negative. :)

Maxine (Elaine Ecke) showing off her assets to maximum effect through an open top from Kamera Special No.4 (1964). Taken on the loft set by GHM and probably a lot earlier than the publish date of this special, but still a magnificent view.

Thanks to Paul from Firebird London I have a growing collection of nude studies by Philip Gotlop. British photographer Philip Gotlop started writing photography manuals in the 1940’s and 50’s. His titles included professional manuals, practical guides and studies on nude photography and the female figure. But it his work later in his career he is probably more well known for, as in the 1960’s his lens was more often pointed at the era’s entertainers, such as The Beatles, Cilla Black, Cliff Richard, Neil Sedaka, Johnny Cash, The Moody Blues, The Kinks, David Essex, Liberace and TV personalities such as David Frost and many others.
This collection is of over 250 prints of Gotlop’s nude studies and vary in size from 8½”x 6½” up to 10″x 8″ or larger. Many of the models are unknown, but all are shot in very classical nude poses, with the odd unconventional shot! I thought i’d share a few here to as they are very classical and see if people enjoy them?
