Another rare shot from The Pamela Green Nude Posing Guide No.4 published in 1973 by Pam with photo’s taken by Douglas Webb. The guide is 4 pages including the cover and features Pamela in 48 different poses across 3 pages in a contact sheet style, with each image having a number (The image above was No.383) This shot uses the black background and lighting from the left highlighting Pam’s naked body in the shadows. Perfect!
These posing guides were the subjects of small adverts in Amateur Photographer in the early 70’s. As a teen I remember the inviting small picture of Pamela (with public hair showing in the ad!) and one little suspected that over 40 years on they would re-appear. The version here today is probably far superior to that which one would have received through the post.
The one photographer whose nude works featured regularly in the magazine around that time who I can remember was Michael Barrington-Martin.
Thanks Bluenosejohn and I’ve had to edit them a little bit, but they did come up rather well 🙂 I recognise the name Michael Barrington-Martin but don’t know why? I will have to go look through my archives as I’m sure I have some of his work!
Yep, here you go a photo of June Palmer and a cover of Practical Photography with Margaret Nolan on, both by Michael! https://thekameraclub.co.uk/?s=Barrington
There is very little about him on the net. Some interesting comments about (alleged!) extracurricular activity with his models are here

Classic old school light, the sign of a superb photographer. I wish that I could achieve this sort of lighting on a glamour shoot!
A superb study of the mature ” P G ” Forever “The Most Beautiful Woman in The World “
