Born on the 4th August 1940 in Bromley, Kent little did her parents know the impact that in later years she was to make on the male population, both at home and abroad. With June Palmer’s fabulous figure, hair and face, she was the stuff boys and men dreamt of. During the 1960’s June Palmer’s pin-up poses adorned many a wall, locker door, or workshop coffee room table in one of the many magazines she appeared in.

Although June Palmer was often associated with George Harrison Marks, there was another partnership less well known. That of June Palmer and Arthur Howell, the man who both discovered and later married her. Although they were together for about ten years, they ran Strobe Studios above a Photo Mart shop in Clapham, London from the 1950’s until the late 1980’s.  June used to take a great interest in the photo’s taken of her at strobe and not only posed herself many times, but also had a string of well known models on the books at Strobe.  These models are said to have included Mary Maxted (Millington) and Ava Cadell during the 1970’s.

June stopped professionally modelling for magazines in 1970 at the age of 30 (apart from a brief return in 1976). By this time she had become a successful model agent and was running Strobe Studios with Arthur, but she continued to do private modelling from Strobe and ScottLee studios for London’s various camera clubs until the early 1980’s. She also continued to do private work up until late 1987, but shortly after that gave up modelling completely when she married her second husband David Milan.  June died suddenly on 6th January 2004 after a short illness, but left behind a modelling legacy that still endures today and sees images of her throughout her career as popular as ever. Her marathon career was motivated in no small measure by personal satisfaction. Anyone who photographed her will testify to her professionalism and dedication, and to the fact that June loved doing nude work.
