A very colourful rear view shot of Lee Southern posing in fishnet tights and long black gloves. This is a 35mm colour slide from a set of 6 very clear slides that needed little editing or restoration. The red background really highlights Lee’s figure and her dark hair and red lipstick all enhance the shot. Nice bum too!
A beautiful posed shot of Maria Edge by Terry Sparks in 1972. I love the way she is sat on that stool legs wide apart with her hands crossed in front of her. The fact she is wearing just fishnet stockings and a necklace and looking away from the camera all adds to the composition of the shot.
Another great original shot of Delphine Caron showing off her tan lines for the camera. From my growing collection of models and original contact sheets from Howard Roark.
A great shot of her kneeling on the edge of the bed with a pair of panties hiding her modesty. Not that they stay there for long 😉
An artistic pose from Wendy Luton showing off the fabulous lines and form of her figure. Taken in the studio by Harrison Marks 🙂
Rosemary de Canonville giving us a great outdoor display of what she has to offer. Scanned from an original 10 by 8 print this shot was taken by Leslie Bainbridge and typical of his style.
It’s interesting to see the different styles and preferences of photographers back then. Roark obviously had a preference for the younger natural sun tanned models. Bainbridge opted for the fully shaven view leaving little to the imagination, but again with it’s own merits. I like both styles for different reasons, but still tend to go back to Harrison Marks and his more generic style of glamour photography. GHM tended to focus more on the shape and form of the models pose along with lighting than what the model had on offer.
Again we all enjoy differing styles, which is why I try and offer a bit of everything and as the years progressed so did glamour photography, either for the better or sometimes the worse 🙂
