As a website that tries to bring memories of a past time when glamour and photography had another meaning, I must say I was fortunate to find a thread in the “Vintage Erotica Forums” about one of the many clubs in and around London that used the facilities at the Jason Studios in London, W.1. in the 50s and 60s: The North Finchley Camera Club.

The images from his members had been published in many glamour magazines of that time. They hosted activities with many of the best models, such as Teri Martine, Annette Johnson, Nancy Roberts, Maria Frost and many more. Models who also used to work with well-known photographers such as Harrison Marks.

The original thread was created by the son of one of the club’s founder members when he found some photos in the darkroom in his father’s loft.

He shared fantastic photos in VEF, full of histories (and no Photoshop). It was also interesting to see how other members of VEF collaborated and added more images and information about the club’s photo sessions.

I contacted Guy, who authorised me to create this series of posts using the original images and comments.

Through these posts, I hope you can feel what was being part of that beautiful era of glamour photography in the UK.
