June Palmer

June Palmer (1 August 1940 in London, England – 6 January 2004), also known as "June Power", was, along with Pamela Green the most famous Harrison Marks model of the 1960s, featured in his publications Kamera and Solo and in his short films featuring nudity. She had measurements of 38–23–37.

June Palmer began work as a topless dancer at the Windmill Theatre in London, appeared in 8mm glamour films made by Harrison Marks (Flesh and Fantasie; Nightmare at Elm Manor; Photo Session; Star Strip; Dream Goddess; China Garden and The Naked World of June Palmer), Russell Gay (So Fur, So Good; Beauty and the Barn), Express Films (Body Beautiful) and Arthur Howell (June in Orbit; Calamity June; Castaway; Mission Possible and Special Agent) and graduated to minor parts in movies, including Taste the Blood of Dracula (1969), The Nine Ages of Nakedness (1969), Games That Lovers Play (1971) and On the Game (1974). Although she stopped modeling for magazines in the late 1960s, she continued to do some private modeling for London's various camera clubs until the early 1980s.

Photographer Irv Carsten said this about Palmer in the March 1962 issue of Modern Man, "I felt ashamed using an automatic camera. Her posing is second nature, she's beautiful from any angle, and without camera settings to make, there's nothing to do but watch."

In 1963, when she was 23 years old, June Palmer married the then 53-year-old photographer/stuntman Arthur Howell. In the 1960s they had started and run Strobe Studios in Clapham, South London, an LCC licensed model agency and photographic studio, which advertised in many of the photographic magazines such as Practical Photography. Strobe rented out their studio space to amateur and professional photographers, and provided them with the glamour models who were on Strobe’s books as photographic subjects. Mary Millington (at that time using her married name Mary Maxted), Carole Augustine and Ava Cadell all worked as models for Strobe Studios in the early 1970s. Palmer divorced Howell in 2000 (he died in August 2003).
