Adult Film Producer, Actor, Photographer. His box office hit "Naked as Nature Intended" (1961) propelled him to a much wider audience. He first got involved in glamour photography in 1953 after he met, and started a relationship with model, Pamela Green. He was 27, she was 22 and together they were to transform the British glamour scene and gain world-wide recognition. They started by producing sets of postcard-size, black and white photographic prints that sold in book shops and newsagents in the Soho area of London where they had established their home and business together. These tastefully posed nudes, mostly photographed in their Gerrard Street studio and flat, quickly became popular and the business expanded. They formed a publishing company and in 1957 launched Kamera, a 36 page monthly, in pocket-book format, containing 32 pages of nude portraits. His film success included the likes of "The Naked World of Harrison Marks"(1965) and " Just Desserts"(1991) Amongst the many models to have worked on his productions was the actress Margaret Nolan. Following his cremation at Golders Green his ashes were (unofficially)scattered inside London's St.Pauls Cathedral.
