Vintage 1980 nude photos from a time when hair was big and all there was to capture an image was film.

The cameras were big as well. The header images were taken on a Mamiya RB 67, try picking one of those up and shoving it in your pocket. (Want to know a bit more about the RB67?) Even 35mm cameras were a fairly chunky piece of kit and all there was to capture the image was film. (If you wanted to make a phone call you had to find a big red box and have some change handy)

Mary worked in a local factory and came to my studio as an amateur model at her husband’s suggestion.
