I suppose it was inevitable wasn't it?I mention finding a load of photography magazines from the 1980s and then get emails wanting to see photos of all the glamourous models...
Well, in answer to the somewhat accusatory missive that came in amongst them, yes I was only 15 when I started to buy Practical Photography, but whilst I certainly didn't skip past photos of topless models, throwing my hands up in disgust, I do have to point out that the photos of the 60s and 70s were a bit more tame than you would find in lads' mags of today!
Even in the 1980s they were hardly what you'd call porno! Cheesecloth was used quite a lot to great effect and there were a few shots along those lines in the mags I came across so I've included a couple here in answer to most of the emails, which were of the begging sort...
Remember not to look when your Gran is in the room.

ReplyDeleteHi Richard,
ReplyDeleteI kept very few I'm afraid. I just used to to tear out the articles I was interested in and put them in a scrapbook and most of those are gone now.
