Pamela Green - Early Life

Early Life

Born Phyllis Pamela Green in Kingston upon Thames, Surrey, England on 28 March 1929, Green started figure modelling to pay for her art school studies and moved on to photographic modelling because it paid more. Early in her career, while still at art college, Pamela Green was photographed by Bill Brandt, Zoltán Glass and Angus McBean.

In 1954 Pamela started to supply the bookshops and newsagents of London's Soho with her own postcard sets of glamour photographs, to supplement her work as a photographer's model. In 1955 Luxor Press published a pictorial monograph on Pamela featuring the photographs of George Harrison Marks, entitled Pamela.
