Clacton, Essex.
M/S of a group of amateur photographers and Redcoats with cameras at a holiday camp; the Official Photographer removes the lens cover from one man’s camera. Commentator says the Camp Photographers advise holidaymakers on the best way to take their own personal photos.
M/S of their subject: a buxom blonde girl with highly back-combed hair, wearing a white swimsuit and holding an inflatable beach ball above her head. The Official Photographer adjusts her pose and holds a light meter next to her. One of the photographers is brought forward to take a photo.
M/S, as the Official Photographer, adjusts the pose of another girl in shorts and a top; three of the men crouch down to photograph her.
M/S as two girls, one in a swimsuit, one in a bikini, pose beside a swimming pool; another Official Photographer adjusts their poses (they like doing this, don’t they?!) and holds a light meter beside them. M/S of a crowd of men and women with cameras; some receive instruction from the Officials. They snap away at the posing girls.
Note: the name of the holiday camp is not mentioned, but I assume it is Butlins / Butlin’s.
