Turners, Ltd. was a prominent camera supply chain and video production company in Newcastle-upon-Tyne, England and other towns in the area. The firm often hired models for shoots to promote their products and work, to use in advertising campaigns and to entice customers. These photos, from the collection of the Tyne and Wear Archives and Museums, range from titillating and scandalous to bizarre and inexplicable.
