Photography Appreciation
Born on April 15, 1933, David Hamilton was a British photographer best known for the dreamy, gentleness, and grainy style of photography of young women.
Before becoming a photographer, Hamilton was a graphic designer for Elle magazine, an art director for Queen magazine, and an art director for the French department store, Printemps.
In an interview, regarding his photography, he explains his work as "Nudity and purity, sensuality and innocence, grace and spontaneity – we made contradictions of them. I try to harmonize them, and that’s my secret, and the reason for my success." Yet, similar to Sally Mann, a lot of his images stirred controversy.
In October 2016, Flavie Flament, a former model for Hamilton, alleged sexual assault by the photographer when she was 13 years old. A few weeks later, three other former models claimed to have been raped by Hamilton.
On November 25, 2016, David Hamilton was found dead at his Paris apartment. Suicide was the determine cause of his death.
