4.0 out of 5 stars Interesting Collection of his Work, April 10 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: David Hamilton: Twenty Five Years of an Artist (Hardcover)

The book has photos spanning David Hamilton's career as well as a bit of an auto-biographical essay of his life and how he got into photographing beautiful young models.

The pictures include nude models as well as subjects like flowers, landscapes, and personal photos.

My complaints about the book is that the pictures are usually too small to be appreciated and the quality of the post-production is not top class. Though there are many nice photos, it does not justify the work of the photographer.

Nonetheless Hamilton's books are hard to find and always go out of print. Overall, it is worth buying.

5.0 out of 5 stars BEAUTIFUL!!!, Feb 12 2003

By

Photopro "Mike" (purcellville, va United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: David Hamilton: Twenty Five Years of an Artist (Hardcover)

This book is a masterpiece! Everything about it is just plain beautiful. I can't believe that Hamilton ever had problems with these incredible pictures that he has taken. And that takes us back to what is art? and what is pornography? It seems that in this country, people tend to believe that if a girl is under the age of 18 and nude, it is pornography. Hamilton has proved them wrong. If it is legal for familys, which do in a lot of cases include young girls and teenage girls, to go to nudist colonies or be naturists, where they are nude three fourths of the time, why is it not right for someone to capture this beautiful lifestyle on film?

The female body, at any age is a very beautiful thing, and not many people will let themselves admit this. I find it especially beautiful when the girls are at the brink of womanhood, and there bodies are changing. Why is it so hard to find this stunning for people???

You will find portraits of everything in this book, from swimming, to sleeping, to just plain stand up posing for the camera. Also, this book includes other works of Hamilton. Works like nature etc.

In one word, this book is Beautiful, and so is Hamilton, for doing something that very few people can do. That is to realize that there is natural beauty in everyone, and he photographed it.

This review is from: David Hamilton: Twenty Five Years of an Artist (Hardcover)

I really didn`t think the photographs in this book were all that good. Some fine but oh so many poor. Many seem taken through a dirty glass so are blurred. Certainly a lot of photographs but it would have been better to have narrowed down by over half
