About the Author
David Hamilton was born in London, England on April 15, 1933. During World War II, he was evacuated to Dorset, but returned to London for school. Afterward, he worked for an architect. Later, he was a graphic designer for Elle magazine in Paris, an art director of Queen magazine, and an art show more director for the Printemps department store. He was a photographer whose images of prepubescent girls blurred the line between art and pornography. He directed five erotic movies that largely centered on blossoming sexuality in flower-crowned girls including Bilitis in 1977. His work appeared in more than two dozen books. He was recently accused of raping underaged models during his career. He committed suicide on November 25, 2016 at the age of 83. (Bowker Author Biography) show less

Reviews
So this is a book of gauzy erotic photographs of two very attractive long-haired young women somewhere in the country, seemingly engaged in an innocent relationship--sleeping, bathing, reading, bicycling. One or the other of the young women is often partially or completely nude. Since Robbe-Grillet provided the text, and since the photographs are by a man, the book is imbued with an uncomfortable voyeuristic feel. The male gaze permeates these staged photographs.
Large collection of Hamilton's photography, including still life, landscapes and other scenic images as well as his famous girl studies. A good introduction and overview, and a definitive volume.
Photographs of dancers, some of which have been previously published (there are several images from [b:Bilitis|83067|Bilitis|David Hamilton|/assets/nocover/60x80.png|80206]). Comes with four CDs of classical music as accompaniment.
