Have you ever woken up one day, and wondered where all the sun, warmth and possible of your childhood have gone? While you’re sipping your morning coffee, full of melancholy and perhaps dejection, you are pondering about our society, seemingly driven by nihilism, isolation and a growing pleasure in destruction. And you’re wondering: how did it happen? How did you lose the innocence, the dreams and the magic you could swear were true when you were a child? You’re asking yourself how all adults could have lost sight of the beauty and positive strength inside of them, and now either turning their back on nature, or, even worst, trying to destroy it, in order to fuel their everlasting anger against their own void. You’re sad, and you’re bitter too. But, there is still a dab

David Hamilton (1933 – 2016) was a British photographer, who grew up in London. His schooling was interrupted by World War II. As an evacuee, he spent some time in the countryside of Dorset, which inspired his work. After the war, Hamilton returned to London and finished school before moving to France where he has lived ever since. His artistic skills began to emerge during a job at an architect's office. At age 20, he moved to Paris, where he worked as graphic designer for Peter Knapp of ELLE magazine. After becoming known and successful, he was hired away from ELLE by Queen magazine in London as art director. Hamilton soon returned to Paris and there became the art director of Printemps, the city's largest department store. Hamilton began photographing commercially while still employed, and the dreamy, grainy style of his images quickly brought him success. His photographs were in demand by other magazines such as Realites, Twen and Photo. By the end of the 1960s, Hamilton's work had a recognizable style. His further success included many dozens of photographic books with combined sales well into the millions, five feature films, countless magazine publishings and scores of museum and gallery exhibitions. As much of Hamilton's work depicts early-teen girls, often nude, he has been the subject of some controversy and even child pornography allegations. Hamilton's photographs have long been at the forefront of the "is it art or pornography?" debate.
