A fresh perspective
If you've ever looked at pictures from the Victorian era then you've probably noticed that nobody is smiling. Everybody looks so serious that it seems as if people in the 1800s simply didn't know how to have fun. But as these pictures prove, that wasn't always the case.

A new exhibition at The Getty in Los Angeles captures the magic of the photographer’s artistic work.
With the Edwardian era, which lasted from 1900 to 1912, came many life improvements that we still use today, such as electricity, cars, and vacuum cleaners. Still, it has also given us a fair share of bizarre facts, most of them concerning women.

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.

Let's take a look at the Greek photographer Nelly who reimagined the beauty of Ancient Greek legacy with modern subjects in her art.
Someone spent a lot of time getting this little girl ready for her close-up.
I first came across this photograph in a history of 19th century costume. It’s been widely published in print and online so you may well be familiar with it. The author in that book said that the w…
