Is David Hamilton the worst 'pro' snapper of all time?

[dogbone]

Let's pick on someone who *really* deserves it.

I know there are worse photographers but they don't make me queasy, so my vote goes to David and his 'erotic' soft focus chiffon clad Liberty print flowing haired angels.

Nothing like a Royal Passport, to smooth the splinters as you slide down the balustrade of life. Although Snowden *is* the genuine article.

Hamilton was good at what he did... though what he did would be dismissed today - with good reason - as veering a little too close to under-age porn. His use of young girls is questionable, but it's the achingly pretentious text in his books that makes me gag.

No doubt he used his connections for all they were worth.

You read his books?

never seen his stuff before.

Seems pretty bad. Partly because of the content and partly because I don't like soft focus on EVERYTHING.

The occasional Orton effect is interesting, but not for EVERYTHING

These pictures were taken by David while his girls [my emphasis] were relaxing on holiday with him, sometimes unaware his camera is never "off duty" [their quote marks]

I'm busting a gut here. It's Hugh Hefner on acid.

300 Private Edition copies were printed in English as David's personal stock...

What does he use them for, propping his speakers up?

...although most of them have been sold David still has a very small number [300?] for sale exclusively to members of David Hamiton Net...

...and do not contain the printed restrictions that limit the sale to German speaking countries

WTF?

David also has some first edition copies from 1995...available at ordinary outlets...

WHSmith and Boots.

Could be considered NSFW, hence no pictures.
