Biography

One of the most renowned and iconic British photographers and film directors of all time, renowned for his captivating and provocative depictions of youthful femininity, particularly in his photographs of young women and teenage girls. His distinctive visual aesthetic, aptly dubbed the "Hamilton Blur", was a hallmark of his work, characterized by a deliberate soft-focus effect achieved through the ingenious use of Vaseline smeared onto the lens of his camera, thereby imbuing his images with a dreamy, ethereal quality that has become synonymous with his artistic vision.
