'''David Hamilton''' (15 April 1933 – 25 November 2016) was a British photographer and film director best known for his photography of young women and girls, mostly [[nude photography|nude]].<ref name="HamiltonBBC" /> Hamilton's images became part of an "Art or pornography?" debate.

==Early life==
Hamilton was born in 1933 and grew up in London. His schooling was interrupted by [[World War II]]. As an [[Evacuations of civilians in Britain during World War II|evacuee]], he spent some time in the countryside of [[Dorset]], which inspired some of his work.<ref name="R2"/> After the war, Hamilton returned to London and finished his schooling.

==Career and later life==
[[File:David Hamilton, photographer.JPG|thumb|Hamilton in 2012]]

His artistic skills began to emerge during a job at an architect's office. At age 20, he went to Paris, where he worked as a [[graphic designer]] for [[Peter Knapp (photographer)|Peter Knapp]] of ''[[Elle (magazine)|Elle]]'' magazine. After becoming known and successful, he was hired away from ''Elle'' by ''[[Queen (magazine)|Queen]]'' magazine in London as an art director. Hamilton soon realised his love for Paris, and after returning there, became the art director of [[Printemps]], the city's largest department store.<ref name="HamiltonGuardian" /> While Hamilton was still employed at Printemps, he began doing commercial photography, and the dreamy, grainy style of his images quickly brought him success.<ref name="HamiltonTF"/>
 
His photographs were in demand by other magazines such as ''[[Réalités]]'', ''[[Twen]]'' and ''[[Photo (French magazine)|Photo]]''. By the end of the 1960s, all of Hamilton's photographs appeared to have been snapped through a hazy mist. His further successes included dozens of photographic books with combined sales well into the millions, five feature films, countless magazine displays, and museum and gallery exhibitions. His work was exhibited in every one of the first three years of [[The Photographers' Gallery]], London, but was roundly condemned by photojournalist [[Euan Duff]] for its "cliched pictorial symbolism exploiting soft focus, pastel colours, country landscapes and old houses, old fashioned clothes, and even white doves to give a phoney impression of healthy food ad naturalness; they are a sort of wholemeal stoneground pornography," exhibited "because the gallery needs the money."<ref name="R3"/>

In December 1977, Images Gallery—a studio owned by Bob Persky<ref name="R4"/> at 11 East 57th Street in [[Manhattan]]—showed his photographs at the same time that ''[[Bilitis (film)|Bilitis]]''<ref name="R5"/> was released.<ref name="HamiltonTF" /> At that time, art critic Gene Thornton wrote in ''The New York Times'' that they reveal "the kind of ideal that regularly was expressed in the great paintings of the past". Hamilton has said that his work looks for "the candor of a lost paradise". In his book, ''Contemporary Photographers'', curator Christian Caujolle wrote that Hamilton worked only with two fixed devices: "a clear pictorial intention and a latent eroticism, ostensibly romantic but asking for trouble".<ref name="R6"/>
 
In 1995, Hamilton said that people "have made contradictions of nudity and purity, sensuality and innocence, grace and spontaneity. I try to harmonize them and that's my secret and the reason for my success".<ref name="HamiltonTF" /> Besides depicting young women and girls, Hamilton composed photographs of flowers, men, landscapes, farm animals, pigeons, and still lifes of fresh fruit. Several of his photographs look like oil paintings. Most of his work gives the impression of timelessness because of the absence of cars, modern buildings, and advertisement boards. In 1976, Denise Couttès explained Hamilton's phenomenal success on page 6 of ''The Best of David Hamilton''. His images, she wrote, "express escapism. People can only escape from the violence and cruelty of the modern world through dreams and nostalgia".<ref name="HamiltonTF" />
 
His [[soft focus]] style came back into fashion at ''Vogue'', ''Elle'', and other fashion magazines beginning around 2003. Hamilton had been in a relationship with Mona Kristensen (b. 1950),<ref name="HamiltonTF" />{{when|date=November 2016}}, a model in many of his early photobooks who made her screen debut in ''Bilitis''. Later he married Gertrude Versyp, who co-designed ''The Age of Innocence,''.<ref name="R7"/> They later divorced amicably. Hamilton divided his time between [[Saint-Tropez]] and Paris. He enjoyed a revival in popularity after 2005. In 2006, ''David Hamilton'', a collection of captioned photographs, and ''Erotic Tales'', which contains Hamilton's fictional short stories, were published.<ref name="HamiltonTF" /> At the time of his death, Hamilton had another book in the works, a monograph about [[Montenegro]]. He was working with Jelica Bujić, who was his first and last photography assistant.<ref name="RJB"/>

==Reception==
Much of Hamilton's work depicted early-teen girls, often nude, and he was the subject of controversy, including [[child pornography]] allegations, similar to those which the work of [[Sally Mann]] and [[Jock Sturges]] have attracted. For moral reasons several of Hamilton's books were banned in South Africa.<ref name="R8"/> In the late 1990s, conservative Christian groups in America unsuccessfully protested against bookstores selling Hamilton's photography books.<ref name="R9"/> As Chris Warmoll, writing for ''[[The Guardian]]'' in 2005, commented, "Hamilton's photographs have long been at the forefront of the 'Is it art or pornography?' debate."<ref name="Guardian"/>

In 2005, a man in the UK was convicted for being in possession of 19,000 images of children, including photos by Hamilton. The images were found to have the lowest indecency rating. In response, Glenn Holland, Hamilton's spokesman, said: "We are deeply saddened and disappointed by this, as David is one of the most successful art photographers the world has ever known. His books have sold millions".<ref name="Guardian"/> In 2010, a man was convicted of Level 1 child pornography for owning four books, including Hamilton's ''[[The Age of Innocence (Hamilton book)|The Age of Innocence]]'' as well as ''[[Still Time (book)|Still Time]]'' by Sally Mann, which he purchased from a bookstore in [[Walthamstow]], London. His conviction was overturned on appeal in 2011, with the judge calling his conviction "very unfair" and criticising the [[Crown Prosecution Service]] (CPS) for prosecuting him. The judge concluded that "If the [CPS] wishes to test whether the pictures in the books are indecent, the right way to deal with the matter is by way of prosecuting the publisher or retailer—not the individual purchaser."<ref name=justice/><ref name=register/><ref name="R10"/>

==Sexual assault allegations==
On 22 October 2016, [[Thierry Ardisson]], the host of the French talk-show ''Salut les Terriens!'' on TNT C8 channel, named Hamilton as the alleged man who raped now-radio [[RTL (French radio)|RTL]] presenter [[Flavie Flament]].<ref name="R1"/> According to Flament, the acts were committed in 1987 when she was 13 years old, in [[Cap d'Agde]], a [[naturist resort]] in Hérault, Southern France. She mentions them in her novel ''La consolation'', a romanticised story based on her purported life experiences. After Flament publicly identified Hamilton, the book led to him being accused of being a predatory paedophile.<ref name="HamiltonBBC" /><ref name="R11"/><ref name="R12"/><ref name="R13"/><ref name="R14"/><ref name="R15"/><ref name="R16"/><ref name="R17"/><ref name="R18"/> Flament's brother has called certain revelations in her book into question, though he also stated that at the time, Flavie complained of inappropriate behaviour by the photographer, resulting in her parents stopping Hamilton from continuing with her.<ref name="R19"/>

On 17 November 2016, the weekly ''[[L'Obs]]'' magazine published anonymous accounts by three other former models who claimed that Hamilton had sex with them when they were underage.<ref name="R22"/><ref name="R23"/><ref name="R24"/> Five days later, Hamilton issued a statement threatening legal action against his accusers.<ref name="R20"/><ref name="HamiltonSky"/> When contacted by the French press agency [[Agence France-Presse|AFP]], Hamilton declared that he was not to blame. "I didn't do anything wrong," he said, while claiming only that he took a portrait of Flament "29 or 30 years ago". Flament put the portrait on the cover of ''La consolation''.<ref name="HamiltonGuardian"/><ref name="R21"/>

== Death ==
On the evening of 25 November 2016, Hamilton's cleaning lady entered his apartment at 41 [[Boulevard du Montparnasse|Boulevard Montparnasse]]<ref name="R25"/> in southern Paris and found him dead with a plastic bag over his head and medications close at hand.{{citation needed|date=April 2019}} The postmortem identified [[asphyxia]]tion as the cause of death. Suicide is the leading hypothesis in the investigation.<ref name="HamiltonBBC"/><ref name="HamiltonGuardian" /><ref name="R26"/><ref name="R27"/><ref name="R28"/><ref name="R29"/><ref name="R30"/>
