David Hamilton is famous for his photographs of young girls. He did most of his work in London and Paris, and worked for Elle magazine as well as Queen magazine, where he was art director. His photographs have sparked controversy for years over the 'pornography vs art' debate, but no attempts to bring his art down have ever succeeded and his books continue to sell millions. I love his photographs of young girls, nude or not because of the dream like quality that is found in them. The light is usually very soft, as are the girls' expressions. The poses also usually seem very natural and relaxed, and they each seem like something from an epic novel.
