"Look up to the best - I'm not your example" Hamilton David (Patreon)

Hamilton's work, which became infamous for its images of naked underage girls, often caused heated discussions, accompanied by accusations of Hamilton's pedophilia. Hamilton's main accusations of producing child pornography came from North America and Britain. In the late 1990s, conservative American Christians protested outside bookstores selling Hamilton books. Their efforts have not yielded results. In 2005, a man was convicted of possessing 19,000 photographs of children, including pictures of Hamilton. Glenn Holland, Hamilton's representative, said: "We are deeply saddened and disappointed by this, because David is one of the most successful photographers the world has ever known. His books have sold millions." In 2005, the Surrey County police in the south of the UK outlawed David Hamilton's books. Later, the police were forced to publicly apologize for the unfounded accusations made by Detective Simon Ledger and state that there were no grounds for banning Hamilton's work. In October 2016, a French TV presenter, and previously one of Hamilton's underage models, revealed in her autobiographical novel that Hamilton raped her during one of the shootings when Flaman was 13 years old. Three other former models made similar accusations against Hamilton. Hamilton himself denied the allegations. On November 25, 2016, he committed suicide in his own apartment in Paris. For me, he is one of the best photographers of the old guard in the genre of eroticism and nudes, with his nuances, with beautiful, airy and artistic works! And I think you can see the spirit of Hamilton in some of my works, even though I never use references, just having a good amount of contemplation in my head!
