portraits

David Hamilton has done it again. This is by far my favorite album of his to date. Once again, this album is filled with absolutly beautiful soft focused images of the changing female body.
Probably my favorite part of this book is that most of it is in color which is different from "25 years". The pastels used in all the photos again bring out the feeling of innocence with these young beauties that Hamilton loves so much.
This book is published by the same company that did "25 years" so the two books go great with each other. This one is a little bit thinner which is a little downfall because you fall in love with Hamiltons photographs so easy that you dont want to stop browsing through them.
Although some people may find the work in this book and Hamiltons other books a little disturbing, I have yet to find one person that has found his works bad. Because of this, I am happy to display this on my coffee table for all visitors of all ages to look through.

Ladies and Gentlemen, Dont miss this book. Hamilton is getting older now, and soon these books will be very hard to get, and very very expensive. Even though 50 dollars seems steep, suck it up and fork it out for this or any of his other works. You will not regret it.

This is definitely the prettiest book I have ever seen. One of the best books to come out of Great Britain ever, and surely one of the world's finest photo-art books. This is not pornographic in any way; those who think it is do not know the true definition of the term. This book is a celebration of youth and beauty as experienced by these young girls. If you appreciate what is truly beautiful in our world, then you will purchase this book. If you don't, you will surely be missing out. The portrait on page eighty-one is worth the price of the book alone.The quotations accompanying the photographs are thought provoking, and, in this reviewer's case, educating---I am now reading Ulysses as a result of this book! So, you may even improve your literary skills as a result of this book. Any way you look at it, this book is a real treasure, and congratulations to David Hamilton on a job well done.

This is possibly the most beautiful set of photo portraits I've ever seen. Like the subjects, though, the beauty has a scary side to it.

There's a lot more to say. The pictures are intense, and more intense as a collection. I'm sure everyone who sees it will have more to say, and everyone will say something different. For that matter, I could discuss this in three or four contradictory ways. This time, I prefer to let the pictures speak for themselves and to let the readers form opinions of their own.
