Not as good as his Age of Innocence,
By A Customer
This review is from: A Place in the Sun (Hardcover)
Be warned: unlike The Age of Innocence, two-thirds of this book consists of landscapes. If it's sea and clouds you want (with no humans in the picture), buy this. If it's beautiful girls you want, get his other books.

The "Perfect" Hamilton book for your coffee table!,
By A Customer
This review is from: A Place in the Sun (Hardcover)
David Hamilton is perhaps the most talented photographer in the world... This volume is proof. While his other US releases, "The Age of Innocence" and "Twenty-Five Years of an Artist" focus almost entirely upon his obsession with nude girls between the ages of 12-18, "A Place in the Sun" incorporates the beauty of a young girl into the larger, greater beauty of the tropics; Making the beauty of her nude physical form into just one part of the whole of the surrounding beauty of the water, the sky, the beach, and the flora and fauna of the environment of which she is a part. This book is a true journey into fantasy! The topless girl standing on the beach looking out to sea on page 44, the single cloud over the Bali sea on page 104, the peaceful young goddess sleeping in the hammock on page 46... These pictures alone would be with the price. This is THE most beautiful photography book I have ever seen, and far less controversial than his other US releases... Buy this book. It will one day be a collectors item.

Hamilton returns to His Place in the Sun with grace.,
By sharbison@greene.xtn.net (East Tennessee, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: A Place in the Sun (Hardcover)
David Hamilton has "renewed" his Place in the Sun with this wonderful collection of photographs that inspired many visual artists throughout the 70's and 80's. This book relocates Hamilton back on the Top 20 Lists of International Photographic Artists. His portraits of friends, visual still lifes, and his classic modeling of the nude reminds us of Hamilton's place in our visual influence.
