Jock Sturges: Misty Dawn: Portrait of a Muse: Potrait of a Muse

Product Information

Naked young people are only a part of his exploration of “a journey from child to adult” – a journey that takes many years to complete. Hamilton's photography of naked children is not singular and similar types of portrait have suffered similar types of criticism; examples of which can be seen in the works of Sally Mann and Jock Sturges, to name a few. The victim, who appeared at Monday’s hearing via video, spoke of the effect her relationship with Sturges had on her.

But I suspect David Hamilton's approach, as artistic as it is would be over the line for most people. His subjects are nude adolescents and their families, primarily taken at communes in Northern California and at the Atlantic-coast naturist resort CHM Montalivet in Vendays-Montalivet. A narrative has been applied to these collections of nude images of adolescents which categorizes them as important and expressions of purity, but it seems that any justification leaves a foul taste in the mouths of many. Coleman gave a favourable review of the book in The New York Observer, stating: "Sturges sustains a delicate balance on a very precarious wire . His genius and purpose has been a source of inspiration for many fashion photographers today but none of them have managed to reach such thrilling qualities.His photographs appear as cover art on three novels by Jennifer McMahon, Promise Not to Tell, Island of Lost Girls and Dismantled, as well as Karl Ove Knausgård's 1998 debut novel Ute av verden ( Out of the World). While perhaps scoffed at today, his style of dreamy, soft focus images became popular in the extreme and resulted in millions in sales, many exhibitions, myriad features, and the position of director on several films. The photographer and director David Hamilton was somewhat of a permanent resident of such debate and his suspected suicide recently has brought a number of questions to fruition.
