Gonna keep an eye out for this one- one of my favorite photographers of all time! Absolute master portraitist- bar none! Back in the day I would run to grab a copy of the Village Voice each and every week just to find the portrait by James Hamilton. He would use every millimeter of the 35mm frame to maximum effect. Every shot was a revelation, every shot its own master class in photography- never understood why he wasn't one of the first names mentioned when anyone discussed photographic portraiture. He also managed to squeeze more quality out of a 35mm frame than seemed humanly possible, his photographs seemed to be taken with a 4X5! Everyone has a lot to learn from this guy...
Just fabulous! James Hamilton should be as famous as Richard Avedon - his portraits are stunning, his photos capture the essence of the moment. He chronicled the heart beat of New York during a tumultous, dark and creative time
Can we stop glorifying photographers like they’re god? No shade on this great photographer but more so on how these types of documentaries are made. For example a great documentary on photography of give is The Salt of the Earth by Wim Wenders.
