Memories of David Hamilton

One year has past since our last video with pictures of Max, chosen by the great master of light David Hamilton.

Without any question Max can be seen as the successor of David. He constantly tries to perfect his style and invents new techniques, enriching the genre of romantic photography.

From time to time Max showed his pictures to David Hamilton who gave his critique.
In this video meant to honor the death annual of David we have put some of the finest photographies of Max, rated as very well done by David himself.

The premiere of the video will take place tonight on 19:00 CET on the youtube channel of the Atelier Stolzenberg.

 

 

We want you to draw your attention especially to the following picture in the video.

It has been done by Max in a way that it almost looks like a painting.
We can assure you that no filters, neither analog nor digital, have been used to shoot this picture!
Just a simple analog 35mm camera, a single manual focus lens and the talent of Max and the beautiful jeunes filles as well as the beautiful light of south France created this picture.

This new technique was developed by Max and discussed with David just before his death.

This and all other photos of the new video are available from us.
For prices and sizes please go here.

It is no secret that Max often uses his old Minolta SRT-101 or X-700. This cameras are just the same camera that David used during the time he directed Bilitis and later in the mid eighties.

You can see it here (Minolta SRT-101).

And here (Minolta X-700).

 

Here is an old Minolta advertising from a french magazine from Max’s collection.

A picture of Max, using his beloved Minolta X-700 during a recent photo shooting in south France.

We also encourage you to visit the site of Olivier Mathieu who brought together the most complete archive of information about David Hamilton. It is really worth to be read.

 

This pictures shown on our site can be purchased as personally autographed and dry stamped prints (limited to 300 worldwide) from us.

The prices for the different sizes can be seen in the shop.

Simply write to Bilitis to place your order. She will help you through the ordering process.

Max uses only analog cameras and genuine film for his artwork.

 We wish you a lot of pleasure with Max Stolzenberg’s amazing photography.
