Homage to David


Today is the death anniversary of one of the most controversial photo artists in modern time, David Hamilton.
Possibly also one of the most misunderstood and wrongly accused artists ever. If you want to learn more about all this we invite you to read the Blog of Olivier Mathieu who has the most profound knowledge about David Hamilton. His site also gives you an insight into the art of this true master of light.

To celebrate this day Max has asked us to publish a clip with photos as a homage to David Hamilton. They express Max’s thankfulness to David who helped him a lot to perfect his talent through his critique. Max used to regularly show his pictures to the grand master of light and some of the photos can be seen as exercise pieces of a student honoring the art of his master. All pictures presented in this clip have been picked out of Max’s portfolio by David Hamilton himself and have been rated as very well done.

Max chose “L’heure bleue” from Francis Lai, who also wrote the music for David Hamiltons Film “Bilitis”, to accompany his pictures.

A weekend with Yuna and Bilitis

 

Ich liebe solche weiße Glieder,
Der zarten Seele schlanke Hülle,
Wildgroße Augen und die Stirne…

Reinhard Döhl (1934-2004)

Last weekend Yuna came to visit Bilitis, Max and his friend George.
The four decided to make some photos at Max’s house and out in the countryside.
Well, guess what happened! It ended up in a big shooting and they had a lot of fun together.
Here is only a fraction of all the pictures they took. Come back later to see more of this series.

A day at the rivulet


Today Max went out to a small rivulet and a lake together with Emily and Bilitis.
Mother nature delivered some splendid weather and so the trio had a lot of fun with shooting.

Emily and the Wild Meadow


It’s the first time that Max went out for a photo shoot with beautiful Emily.
They took photographies at a rivulet and a jetty at an idyllic little sea.
Bilitis joined in and an impressive set of pictures arose out of this collaboration.
At the end Max took some polaroids of the girls while they where lying in a wild meadow.

Here are two of the polas Max shot. The other films are already on the way to be developed.
Be back soon to see them posted here.

 

Après la dance


 

Belle is one of my all time favourite models. It is a joy to photograph her.
When I met her for the first time I was fascinated by her natural beauty and her shy but nevertheless lively character.

This beautiful Polaroid of her was made during one of our long shooting sessions in South France. In the wonderful region between Avignon and Apt. The soft light of the afternoon sun makes belle look as if she just came down from heaven. In fact she took some dancing lessons before and then came to me with nothing more on her body than an elegant gauze robe.
