Superstars, politicians, famous criminals, punks and divas, the poor and the rich—James Hamilton photographed them all. Even if you are unfamiliar with his name, you’ve definitely seen at least some of his images, evocative, yet spontaneous and natural.
Shot from Uncropped, 2023
Among the many terrific images in Uncropped is the most revealing portrait I’ve ever seen of Jean-Luc Godard. Godard’s eyes are for a fraction of a second windows to the soul.
— Amy Taubin, Screen Slate
In the film, Hamilton appears not only as a hero, but also as a guide to several bygone worlds at once. The world of the legacy of the great reportage photographers. The world of bohemian magazines that not only described trends, but also set them. And finally, the late 20th century New York City—a full-fledged universe, which has now changed irrevocably.
