Photos David — Hamilton Bilitis

"Bilitis" is a French erotic coming-of-age drama directed by David Hamilton himself. It is loosely inspired by the 19th-century French poem "The Songs of Bilitis" by Pierre Louÿs, which depicts a young girl's romantic and sexual awakening in ancient Greece. Hamilton updated the story to a contemporary setting.

David Hamilton was primarily known as a fashion photographer and fine-art photographer, famous (and later controversial) for his soft-focus, dreamlike, pastel-toned images of adolescent girls. "Bilitis" was his directorial debut —he directed the film to translate his signature photographic style into motion pictures. photos david hamilton bilitis
