Note about Historic Darkroom Prints
Some years ago, due to health reasons resulting from many years exposure to the poisons and fumes of China’s unique printing methods and his extensive research into and development of new printing processes; he was forced to abandon darkroom wet printing. Fortunately digital image technology had caught up and has enabled him to continue his work producing photographic fine art to the standards he always subscribed to using ‘state of the art methods’ and hand made archival paper.

There remains, however, a finite archive of his historic darkroom work. Some of this has been set aside and is not offered for sale however other such rare prints can be bought by collectors. The prints range from 9.5 by 12 inches (24 by 30.5 cm) fibre paper gelatine silver prints to large individual and often very special exhibition prints. The work goes back over about twenty years. All such prints are unrepeatable and quite unique. They were always processed to be archival.

To discuss the purchase of such work please initially contact Lucien Zeger Photography. Historic work can also be examined and discussed directly with China by arrangement, he is based in Suffolk England and easily accessed from London.

Extracts from recent book reviews...

Intimate Obsessions, reviewed by online gallery Michell 7 - "A dark, dreamy, utterly incredible journey into a very voyeuristic wonderland. China Hamilton overwhelms us with his artistic vision."

Christopher John Ball writes in the Association of Erotic Artists review section of 'Intimate Obsessions' - "What comes across from viewing this Collection is the inherently sympathetic dialogue between artist and muse that has resulted in complete openness and trust. If you are new to the world of China Hamilton the you will find this monograph the perfect introduction to the work of this singularly unique talent."

Agnes Giard writes in the September 07 edition of MARQUIS MAGAZINE, "The images are mercilessly honest and incredibly powerful. The play between the dark and abyssal aspects of erotic fantasy is brilliantly staged through the skilful use of light and shadow. Hamilton is also a poet, whose magical pictures invite their beholder to linger and enjoy icons of lust from another world."
Intimate Obsessions
Published September 2007 by Edition Reuss, available on Amazon.

"BitterSweet Sex became an experience like gently immersing myself naked into a warm sea at night: dark, dangerous - and intensely exciting..."
Bittersweet Sex
Review by Asian Sex Gazette

"China Hamilton’s fine photographic artworks - Defining perfection?

Perfection is a short lived beauty, a natural beauty; youth, a flower, a sunset, a butterfly, a kiss.

Perfection is a spectacle captured in time by the viewer; China grasps the very essence of perfection, a momentary expression where pain meets pleasure, a defined instance where restriction realizes freedom; a temporal light thrown on an otherwise dark force. China Hamilton does not photograph perfection, he captures it. Bound beauty with abound sensuality."

Review by Julian Murphy - Art Director
World Erotic Art Museum, Miami Beach, Florida

"As we've mentioned in precious reviews of his work, China Hamilton pushes the proverbial envelope further than any other comparable photographer that we know of. Indeed, part of the undeniable potency of the images in his new book is down to the fact that Hamilton is as much a genuine Dom Master as the various women in his pictures are genuine subs."
The Cabinet of Dark Things
'Desire' Magazine - Ian Jackson, Editor

"The most difficult thing to do is to write a review of a book you wanted to publish yourself. China Hamilton, one of my favourite photographers has again made a great book with the EPS. Hardcover, good printing, moody dramatic-over-the edge pictures with a feeling of 'I was part of the moment' is the result. He knows how to create this portrait of female beauty 'in pain' abandoning their principles and letting go in the hands of an experienced Master. This book is a great statement of SM play, with tenderness and personal involvenment. A world misunderstood, a world to be discovered."
