A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

Alexander Hamilton creates stunningly beautiful works of art. His photography has, for decades, explored the potential of the cyanotype process. This approach, rooted in the pre-history of photography, uses photosensitive paper and solutions that are exposed to sunlight. The results can be serendipitious but Hamilton's metier, his extraordinary skill, crafts the most suble and exquisite images. Next to his vocation as an artist, Alexander Hamilton holds the position of chair of the Scottish Society for the History of Photography. He has exhibited widely within the UK, Europe and the US, and his work is held at the National Science and Media Museum.
