His photographs were in demand by other magazines such as Réalités, Twen and Photo. While Hamilton was still employed at Printemps, he began doing commercial photography, and the dreamy, grainy style of his images quickly brought him success. Hamilton soon realised his love for Paris, however, and after returning there became the art director of Printemps, the city's largest department store. After becoming known and successful, he was hired away from Elle by Queen magazine in London as art director. At age 20, he went to Paris, where he worked as graphic designer for Peter Knapp of Elle magazine. His artistic skills began to emerge during a job at an architect's office. After the war, Hamilton returned to London and finished his schooling. As an evacuee, he spent some time in the countryside of Dorset, which inspired some of his work. His schooling was interrupted by World War II. Hamilton was born in 1933 and grew up in London.
