First edition – Erotic photography – Black and white – The Erotic Print Society, London

Published in 2002 by The Erotic Print Society in London, Bittersweet Sex is a book devoted to the photographic world of China Hamilton, a British photographer known for his black-and-white erotic compositions.

In a series of photographs with pronounced contrasts, China Hamilton explores the relationships between sensuality, power, submission, and the staging of the female body.

His work is distinguished by a dark, theatrical, deliberately provocative aesthetic, drawing on the codes of fetishism, bondage, and erotic fantasy.

The photographs, often accompanied by handwritten captions, combine a remarkable command of light with carefully constructed compositions.

China Hamilton holds a distinctive place in British erotic photography. His work has been the subject of several specialist publications and was notably featured in The New Erotic Photography, published by Taschen.

A characteristic photobook of early-2000s British erotic photography, of interest to collectors of artistic nude photography, fetish photography, and publications by The Erotic Print Society.
