His artistic skills began to emerge during a job at an architect's office. At age 20, he went to Paris, where he worked as graphic designer for Peter Knapp of ELLE magazine.

Hamilton began photographing commercially while still employed, and the dreamy, grainy style of his images quickly brought him success.

As much of Hamilton's work depicts early-teen girls, often in a state of partial disrobe, he has been the subject of some occasional controversy and even child pornography allegations from ill-informed and extremist individuals in North America and Britain, similar to that which the work of Sally Mann and Jock Sturges have attracted. In the late 1990s, American extremist christian conservatives protested bookstores that stocked Hamilton's photography books but their efforts came to nothing. Because of differing attitudes regarding age and nudity, Hamilton has not received this negative attention in his adopted home of France, or the rest of the world generally, and it is a fact that his work is still held in high regard by the general public in North America and Britain despite the occasional attacks by a handful of radicals. The term child pornography (sometimes referred to as CP, child porn, or kiddie porn) generally refers to pornography featuring one or more children; however, a precise definition can be elusive, as the terms pornography and child vary in definition according to region and country. ...

The Guardian (UK), June 23, 2005, wrote: Hamilton's photographs have long been at the forefront of the "is it art or pornography?" debate. Glenn Holland, spokesman for the 71-year-old photographer, who lives in St Tropez, said: "We are deeply saddened and disappointed by this, as David is one of the most successful art photographers the world has ever known. His books have sold millions".
