New York, NY — Last Call documents a generation coming of age through friendship, creativity, and nightlife. While the book serves as a portrait of a now-vanished downtown scene, it is ultimately a story about community—the people who shaped Hampton’s life and the beginnings of the photographic language that would define his career. Across 300 pages, Hampton captures intimate moments between friends, artists, musicians, models, and creatives moving through New York’s clubs, apartments, streets, and after-hours gatherings. The book also preserves glimpses of cultural landmarks that no longer exist, including China Chalet and The Sanitarium, spaces that once served as gathering points for a generation of young New Yorkers. Many of the faces that appear throughout the book have since become familiar figures in fashion, art, music, and culture. Looking back now, as Hampton and many of his subjects approach thirty, Last Call becomes both a personal archive and a reflection on youth before adulthood took hold. The title references the traditional announcement made before a bar closes for the night. For Hampton, it carries a more personal meaning. “Last Call is my announcement that I’m hanging up my club hat,” says Hampton. “These photographs capture the years when I was finding my footing—in photography, in New York, and in life. More than anything, they’re about friendship and the people who helped shape me.” Published in a limited edition of 500 copies, Last Call is both a farewell and a celebration: a final toast to a fleeting era, the places that defined it, and the people who made it unforgettable.
