Golden Years: Part I — Amelia Gale-Hasleham Photography

I’m so excited to show more of this photo shoot after my webitorial feature in Penny Magazine. Back in October, I collaborated with the talented Olivia Annabelle Apparel. I had this photo shoot planned for a long time (I discovered Olivia’s work whilst I was living in Surfer’s Paradise!) and I’m so glad with the way it has turned out. I was so excited to receive an email that my magazine submission was successful in becoming a webitorial. You can view the editorial on the Penny Magazine website here.

Now a bit of a backstory on Golden Years… I had a few sources of inspiration for this photo shoot. I was inspired by models and musical icons from the sixties and seventies, my main muses were Charlotte Rampling and David Bowie - the title is reminiscent of David Bowie’s song of the same title, Golden Years; which happened to be released in 1976. I was also inspired by autumnal colour palettes, and the rock and roll lifestyle which these icons lived in stately homes in the countryside. David Bowie and girlfriend at the time, Angie rented a thirty room mansion in London where they invited several friends to live with them. If you need something to watch, search for the Documentary “David Bowie - The Man Who Changed the World”, he had such a fascinating life, and his story of struggle to then rising like a phoenix from the ashes is incredibly inspiring.

I’m digressing slightly, so here is Part I of Golden Years, Part II will follow on the blog soon.
