On the Cover “Sisterhood” by Vasso Vujovic Based on an old Serbian folk tale about two fisherman’s daughters who wanted to visit their mother in the mountains. As the father was against this (because their mother was a witch), he beheaded his older daughter and before he could kill the young one, she took her sister’s head and ran off into the mountains to visit their lonely witch mother.

Dear Readers After a long run of themed issues that were absolutely incredible, I wanted to give everyone a chance to submit to Golden Age again regardless of content! Fall is upon us and winter is slowly creeping onward, so please find inspiration in these photos to bundle up and take a journey outdoors even if it is too cold. Keep creating, keep your imagination vivid, and above all do what you love most! At last, let me welcome you to our 18th issue of Golden Age! Nikki Chicoine Editor in Chief

It was a wonderful early morning in Richmonf Park, where I spotted a group of deers. I’ve been wanting to take some kind of dreamlike magical image featuring deers ever since I moved close to the park. I brought my red dress with me in order to create some kind of fairytale character rather than just wearing casual clothes that would’t anyhow add to the image. I used a tripod a remote control to take an image and expanded the frame ult!

This photograph was shot on the last evening spent at a small house on the beach one long-weekend last spring. I remember the dark gravel greeting us upon our nighttime arrival and my delight at the morning discovery, (as the sun slowly warmed the property,) of the treasures, such as this green house, that were blanketed by darkness the night before. This photograph reminds me of that weekend by the sea, and of the appreciation to those hidden things.

This photo was taken in a confused period of my life, many things were changing and it is also thanks to photography that I was able to face the new challenges that life offered me. The photo is blurry and with a lot of noise, but it’s one of my favorites because of the dreamy atmosphere: it seems like it encompasses a fairy tale, a dream that may seem obscure, but actually it hides a lot of sweetness and hope.

As of the moment, my favorite photo of mine would be “Ventilation”. This photo means a lot to me and signifies me deciding to quit being scared to try new things in life just because I don’t know the outcome. I’ve got to just open my heart, take a deep breath, and hope for the best.

This is a recent favorite of mine! I connect differently with my work so choosing a favorite was a little too hard and it doesn’t help that my opinion changes faster than the weather! My style of work drifts into this fairytale, woodland world that I’ve created really without knowingmy own quiet version of wonderland where I’m constantly barefoot and adventuring behind the camera and in front of it. I love this photograph for its simplicity. This was the first dawn shoot that I’ve ever done and standing knee high in mud while we tried not to wake whatever might have been sleeping in the water was an adventure in itself.

I would say this is one of my favorite photos that I’ve taken due to the nature in which it was taken. As much as photography requires a good eye and plenty of forethought, it also offers this mysterious type of chance. It’s in the chance occurrences of photography that I have found my photography to be the most interesting. To me these occurrences combine all the elements at once in order to create somewhat of an untouchable magical space. This particular photo was taken right as the sun dipped beneath a cloud, adding deep shadows to what was, a moment before, a fairly average looking pile of branches. Suddenly the scene transformed, becoming fairly dark and moody which allowed me to view the subject differently. Because of the chance lighting, the entire nature of the photograph changed, and I find this really fascinating.

I love this photograph for the story behind it. My idea was to catch the sun rising at 5:45am and get some pretty photos in the golden sunlight. Things did not go exactly to plan and the initial sun rise was masked by the clouds. Although a little disappointed, I took the photos I needed and as we turned away to change outfits, the sun burst through the clouds and gave us the most beautiful show I have ever seen. I photographed like crazy to capture the sun while she made her brief appearance. This is one of the images.

My favourite photo of my own is from my series “Drowning in you� that I shot back in 2011 when I first started photography. Despite my very little knowledge of the camera I was holding in my hands, everything still managed to come together. The model is my beautiful friend Feline Hjermind.

This photograph is from a series I’ve been working on sporadically for the last few years. I am so inspired my nature and I often feel sad when I see the way it is treated in our modern world. This series explores the connection between human beings and nature and I try to show that we are part of nature rather than it being a separate entity. It is one of my favourite images because of what it represents and also because it features trees which I love and my good friend Ellis who I met through this shoot.

I always want to tell a little story with my images, what is behind the girl in the picture, and what her story is. “Dream onâ€? is my favorite photo at this particular time. It has a hope that nowadays is lost; it motivates us to dream, to not lose ourselves, to believe in fairytales, and to believe in magic that comes from within. The red bow symbolizes hope, the black ribbons symbolize our fears that hold us back sometimes, and the clouds symbolize the infinity that we have no limits‌ all we have to do is believe. So maybe we believe.

My favorite photo of my own would have to be the one titled Suburban Doll. It is the result of a collaboration with a really dear friend of mine, and also, it is the result of a lot of planning and working, so it makes me very proud. It has been featured on Vogue Italia as well, so it makes me feel like my work is validated.
