Women who seek to be equal with men lack ambition.~Timothy Leary

Instead of getting hard ourselves and trying to compete, women should try and give their best qualities to men - bring them softness, teach them how to cry.~Joan Baez,

Scratch most feminists and underneath there is a woman
who longs to be a sex object. The difference is that is not ALL she wants to be.~ Betty Rollin

Name a place & Alane Golden's probably been there… photographed that! Camera-in-hand at the tender age of three, it didn’t take long for this wonder-kid’s work to be thrust into the national spotlight.

At 15, she won a coveted spot in the S.C. Governor’s Traveling Artist Series, where her artwork was featured in a year long, 50-state tour, cumulating in a final art exhibition at the White House.

A thirst for international affairs found then 19 year old Golden with another award – this time in academics. As a participant of the USC’s International Programs for Student's exchange program, she attended Teesside University in the UK - earning a double-degree in English Literature & European History. While there, she volunteered for the British Red Cross & later lived in Zurich, Switzerland.

Her next wins included: a national First Place for “Best Print Ad” by the College Media Advisers (CMA); a First Place “Best Advertising Campaign” at the Southern University Newspapers (SUN) Conference and a First Place “Best Advertisement” from the South Carolina Press Association – all before turning 21.

After receiving her BA in Journalism, Alane moved to Australia, where she was a Creative Director in Sydney. After returning to the U.S. in 2000, she's since worked as a freelance artist in NYC. The product of a conservative ex-Special Forces Green Beret Paratrooper from N.Y. and an even more disciplined S.C. schoolteacher, Alane was “raised right” in the deep south.

To say this background - as well as a decade of international live, work & study abroad experience - helps make this Political Photographer’s perspective as unique as it is diverse, would be a massive understatement. In short, you can't pigeonhole this Golden girl!

Since 2001, Golden has documented countless protests / political events around the nation, featured in the “Fall of Rome: deaux” series. Other Golden work includes an ongoing photography series entitled, “N8TV”- a colorful visual story on the life of modern-day Natives.

A joint photography / marketing campaign for American Apparel in 2005, led legendary Steve Hall to hail Golden as one of the “top marketing & PR gurus in the U.S.” Her background as a trained artist combines seamlessly, creating a mixed-medium extravaganza of a hip-and-on-the-cutting-edge-technology breadth of work.

From the cover of, “Honey It’s Ok to Marry an Ugly Man”…to the N.Y. Public Library… to photography featured in a Times Square GE ad campaign...editorial work… features in various books & on blogs, her imprint is simply everywhere. A must know & a figure to watch.

THANKS for the T.C.C!
