On World Photo Day: Team GLAMOUR share a memorable moment
Take a look through some of Team GLAMOUR's favourite photo highlights.
Jo Elvin, Editor
"This was taken at GLAMOUR's Women Of The Year Awards last year. Ellie Goulding, Jameela Jamil and me are laughing because we were being very rude."
Kat Brown, Social Media Editor
"This picture was taken at the 12 mile point of my first half-marathon - I ran the whole thing fuelled by left-over chocolates from a dinner party and would ENTIRELY recommend this. I love this photo because it sums up all the work I’d put in, and the exuberant joy I felt at finding my body doing something extraordinary. I ran the London Marathon the following year (awful, would not recommend) and tweeted my way round, raising loads for Mind, who ended up using this photo on their flyers (and on their building!) and high-fiving teenage me who was ill with depression and thought that she “couldn’t” run. Mate, you totally can."
Sandra WaiblSandra Waibl, Digital Picture Editor
"I saw this guy hanging out outside our office and just had to take a picture of him. He just looked so cool and badass and totally in charge of his job. I also loved the way he was wearing his T-shirt. Top dog."
Lucy WalkerLucy Walker, Fashion Editor
"This picture was taken in Berlin when I was 24 and had just landed my first job in fashion. It represents a time where I felt carefree, full of optimism and change was occurring daily. I’d gone there with my friend Amelia (second from left) and we met this fun group of boys in a bar - we’re all still good friends to this day."
Lisa Harvey, Deputy Features Editor
“I’m a sentimental sucker for sunsets – and a sea view – and this photo from Columbo, Sri Lanka last October blew my mind. I mean, just LOOK at those colours. These days its pretty hard to switch off but I sat there for over an hour watching the sun dip behind the horizon thinking, reflecting, relaxing – and simply enjoying a beautiful, quiet moment from my travels to the fullest.”
Holly QuayleHolly Quayle, Acting Deputy Chief Sub
"This is my cat shunning his new bed because apparently crushing my mint crop to death makes for better napping. I’d spent ages tending to the seedlings in this box, but he just looked so ridiculously peaceful I left him to it."
Ella Alexander, Fashion Features Editor
"I took this on holiday in Cuba last year and it makes me smile every time I look at it. This guy was selling rum from a shack in Havana, and clearly the rum or sunshine had got the better of him. Frankly, I want his job."
Leanne Bayley, Content Editor
"There are some celebrity interviews to tick off the bucket list, and Britney Spears is definitely one of them. I look at this picture from 2014 and want to laugh – you could park a bus between us! But there’s something about Britney that has an element of ‘do not touch!’ about her, and I quite like that, y’know! She’s a superstar, and my teenage self (who attempted to dance along to Hit Me Baby One More Time) would lose her shit that I met Ms Spears."
Emma WardEmma Ward, Picture Editor
"I took this photo in Death Valley on my American road trip honeymoon. I remember leaping out the car in the scorching heat as the view simply made us go "WOW!" Even today, seeing this long road reminds me of the adventures and fun times that were ahead of us."
Alice Howarth, Writer
"One of my favourite photos ever, partly because my older sister (pictured left) and I are clearly taking our lunch date very seriously, but also because years later - nothing’s changed. She’s still the best dining companion, and we still take our food just as seriously."
Dominique Temple, Junior Beauty Editor
"As a closet 1D fan this was quite a special day for me. An interview with Harry Styles over afternoon tea about the band's fragrance launch - well, it doesn't get better than that."
Glenda McCauleyGlenda McCauley, Acting Chief Sub
"In the summer of 2008, I worked at an all-girls’ camp on Steamboat Lake in Laporte, Minnesota, and I still consider it one of the best experiences of my life. I took this photo on the final morning at 6am from the closed sailing dock where the kids had screeched their faces off for 10 weeks. It felt strange to see it so calm, so serene, so beautiful. I still remember exactly how I felt in that moment - and they're the best kind of pictures, right?"
Natalie Michele DavisNatalie Michele-Davis, Deputy Picture Editor
"I've always taken pictures of musicians, and have been lucky to shoot some talented people including, James Bay, Gabrielle Aplin and Jake Bugg. My favourite opportunity though, was when I was asked to photograph my good friend Alice Jemima (here) to support her debut album campaign. I felt at the time, and still do, SO proud of her. It’s been an honour to share a part of her journey, and I look back at this picture remembering that this was start of something very special. I can't wait to see her live at Bestival next month!"
Ciara Sheppard, Freelance Online Writer
"This is me (left) and my best friend Emily at Glastonbury in 2015. It was SUCH a fun day. I'd just left uni and it my last week of fun with the girls before, erm, 'real life' started."
Claire MatthiaeClaire Matthiae, Features Director
"This train selfie was taken on the way to the cast and crew screening of the latest James Bond movie. My husband played a security guard who takes a swing at Daniel Craig. We squeezed each other's hands so tightly when we got to his bit, trying to play it cool, when all I really wanted to do was jump up and down shouting, 'that's Tris, that's Tris!'"
Rebecca Fearn, Junior Writer
"This was taken during my six-week road trip through America and Canada. I'd just finished uni, had nothing to tie me down and remember feeling really happy. This specific photo was taken on Lake Louise in Canada. It's one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever been, and my friends and I had such a fun time on the water together."
Sophie KnightSophie Knight, Art & Picture Intern
"This was taken in Santorini last November - it was the first time I had been away on my own, and I loved it. As it was out of holiday season, the place was empty and I was able to enjoy the peace along with my book and cocktail. Total relaxation."
Lisa RahmanLisa Rahman, Art Director
"I am proud to say it has been nine months since I started as Art Director of GLAMOUR. In that time we've undergone a redesign of the magazine, had our first ever beauty festival, another amazing GLAMOUR Women Of The Year Awards and recruited a team of wonderfully talented people on the art and picture desk. I took this photo of all their smiling faces at our first team lunch this week. It shall remind me that it's the beginning of lots more exciting creative things for GLAMOUR."
