Amelia Troubridge
Amelia Troubridge (born London 1974) is a British portrait, commercial and documentary photographer.
Early life and Career
She studied American Studies at Middlesex University and New York State University discovering the work of Dorothy Lange and the New Deal Photographers[1]
Their work was to influence her early documentary work and resulted in her winning the Ian Parry award in 1996 for her first social documentary story Dublin’s Urban Cowboys.
In 1998 Amelia won a place on the Joop Swart Masterclass organized by World Press Photo that takes 12 young photographers and helps them towards a professional photographic career.[2] Amelia was subsequently nominated and runner up as Young Photographer of the Year in 1999 by the International Center of Photography in New York.
Amelia has been commissioned by Vanity Fair, The London Times Magazine, TIME magazine, The New York Times, Condé Nast Traveller, Tatler, GQ, Stern, London Evening Standard Magazine and Dazed & Confused.
She has published three monographs. Her first solo work, The Trouble with Amelia[3] (Booth-Clibborn Editions 2004) focused on the subject of men. Robert Crampton writing in The Times Magazine of her work said: “She sees most men as boys who haven’t grown up (…) Troubridge’s instinct is to celebrate this boyishness rather than reform it or ridicule it or recoil from it”.
Her second book Malta Diaries[4] (Trolley Books 2006), with an introduction by Edward de Bono, explored her relationship with the island and its people. It is also a personal exploration of family and traditions passed down from her family, as her mother is Maltese.
Amelia’s third book, Joan Of Arc Had Style [5] was published in March 2015 with support from LVMH and De Beers ), with a launch and exhibit at the Design Museum in London, as part of the exhibition Women, Fashion, Power.[6]
Amelia’s film and television work includes five of Michael Winterbottom’s films, shooting specials and poster campaigns for Wonderland (1999 film) 24 Hour Party People (2002) A Cock and Bull Story, (2006) The Look of Love (2013) and The Face of an Angel (2014).[7]
In 2012 Amelia shot on-set stills and created the poster image[8] for Nick Cave’s 20,000 Days on Earth[9] (2014), directed by Iain Forsyth and Jane Pollard.[10][11]
Amelia’s work has been exhibited at the Wallace Collection[12] and exhibited and auctioned at Phillips de Pury and Christie's.[1]
