Dina Gold

Dina Gold (born in 1986) is an American photographer (http://www.dinagold.com). Gold was born in Wayside, New Jersey and attended Ocean Township High School. She went on to complete her undergraduate degree at New York University's Gallatin School of Individualized Study (http://www.nyu.edu/gallatin). Within this program, she designed a unique concentration in art, media, and business. She was a member of the Dean's Honor Society, which is an honors program that holds continuing academic seminars and cultural activities for outstanding undergraduate students. It fosters a passion for leadership and civic engagement.

Gold began photographing since she could hold a camera. Her craft led her to many artistic achievements, most especially a web photographer for the international fashion publication V Magazine (http://www.vmagazine.com). She completed two stories, one detailing the opening of the NYC Bvlgari flagship store on Fifth Avenue and 57th Street (http://vmagazine.com/blog.php?a=14). The second story was the "Making of the 2006 Holiday Window Displays" at Bergdorf Goodman (http://vmagazine.com/feature_article.php?n=519) with the permission of renowned creative director David Hoey. In addition, she has had a one-woman traveling exhibition around Monmouth County Public Libraries (http://www.monmouthcountylib.org), and she was a visual artist for the 2006 and 2008 Gallatin Arts Festival. In 2007, the Gallatin Arts Faculty temporarily suspended the annual Gallatin Arts Festival in order to undergo a review process to examine past Festivals and insure an improvement of Festivals to come. The Arts Faculty decided to establish Gallatin Arts Festival Self Study Working Group, a committee charged with assessing the Festival, and designing a new system of recommendations for its betterment. Gold was an enthusiastic and committed member on that initiative.

Gold began her advertising career through The Advertising Club of NY's Summer Internship Program (http://www.theadvertisingclub.org). Through this organization, she worked at TargetCast TCM (http://www.targetcast.com) under the direction of the Director of Digital Media. She currently works at Google (http://www.google.com).

Her sister, Jodi Gold (http://www.jodigold.com and http://www.myspace.com/jodigold), is a recording artist based in New York City.
