It's probably her most uncomfortable photo shoot, too. She does look elegant (and a little bare). My favorite shoot is from Odyssey, the ones of her by the water. You can't exactly wear a gorgeous gown when you're going on an Odyssey, can you? My point is that this type of photo never really represented the theme of her other albums.

Hi Elliot, I reckon! This photoshoot is the best she's ever done, in my opinion. Here's a link to a much bigger version of the above photo: I'll post more when I get the chance -- I'm making them big by piecing together the little images from the zoom preview on Amazon, so each one takes a little while! Hi Jillian, The image you posted is not a new photo shoot, but rather one from a while ago done by Rhys Frampton, I have pointed you to his website earlier this year Cheers Dean

Hi Jillian Yes, it is different, isn't it? To be honest, I'm surprised that this is probably the only photoshoot that Hayley has done in big dresses with her hair all done -- all the rest seem mostly to be jeans and tops or day dresses. Most of the other shoots we've seen pictures from have been for a particular purpose and, although some of these have been included in CD inserts, I'm still not sure whether it had a specific purpose. Maybe it was done to show a different aspect of Hayley and, if that's the case, it worked! Anyway, I need to get back to making my puzzles! Ha, ha ... OK ... What puzzles? ... I'm puzzled Best wishes Grant

Hi Dean Hi Jillian,

Cheers Dean In Jillian's defence, this photo shoot has been resurected because Libby found some images from it on Amazon that we have not seen before and some we have in better quality which Jillian is re-posting Best wishes Grant

Hi Grant, I think that it may have been intended to support the HSJS2 -- as some of the images appeared in that booklet. But the slow release of the photos has been a bit unusual -- compared with the blanket coverage that the Treasure/River of Dreams photos received. It's also exciting to have access to very large images -- we don't get that much. Libby, I agree that the Odyssey shoot was amazing -- I love photos that have a 'theme' to them!

Oh, I do actually like the Odyssey photos, where she's sitting on the sofa, and on the chair. I don't really like the front cover of the special UK version, though. I can't really see why they thought that was the best photo for the cover. She didn't really look like herself there.
Didn't the shots of her in the gold gown first appear in the River of Dreams program? And then we saw the same one in HSJS2. I like the one where she's looking towards the window better.

I think one of the reasons I like these photos so much is that they offer a hint of extravagance -- something that is in limited supply most of the time.
I often get the impression that in recent times a lot of emphasis has been placed on getting everything done as cheaply and quickly as possible -- I do feel that Hayley deserves so much more than what she is given to work with.

What a lovely topic. I only see all the CD covers around the net (guess I look at the wrong places) and like the pictures in this topic very much... I like the one with the big dres by the window...

Sharon...
It's not just you, I assure you! Pictures of Hayley are almost impossible to find in any number - let alone at a decent quality - outside of this forum. I'm completely baffled as to why that should be.

Sharon... I knew about the HWI forum for a while before I joined, but it just seemed like a normal fan forum until I realised that every single time I did a search for Hayley to see what she was up to, I'd end up coming here. Hayley performances, Hayley pics, Hayley's schedule, articles about Hayley - the whole works. The rest of the web wasn't just bad by comparison, it was virtually annihilated by comparison, including all her official sites! So it just became quicker to start out here!

Sharon... It's not just you, I assure you! Pictures of Hayley are almost impossible to find in any number - let alone at a decent quality - outside of this forum. I'm completely baffled as to why that should be. 1. Compared to so many in her business, she’s not a social gadfly. She’s just not out and about that often so she doesn't show up where the paparazzi hang out. 2. Her admirable refusal to “tart up” as the controversy had it some time ago, means she doesn’t present the kind of pictorial fodder that many rags and Internet sites are looking for. 3. The American press is largely unaware of Hayley and as a result many Internet sources have little or nothing on her. I’m sure there are other reasons, but those come to mind.

To me it's fine the way she is. She seems to have a great career and she doesn't need any nasty paparazzi hunting her like a deer... The more of that stuff, the more gossip and digging in her personal life...
So you're right about that socalboy. I'm just glad I found this forum with all the info and photo's of Hayley. She's treated here with respect as far I can see. And I like that!
Sharon
