domgoodvideo

As part of my online presence revamp I now have a youtube channel. http://www.youtube.com/user/domgoodphoto. This will be the home of all video project relating to the work that I produce. The channel is another way to follow the the domgoodphoto brand and will feature shoot diaries, interviews, reviews and more. I hope that this will give you guys a more behind the scenes look into the work of a photographer.

Reverse sofa, like photo mash ups is just an initial video to get the ball rolling with my new online presence. However the video itself is fairly entertaining and I have not seen another reverse sofa video like it. I hope you enjoy the link and don't forget to subscribe to the channel.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ciqTkUxIv1I&feature=plcp

Photo mash ups

A mash up in musical term that is well... like it says, a mash up of music. One short burst of music followed by another and all mixed together. However for my 1st blog project I think I have crudely came across something similar. I originally wanted to create images of some of Preston most iconic features in the same style as the image to the right. Although the image is more graphic design than photography. I love this classic abstract of cityscapes. Decorative and dynamic, these types of images remind me of jazz montages of New York that pop up on t.v every now and again. What inspired me to take on this shoot was a friend of mine who asked for decorative images of Preston for his home. Unfortunately he had to move out and as a result the project never happened.  You would think recreating similar images would be simple enough way to make an elegant start to my blog, but no it appears that I favor a different approach. I created Photo mash ups instead. Although a failure in regrads to recreating what I initially set out to do. I find that I kind of like them what I have created. I wouldn't by any means say that they are my greatest work, but I would go as far as to say they are a work in progress.  The work needs to be continued if I wanted to turn this into something much greater. The biggest flaw in all of this...... WHERE IS THE DEPTH! I have let the photography Gods down. If feel like if i was a samurai I would have a finger chopped off.  Well o.t.t but still its a valid point. If I am to pursue photography how I should be, how I have trained trained to do so. I must create from the depth of creation. 

1st blog Shoot

 On sunday I decided to take on my 1st shoot for the new blog. I was accompanied by fellow photographer Alex Wolstencroft to shoot images of Preston. I wanted to capture iconic images of Preston but present them like the image to the left. Once we had set out to our 1st location we came across a mass of people who came to see the dock guild celebrations. Although a pleasant surprise it was an obstruction to my original plans to shoot architectural images. However the only thing to do in such a situation was to take advantage of the opportunity and start shooting. Heres some of the best images of the day.  

Start of something good

At last a blog! what better to rant about, then what I have in-store for my photography. I have no idea just how successful domgoodphoto will become. But the name alone is something that I find a very encouraging start. I used to call my photography lansiquotphotography and my website was just a show case for my work. However with this latest approch to branding, I hope it will pay off. I'm waiting to get my hands on a new camera, which will be a great gift to myself. This will kick start my photography. Better still revive my image production. However while I wait in need to ensure that I will get everything in the right order. 1st step a blog.
