Deadlines closing in.

Just coming out of class, and I figured I'd grace everyone (read; both of you) with a little update; This time with another portrait of the cool cool man named Lazarus. He is another aspiring actor out of Columbus, Ohio. The shoot went by really quickly, and turned out a pretty good set of shots. Most of which I still need to upload. But without any further adeiu; Lazarus:

Just a quick one this time round; A rough (extremely rough) cut of my latest video, the Anger Interviews

My Last Spring Break

I like experimenting. Although, I'd call it playing more than anything.

Another aspiring actress from Columbus, OH, I had the pleasure of meeting Carina through my friend/roommate/film maker friend. I guess my name came up through conversation as someone who'd be able to do some headshots.

The shoot was a little rushed, I had just finished up another shoot, and wasn't really up for the next one, and Carina seemed a bit tired herself, but things went well, everyone had a good time, and we agreed to another shoot soon.

At my first glance through the shots, I wasn't thrilled. Nothing really jumped out at me, but after some tweaking, and some time away, I found this image. A little lomo later, and I think we have something.

Graduation

I'm going to graduate. From college. What the hell?

I'm still in a bit of shock, really, and dread. Not like when I graduated from high school, no this is different. I don't believe that I am ready, there is still so much I can, so much I should learn before I graduate. I feel like none of my instructors have looked at my work, that there should be some reason why I shouldn't be allowed to leave.

And that isn't the only thing; how the hell does one go about getting work? I mean, I know how, in a vague way, to make money, but I really don't know anything fiscal.

But, then again, I'm probably not the only person going through this.

Anyway, on to details about this shoot;
Nothing really exceptional happened at my most recent shoot. We had fun, took some photos, some turned out, some didn't, I haven't looked through most of them yet. The model began to get sick as the shoot went on (it was her first time in front of strobes), so we had to call it quits early.

Still, I'd say this shot was pretty worth it;

New Photo!

Every week, I'm going to try and upload a new image, so here is this weeks;

I haven't been shooting or filming much lately, there has been a lot on my plate. However, I have been hunting through old projects, and galleries to see if there were any photos or videos I either ignored (that had potential), or didn't know how to effectively edit them. This photo is one of those.

Marketing, branding and Other Corporate Jazz

After a hectic relocation process (which still isn't finished) I am finally able to sit down and re-refocus myself. I took a break from designing my business card, and decided to go for something a little more controlled. A little more focused. It isn't that the old design was bad, per say, it just felt more like a card for some sort of family entertainment company. More 04LazerTag! than 04Photography.

I want to redesign my logo, too. I like my current one, and it will probably still exist/be used in certain situations, but definitely not on a business card.

While in the process of redesigning my logo/card, I have been looking through my various projects, trying to find a reel in there somewhere. I know the work is good, but I think I am a little too hard on myself. If it isn't perfect, it feels like a failure to me. Perfection may be impossible, but its not fruitless to chase it.

First Post

This blog (and also o4photography) was created by COREY GODFREY. A competent, if a bit green, photographer/videographer out of small Columbus, Ohio, USA.

Currently attending Columbus College of Art and Design, he anticipates graduating in the Spring of 2009.

Alright, now that I have that out of my system, I plan on using this as a staging ground of sorts. This is a makeshift website (along with my deviantART and ModelMayhem accounts) until I have a website of my own running (read; one without .blogspot in the URL).

I'm working on my HTML and flashwork, I really am not too excited about the flash part, but its definitely a needed skill for websites anymore.
