365 Photography Days Phil Gould launched his book 365 days of photography at Marwell over the weekend and the zoological park giraffe could not resist a quick preview! Visit Phil's website for a taster of the images which appear in the book. http://365photographydays.com/index.html
I have been doing photography for 28 yrs now and was born in Southampton,UK and lived in Awbridge until I was 16 years old before moving to N. Baddesley and owning Videomania for many years. How the book became reality ? Four years ago I was in a plane that crashed into the sea just off Hallo Bay in Alaska. The passengers all survived but having a near - death experience changes your view on life. Inspired by the movie of the same name, I put together a 'bucket list' of things to do and places to see before I die. I had dreamed for many years of travelling and seening the wonders of the world, so when I was made redundant I decided to go around the world in 365 days! 365 Photography Days is therefore the story of my adventures and, as a photographer, I set myself the challenge of taking a definitive image every day. Come and join me on my travels as, together, we explore the places I visited. Naturally I hope you enjoy the book as much as I enjoyed taking them. 365 Photography Days Tells the story of award-winning, freelance photographer Phil Gould, as he travels the globe in search of adventure. At the outset he sets himself the challenge of capturing a definitive image for each day, and these stunning photographs are accompanied by a journal-style commentary of the author s journey.
