PHOTOGRAPHER, VISUAL ARTIST & METAPHYSICAL THEORIST

CURRENT PERSONAL PROJECT: THE FEEDBACK LOOP THEORY

‘NO ONE TO CHANGE BUT SELF’

NEVILLE GODDARD

WEBSITE CURRENTLY UPDATING DUE TO STUDIO RESTRUCTURING & DIVERSIFICATION

To diversify within my visual work/photography and collaborate with radically different clients, I’m fishing for any kind of commissions or day jobs (in all other industries, particularly academia, hospitality, travel, corporate events and major brands) here and abroad. Which will take elements of my previous music work and apply them in different and more fantastical ways.

I’m ultimately looking for a client that wants to take on an XX project within any of these areas, & all of those example pitches are detailed in the Sarah Ginn XX tabs. This kind of work is what I call ‘hyperbranding’ and although they use music acts as examples, they have an infinite number of applications for potential clients in other industries. Especially those who are looking for a fully collaborative visual project with added academic theory.

My main personal project while I restructure the studio & build and entirely new client base, will be continuing to write ‘The Feedback Loop Theory’ which will be my second book. This will carry on my music related work via theory writing only, after my forced retirement from music photography. This is largely due to pre-filing a civil IPEC case against Sub Focus’s management (Worship Artists), which unfortunately resulted in an industry blacklisting & serious intimidation incidents (since March 2023). Subsequently, it has become too unsafe to continue shooting music.

Compounding this incident, it’s also been made extremely difficult for me to gain any work since 2020. Which is mainly down to discriminatory gatekeeping, implemented by the media teams at electronic music events. Which is now the current preferred business model, rather than promotors hiring multiple individual shooters. Visual work at this present time will be trying out various experimental processes instead, to improve my professional development. Those will be shown in the Personal section of this site, so please check back periodically.

‘The Feedback Loop Theory’ essay I’m concentrating on now in this interim period, is also available in The Theories tab for anyone to view until it is completed. I particularly welcome academic feedback and work opportunities from universities and research institutions interested in this work. Due to putting all my energy into it currently, which has been really enjoyable and a very positive move, two new chapters have been added in the last month for you to read (Jan 26). As I’ve been out of work for an extended period of time due to the circumstances listed above, I welcome all enquiries of employment.

My historical music photography work from the last 15 years is available in print form, via the books below.
