New DGP Website is Launched!

Finally!

After a lot of hard work, our new website is launched and we would love your opinion - especially as we now have the ability to add images easily and frequently - whether from travels around the world or editorial work in the entertainment industry or the fine art and books that are now available for purchase.

Over the years, we have been invited into your homes and businesses and to your special or family events and occasions to capture images that represent who you are and what you do in the ordinary and extraordinary aspects of your life.

We have designed the site so that you will be able to share future photographic experiences that we capture for you with your family, friends and colleagues more easily online as well as order those images that you want to display.

After 27 years in the business, many of you have asked me how to take better images yourself in addition to using our services for really important moments in your lives. We heard you and are thrilled to announce DGP photography coaching services. While my class at UC Irvine offers a way for you to learn how to take better people pictures using your own camera, many of you have asked for additional "one on one" help to become better photographers yourselves. DGP now offers private and semi-private coaching in a single session or a series. It's a really great gift for the photography enthusiast in your life!

My intention for this site is also to engage you in a conversation about photography - whether as part of this blog or in a class, as your coach or on one of the photography tours that we will launch in 2008. I want you to feel comfortable connecting with me about your questions - from technical questions about your own images to those about the industry in general.

I remain as passionate about being an image-maker today as when I first began. My hope is that you will be inspired to visit our site again and again and that you will consider Doug Gifford Photography for your photographic needs for many years to come.

Let me know what you think!

Cheers!

Doug
