Josh Gooden - Cinematographer/Director & Professional Photographer

I have directed and edited short films, commercials, music videos, weddings, and fashion photography both nationally and internationally.

In 2007 I won an international award from "The Technology Student Association for my short film, "Life."

In 2008, I made an award winning PSA about alcohol awareness that aired across the state of Virgina.

In 2009, world-renowned camera accessory manufacturer, Zacuto, recognized me for my commercial work and I was awarded their highly honored Z-Kudos award.

I bring a real passion, energy and dedication to your project no matter how big or small it is. I will always deliver the absolute best that I can every single time.

I have embraced the high definition market with full HD resolution Sony Cinema Alta XDcam cameras and 35mm adapters, which replicate the look of film. The "film look" uses 35mm Nikon and Zeiss lenses to create selective focus much like one would see only in cinema or high-end television. To further my cinematic look, I utilize a Steadicam, which allows me to freely walk around with the camera attached to me via a vest and arm without any visible shake. They are usually used in bigger productions because it requires little set up time unlike the traditional dolly and track. I am one of a select few of operators in Virginia, so this type of technology will greatly increase production value. I also utilize an Arri lighting package, a full audio kit, dolly, slider, and more.

My recent work includes films for Panera Bread, Where To Get Engaged Inc, Charles Green, Christopher William Jewelers, Crosskeys Vineyards, Bravo Italian Restaurant, Rocky's Gold and Silver, Throne Magazine, and the Pure Water Forum.
