I am a commercial advertising, lifestyle and sports photographer and I love everything about photography.

I felt as if my presence on the internet should expand because I have so much to share.

Meet Dwayne is my show coming Monday March 29th, 2010 (write it in your calendar) to bring to you, inspiration for doing what you love doing; because you love doing it.

I created, “Meet Dwayne“, to welcome you into my life with video for you to understand why I do what I do.

I am an artist. I feel as if art is about the artist and what’s going on in the mind. It’s about sharing the messages of the artist’s ideas to communicate with an audience.

When thinking about what exactly I want Meet Dwayne to display I decided, the show is not going to be one to show how to use the camera or showing off what’s in my camera bag.

I leave that for well known photographers to share with you and I.

In this show I am showing the making of that well known photographer with creditability and status to create those shows.

The Meet Dwayne show will:

- Help you understand me.

- Help you realize why I am extremely passionate about my photography.

- Show you that I am “normal”, “average guy” but I come with a fuck load of ambition.

Hopefully the show will inspire you.

My Past Week In Photographs

(About to go to bed in the early a.m. falling asleep in the work clothes. This explains why my the next photograph, your sunrise, is and looks like my sunset.)

(Awake early in the a.m. and saw a photo opp so I captured it.)

(Let the day begin!!!!) / (When I look at my photographs I get a feeling that I can’t explain; well I could but you wouldn’t understand me. From 2007 I’ve been wanting to get the feeling that I got from this photograph when I nailed the style of the colors I wanted.)

(Remember the Pet Photography Project? We have to make small legal hustle somehow!)

(Stopped to chill for a bit and drop a hello to the staff at my favorite stake shop; Zumiez!)

(Totally Random but I want to share with you.)

(MIA skate-park in Miami, Florida is one of my favorite places to skateboard in Miami. After I am done skating I take some photographs of the skaters to help me develop an eye because I am aiming to shoot for Thrasher Magazine and Skateboarding Magazine. Besides, you can tell from the photographs that we always have a great vibe and great sessions at the park so I must document that.)

(Look at who is on the blog! That’s my sister Katrina Lomidze from the personal and make-up blog KatrinaLomidze.com She, the Fam (Jerrid and Baby JJ) and I went to dinner at Raphael’s; my favorite restaurant on South Beach for mussels and pasta!)

(Shay, Stevie and I. They are two beautiful models from the shoot I did on Thursday and Friday with the Photographer I looked up to from I was a kid, Scott Kelby!)

(That’s Mr. Kelby in the background not holding a big Oreo, but instead a grid He was explaining what it was for and when to use one for one of his new videos! Check out his post from behind the scenes in Miami with me, click here. – P.S. Jerrid from the Fam is the model in the first image of that post.)

More to come..

GG

GG is a Venezuelan born Pop Art Artist. At eleven years old, he moved to the United States, making Miami, Florida his residence. Since childhood, he was a very creative person, involved in different Art events or anything associated with creativity and entertainment. It wasn’t until his high school years that he decided to invest ALL of his energy and creativity into ART. He started experimenting with drawings and then took on painting, Unsure of what style of painting to follow, he was soon drawn into POP ART, with a goal to be one of the best known pop art artists. GG continues his art studies at Miami International University’s of Art and Design in Miami, Florida. His work is based on a way of expression using characters, symbols and shapes, evolving into his many creations over the years. His inspiration springs from personal life experiences, feelings, emotions, goals and events that affect our environment in a negative or positive way. GG’s art work has been displayed for the last two years in a number of art galleries. He has been an eager participant in different fund raising events and exhibits.

His website is still in progress but when it’s ready I will slip it in a post here on the blog.

GG’s work is amazing! He’s going to be doing some work for my place in Miami for 2010 can’t wait.

Below is some shots from the exhibit I wanted to share with you. In 2010 GG and I are collaborating to create some creative historic pieces of art.

This is one of the funny videos that I see and I say to myself why didn’t I think of that first with my friends; you will get a great laugh out of this video. I saw it posted on Scott Kelby’s blog.

Joey L.,

I think we are going to have to do a remix LMAO; I will tell you like Scott did, if you get offended by obscenity then don’t watch the video.

It was great this is a short post I don’t ever post on Sundays, tons of photo to share and will tell you here to look at them later hope to see you back at the blog.

I am on the mission to being the best photographer in the world; to do that I must reach my personal best.

The photographs below I took over the last few days. I haven’t been writing but I have been reading the articles in my groups keeping up with the people that love my work the most and sharing updates via my twitter and my dailybooth. My business partner and I have been meeting our mile stones boosting us tremendously. We are on a mission to connect our appreciation and love for photography with other photographers across the world.

Planning Photo Shoot For GoldSaturn!

Artvers!

Yesterday for DailyBooth Wednesday / Keeping Up With DwayneTucker.com,  I posted that photograph shown above. I am holding up my brainstorming for GoldSaturn; I am so excited to be the first photographer shooting for the modern, hipster clothing company. David Jon Acosta, (Founder and Designer of GoldSaturn) is an awesome guy! He has a passion for fashion and I passionate about my photography; this project is going to awesome! I will keep you posted on the progress. To visit GoldSaturn, [The Link].

My visit in the Booth yesterday was short. Despite that, I am happy I spoke with a few Boothers (members of DailyBooth); I met some cool new people loving photography as well. Btw I love DailyBooth so much because it’s a GREAT designed website for people to share their photos and document their lives in pictures. Here on the blog, I want to give a special shout-out to one of my favorite Boother friends, @jazzie ; She’s such a sweet and caring person. Jazzie I am going to embarrass you right now. Artvers, when I say she has an amazing voice, she has a super awesome voice. Jazzie, I can’t wait until I start shooting your concerts!
