Goode Performance

The first cast photo for Dept. Q series 2 has been released, along with finally more information about the series 2 cast.

Matthew Goode! Aaron McVeigh! Definitely NOT Rebus!

Got to watch MG being filmed getting in and out of a car umpteen times. AMcV was also there in Jasper’s classic school uniform look.

Please enjoy these terrible photographs — if you use a magnifying glass (microscope??) you may be able to make out MG and AMcV.

One of my favorite series of photos of Matthew Goode, taken by photographer and journalist Rick McGinnis back in 2008 to promote 'Brideshead Revisited'. In the provided link, he wrote a blog post in 2017 reflecting on his experiences photographing Matthew Goode and Hayley Atwell. Plus he includes his sentiments about how Matthew performed as Antony Armstrong-Jones/Lord Snowden on 'The Crown', and how it portrayed the world of photography. I also enjoyed how photography was portrayed in 'The Crown', and I was geeking out over the Leica and the dark room scene. Though, on top of that, the onscreen chemistry shown between A A-J and Princess Margaret was palpable and was an experience of frisson for me.

The way that Matthew performed A A-J was stellar, and it's no wonder he was nominated for an Emmy (should have gotten it). His voice, cadence, movements, and containment of emotion playing off with Vanessa Kirby's performance as Princess Margaret was an electric experience for me. Back to McGinnis' blog post..... He makes valid points about how the art and the process of photography is portrayed. A couple of things to note is that developing photos on your own in the dark room takes much longer than what is shown onscreen, and the process is much more involved. Chemical reactions to take what's on the film to the enlarger take a while. All other things aside, I do think the results of the photo shoot that McGinnis did in 2008 came out brilliantly.
