Casey Moore

Casey Moore is a British / NZ photographer based in London and Melbourne.

Born in Invercargill, New Zealand, but raised from the age of three in Switzerland and later London, Moore’s work explores narratives tied to the natural world, pattern and connectivity.

Through his lens, the photographer extracts pinpoint detail to build images bursting with the weight of their parts. Just as eighteenth and nineteenth century painters searched for the sublime, as did so many of the pioneering photographers like Carlton Watkins and Ansel Adams, Moore’s compositions capture the epic enormity of nature with a precision that is almost surreal and in turn, create a sense of the sublime that is unparalleled.

Educated at Edinburgh University with a Masters in Psychology, Moore is self taught as a photographer. A strong physical connection to materials and chemistry also runs through his practice. Moore will often use analog methods for capturing and printing his photographs and then massages the large-scale prints by hand through chemical baths. This physicality has become integral to his work, and is reflected in the bodily experience of viewing his photographs.

Moore is represented by FHE Galleries in New Zealand and Carrie Scott and Partners in the UK. He has exhibited internationally and his work is housed in private collections in the UK, NZ, Australia, US, Russia and Europe.
