Casey Moore

In this episode of the Seeing series, Carrie chats with Casey Moore, a British / NZ photographer based in London and Melbourne. Casey is renowned for his evocative large-scale images that explore the natural world, patterns, and interconnectedness. Moore’s work is characterized by meticulous compositions that capture the sublime beauty of nature, drawing inspiration from diverse landscapes such as New Zealand’s wilderness, the Austrian Alps, and the UK’s rolling hills. His approach echoes the spirit of 19th-century painters and pioneering photographers like Carleton Watkins and Ansel Adams, aiming to evoke a sense of wonder and connection to the natural world.From Carrie: "Casey Moore is a photographer I didn't really want to work with. Terrible, I know, but the truth. And then during lockdown he and I had a conversation on Zoom when I was more open to being able to listen and to look and I saw something extraordinary in this work and it's something that just kept me and sustained me for the last four years because Casey captures beauty in a forensic way. And I mean that literally, he uses these really beautiful techniques to grab nature from the world around him and make as look at it.Now, some people I think like me at the start dismiss this beauty and dismiss his work, but that's a mistake because he is offering us so much depth and his work is singular in that way. It's unparalleled. And yes, it looks beautiful on your walls,but there's a bigger message at play. Take the time to take my horse's mouth as it were. Listen to Casey describe his work and I think you'll see exactly what I'm saying. And then take the time to look closely at his images. There's so much tothem."Thanks for listening to this episode of the Seen podcast. Liked what you heard?
