Raymond Moore - His archive remains in a vault.

THIS VIDEO: Raymond Moore has been described as one of the great British photographers of the 20th century, producing work between the 1950s and 1980s. Soon after he died in 1987, his work disappeared from public view because of a legal and financial battle between his widow, an auction house and a financial institution. Looking at his work now, it still has a contemporary feel, because he was primarily interested in seeing rather than documenting. He’s the type of figure who could have experienced a revival similar to Vivian Maier or Saul Leiter, but because his work can’t be seen, researched or exhibited, it’s unlikely this will ever happen. Some of his pictures suggest parallels with the New Topographic photographers, because he was drawn to the suburban edges that reveal the interface between nature and human presence. Americans seemed to understand Moore’s work better than his own countrymen. He travelled to the US and spent time with Minor White, Harry Callaghan and Aaron Sisskind. 1-on-1 MENTORING: https://graemewilliams.co.za/mentor-p...
