"I'm always celebrating what's in front of the lens." - Casey Moore

Casey Moore is a London-based photographer. Born in Invercargill, New Zealand and raised from the age of three in Switzerland and later London, Moore has kept a narrative of connection with his various homelands running through his work.

This narrative is apparent in the way Moore photographs his subjects with a careful consideration of place. The works in his botanical series were taken in situ in the Fiordlands of the South Island, while his photographs of native New Zealand insects were taken in the British Museum: mirroring his own position as an Antipodean transplant in London. T.J McNamara, of The N Z Herald, describes the work as ‘brilliantly revealing, all having a special place in our fauna and imagination”.

A deep connection to materials is also woven through Moore's practice. He uses primarily analog methods for capturing and printing his photographs, and 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.
