Raymond Moore

[@francescomussida]

Thank you for helping us to understand and explore these important photographers in such a profound way. Raymond Moore and Fay Godwin resonate strongly with my sensitivity to nature and the beauty that surrounds us. Thank you, the work you have done for this channel is almost unique, I agree with every word of your analysis and visual approach. We are immersed in a world of clones and visual poverty. Your work should be shown in all schools!

I love the narration and the photographic art that is being explained.....wonderful channel full of insight and inspiration. Thank you

A great call to include RM. The B&B image on reflection has stayed with me. I first saw it in CC in 1987 and it left an impression in a way I still cannot quite explain but it fits in with Moore's need to photograph at the edges of towns, never in the urban mix or in the wilderness.

Awesome channel! Thank you so much.

Thank to you sir, I have come to appreciate the beauty in the seemingly mundane photographs of the likes Raymond Moore and Robert Adams . These photographs remind me of a saying in my mother tongue Persian ( To Moo Mibini O Ma Peechesh e Moo ) which lietrally translates as , you just see the appearance of her hair, but I the way it curls. We ought to stop looking superficially at everything and use a bit of inisight. Thank you again.

Thanks for bringing Raymond Moore to my attention. Another great video. Thanks.

There was a large touring exhibition of Raymond Moore's work that I saw at Aberystwyth Arts Centre, late 80s/early 90s it must have been. I kept going back to it, the images fascinating. Since then, nothing because of the legal problem with his work. A couple of small books of his work were published, I think in the 60s and 70s, now long out of print. I feel he's a major photographer and it would be wonderful to have a top quality book collection of his photographs. I just hope that he isn't forgotten as the years go by. This video helps...many thanks.

What legal trouble?

[@nickfanzo]

I’ve been searching for months to see what is up with his works and the legal issues, nothing.

[@royfontaine5526]

@@nickfanzo there are things online - much of his works are locked away in Sotheby’s.

[@nickfanzo]

@@royfontaine5526 what things are online? Works? I know this I said I was trying to search online to see why his works were locked away and not allowed to be republished or shown, which is the issue currently. Any idea to why?

[@royfontaine5526]

@@nickfanzo Not specifically. My family used to know Ray and his family - I remember the house featured in this video vividly. But I don’t know the specific reasons and what I do know I cannot broadcast online or share. It’s a shame his works are under lock and key, though I guess it makes them all the more intriguing and valuable in that sense. It’s true his works didn’t get the wider recognition they deserve.

I wanted to point out in the graveyard photo, the shack seems to be translucent when the way the shadow is cast on it's wall, and the trees don't cask a shadow against it, you would kind of imagine that the shack would be cast in shadows but it's not. The sun seems to be coming from 9-10 o'clock to the left and just barely over the horizon. Very uncanny indeed.

Great presentation of an unjustly neglected photographer. Thank you!

[@FlosBlog]

The German word „unheimlich“ does mean uncanny, but it also signifies to be unhomely (heim = Home; heimlich = homely, belonging to the home)

[@nickfanzo]

Such a shame it’s so hard to find his works now.

Nice one.

Nice video! Keep it up.

[@borderlands6606]

Moore, in common with many British C20th photographers, was essentially a surrealist.

[@edwardalexander9486]

I think you mean a realist.

[@borderlands6606]

@@edwardalexander9486 Not really. British realism is associated with documentary or pseudo-documentary fiction. Moore was concerned with graphic juxtapositions and figures in space.

[@rembeadgc]

I look at these photos and wonder "How can I take photographs with more banality?" Though it seem ridiculous to entertain an answer, I think to myself "Stop caring so much about what you're photographing. Stop thinking about "that masterpiece" you're trying to make. Stop judging yourself."

[@gregderozier3846]

Simplistic slop.

[@edwardalexander9486]

Have to agree. The narration here does not do Raymond Moore justice - there are also a few other "experts" on YT who are also missing the point. Such a shame as when you see an original - it's mesmerising - no words needed.
