Barbara Moore is a internationally recognized
photographer in the contemporary art world. She
has been producing works during the last
decades and has managed to create a vast
collection which is also diverse concerning
thematic approach. Moore is an artist able to use
a b ro a d r a n g e o f t e c h n i q u e s a n d a r t i s t i c
expressions, never shy to experiment and seize
any opportunity to depict moments that pose
both artistic and conceptual interest in order to
create a complete final result.


One of the most visually striking and masterful
skills of Moore's photography is the way that she
depicts landscapes, a theme common in
photographers but through her eyes and pictures
transforms into a majestic display of the splendor
that surrounds us. Moore seizes the opportunity
of taking a picture which is at the same time raw
and beautiful but also extremely well defined and
composed, making excellent use of artistic


elements to become something more than a
documentary nature photographer.

Barbara Moore's skillful use of light creates
dramatic results, that remind the viewer that
beauty is something that often needs search and
devoted research to uncover and manifest.
Throughout her work light is not only a tool to
handle the theme artistically and manage to
carefully structure the picture, but it is also a way
to convey the atmosphere of the given
landscape. No matter if it is a cold and icy forest,
a calm sea or a crystal-clear spring day, light is
always present as an element that underlines the
picture and enhances its mood and overall
aesthetic. It is a way of conceptualizing light into a
force that conveys emotions. Thus it becomes
one of the protagonists in Moore's work, a
character that manages to remain silent and at
the same prominent in the virtuosic way that she
approaches landscapes.

”Wherever your eyes can go, there’s a picture” - Barbara Moore
