For while I've really wanted to start a series of portraits of Artist. There is something very serine about the art making process that isn't always visible. This is Jessica, an art student at Grace College.

Portrait: Holly

noreply@blogger.com (A. Moore Photography) — Tue, 27 Mar 2012 01:08:00 +0000

It was about 2 years ago when I photographed Holly for the first time. It was those photographs that started me on the path to the work I'm making now (inspired by the Kouros sculptures). Now that I'm where I am, I thought it would be interesting to photograph Holly again with the same studio setup.

Digital Photography is Unreliable

noreply@blogger.com (A. Moore Photography) — Wed, 07 Mar 2012 23:41:00 +0000

Digital photography is unreliable. By unreliable, I mean that it is constantly changing, which is a bad thing. Good photographs emerge from practiced methods of working. Without this, photography can never make the move from a simple toy to actual art. If you look at the work from the masters of photography, their collection of work was made on one camera system, with one or two film stocks.

To make good work, an artist of any medium must have a fluency with their tools and materials.

Indiana Landscape

noreply@blogger.com (A. Moore Photography) — Tue, 24 Jan 2012 02:16:00 +0000

I don't understand why people overlook the Indiana landscape so much. I think its the most beautiful place in the world.

It was a blast to get to photograph Clare last week in our abnormally warm weather that we were having. On a photo-nerd note, the color photographs are from the first set of color film that I developed myself.

"American Kouros Series" Model: Tabitha

noreply@blogger.com (A. Moore Photography) — Mon, 05 Dec 2011 06:09:00 +0000

Lately I've been working a lot with the idea of the Greek Kouros Sculptures. The Kouros were nude male sculptures that were portraying the idealized person in the Greek's mind, who was youthful, bold, and unashamed. My recent work, both sculpture and photography, have been revolving around the idea of what the American Kouros look like today.

I made these photographs a few months ago. This is a very different direction for me. I'm not sure where I will go with it from here, but I think these came out very well.

Here is some of my recent pottery. These pieces will be for sale at the Taylor University Art auction this weekend. I'm considering getting set up to start selling more pottery, possibly online. If you would be interested in purchasing my pottery, please comment on this post or send me an email so I can get an idea of the level of interest! Thanks!
