I do remember the empty spaces devoid of any human presence in the late 70s and the early 80s, as I used to go and take photographs of landscape and man made objects around Manchester and its vicinities. Those places Mr Moore used to roam around reminded me of that period. Alas no more. People, cars, car parks, supermarkets, etc etc.

Hey David, whom is the lady in this video? I really like her photos, cant seem to find where this she is introduced

All the advice you get these days on, how to improve your photography. Just go out and photograph.

Shoot the piano player !

I'm not familiar with his work, and will find out more (pun intended ☺️).

That Nikkormat's shutter sound so not like a SLR, more like a rangefinder's shutter sound.

Why are there legal issues holding back this man’s work? Time we knew, and time it ended.

It’s a real shame that you can’t find his work as easily as you can with, say, Bresson. His work is fantastically somber, and I really enjoy it. He and Perkis. I wonder WHY there is a legal hold on his work being shown?

I think it's time for a new publication, a complete retrospective, on Moore's work.

"The visual world is so absolutely crammed full of wonderful, magical things, which are just asking to be looked at." Beautifully said.

The modesty is seductive

I can not get enough of this small Raymond Moore doco. It's so addictive to watch and rewatch. His images are kind of empty and lonely yet is so full of mood and emotion. I can not get enough of Raymond Moore. Nikkormat proves yuou don't need a $5000 Leica or expensive lenses or gear to make truly remarkable photos. Raymond Moore is up there with William eggleston as who inspire me. The Bressons , R Frank of the world are just too famous for me.

The good old days when photographers printed 10 x 8" and not 48 x 36".

The unmistakeable thwack of the Nikkormat's Copal shutter. Why is Raymond shooting in 35mm but the images on screen are 4 x 3 format?

Raymond, is a profound inspiration. Longing for a big book of all his work, everyone needs to see it. Bluecoat Press would be ideal.

thanks for uploading this. I have been trying to find out how I can use some of Raymond Moore's photos for a book publication, but I don't know who to contact. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

What's interesting about this film is one sees Moore, one of the Gods of British photography, casually strolling around snapping away with a Nikkormat, which was a poor man's Nikon back in the day. Further proof that it's not about the gear, it's the brain behind it that counts.

Pity the video is such poor quality, but I am grateful for anything on this great photographer.

Wonderful. So pleased to have found this.

I really love the work of Raymond Moore and this brings home the slight sadness one feels that he should be more touted as a key figure in the development of independent British photography. Great insights from Ray and his partner about his work and some plangent, modernist music to accompany the film.

One of the greats of British photography. You can see his influence on todays photographers, even if his name is not as well known as it should be.

Excellent documentary of one of the important british photographers in the 80s. Heavily influenced my work. Surprised there arn't any good videos on Minor White.
