""I started doing the sky images quite slowly, as I matured with making photos and got bored with waiting around for something to happen. Most of my images rely on someone else - typically my friends. I just had the thought, 'What has the same energy as an emotional portrait of a human subject?', and I figured the closest thing would be the stars.""
""For me, the camera is more important as a means by which to mediate the world around me rather than photography for photography's sake. I don't know if I've necessarily cared about photography as an art form, but more so a way to relate to the world and people.""
Chad Moore's photo book, Eyes and Skies, contrasts his typical portraits with images of sunsets, skylines, and close-ups of eyes. Both subjects evoke wonder and invite gazing. Moore finds a connection between the complexity of night skies and human portraits. He began photographing the sky during Covid, evolving from his previous work, Anybody Anyway. Moore views photography as a means to relate to the world rather than as an art form, seeking emotional resonance in both human subjects and celestial imagery.
