Raymond Moore (1920 – 1987) was a post-war English art photographer. Born in Wallasey, then part of Cheshire, he served in the RAF and then trained as a painter at the Royal College of Art. After graduating, he was asked to set up a photography department at Watford College. Moore became interested in photography at a time when photography was still viewed in Britain as an undistinguished craft rather than a serious art form. Influenced by some of the images in Hugo van Wadenoyen's seminal 1947 Wayside Snapshots book - a book which marked the start of the decisive British break with Pictorialism - Moore began to see fresh possibilities in the composition & framing of everyday English landscapes. Moore went on to create black & white fine art photographs; having his first solo gallery show

  • Raymond Moore (1920 - 1987) fue un fotógrafo inglés que contribuyó a la valoración de la fotografía como arte. Nació en Wallasey que en esa época pertenecía al condado de Cheshire, su padre que era arquitecto y su abuelo eran aficionados a la fotografía.​ Durante la segunda guerra mundial estuvo enrolado en la Royal Air Force y al finalizar estudió pintura en el Royal College of Art lo que le permitió enseñar fotografía en el Watford College cuando se graduó. En aquella época la fotografía no tenía la consideración de arte comercializable con excepción de su venta como antigüedades ya que las ideas dominantes eran de tipo pictorialista y la fotografía era una imitación de lo pictórico. Sin embargo, de acuerdo con los planteamientos aportados por y otros fotógrafos británicos comenzó un proceso de ruptura con el pictorialismo similar al planteado por otros movimientos como la fotografía subjetiva. Las fotografías de su primera exposición en solitario de 1959 eran en blanco y negro y su tema principal trataba sobre los paisajes de Gran Bretaña. Durante 1968 estuvo visitando los Estados Unidos y trabajó con Minor White en el Instituto de Tecnología de Massachusetts, en esta estancia pudo conocer el trabajo de Harry Callahan y Aaron Siskind que tuvo cierta influencia en su obra posterior, dos años después realizó un importante exposición en el Instituto de Arte de Chicago. En 1976 realizó su exposición más valorada ya que supuso un reconocimiento a su labor a favor de la consideración artística de la fotografía, esta exposición denominada como Three perspectives on Photogarphy (Tres perspectivas en fotografía se realizó en la galería de arte The Hayward.​ Aunque las publicaciones sobre su trabajo no son muy numerosas se puede citar las siguientes: * Photographs que es una publicación de 1968 del Welsh Arts Council. * Murmurs at Every Turn: The Photographs of Raymond Moore, publicado por Travelling Light en 1981. * Every So Often: Photographs, publicado por la BBC en 1983 y que adjuntaba un reportaje televisivo sobre Moore. * 49 Prints, publicado por el British Council en 1986.

Moore went on to create black & white fine art photographs; having his first solo gallery show in 1959. He continued teaching for most of his life, and he is widely regarded as one of the great teachers. Visiting the U.S. in 1968, he worked with photographer Minor White at MIT and was influenced by Harry Callahan and Aaron Siskind. He had his first major solo show in 1970 at the Art Institute of Chicago. In 1974 he became a lecturer at the influential Trent Polytechnic, Nottingham, but left in 1978 to pursue his own creative work in Cumbria. From around 1976 the climate in England slowly began to change in favour of art photography; and so Moore finally saw acclaim in his own country with a major London retrospective show at the Hayward Gallery, the publication of a strong book collection of his photography, and a BBC television documentary about his work. Moore's influential work has now been out-of-print for more than twenty years. (en)
