Jeremy Moore

Jeremy Moore is a photographer based near Aberystwyth in mid -Wales. He has been fully professional since the early 1990's. For many years he specialised in the Welsh landscape and has been publishing his Wild Wales / Cymru Wyllt postcards since 1987 - that's for the last 33 years!  He has always had an interest in wildlife, however, and more recently began incorporating wildlife into his images. His exhibition Bird / Land featured birds within the landscapes that they inhabit and has been shown in several galleries in Wales since 2015, with Welsh Arts Council support. Limited Edition Prints from Bird / Land are still available from Jeremy Moore directly. His other work has also been regularly exhibited in Wales over the years.

A series of books been published under his own name since 1997, beginning with Wales - the Lie of the Land. The most recent was Wales - At Waters Edge which was published to co-inside with the opening of the Wales Coastal Path in 2012. He has worked alongside several well-known Welsh authors in his books, notably Trevor Fishlock and Jon Gower. He has been "Highly Commended" three times in the British Wildlife Photography Awards. The National Library of Wales in Aberystwyth has many his prints in its Collection which are available for the public to view, and it is hoped that they will eventually show a retrospective of his work. He has been described by their Curator of Photographs as "Wales leading environmental photographer".

As a wildlife photographer he admires the work of many of his contemporaries, but he has also been inspired by the artist/illustrator Michael Warren and the "Rakusan Kachou Gafu” - bird and flower wood block prints by the Japanese artist Rakusan Tsuchiya, particularly in his Bird/land series.

Before he became a full-time photographer he worked in conservation, and he has maintained an interest in the environment all his life. It has become more and more difficult to earn a living from photography in recent years so he is currently more active in the voluntary environmental movement. With so many threats facing life on earth it now seems more important to play a part in saving the planet than producing yet more photographs.
