Garry Moore commenced his creative journey studying a BA in Photography at RMIT University in 1981. He then went on to work as an assistant for many of Australia’s top advertising and commercial photographers.
He began his own professional career in 1985 and has worked nationally and internationally for many of the worlds top corporations and advertising agencies. Through this career of close to 40 years, Garry has developed a skill set that few possess. With the first half of his career being centered on film as the material for photographic work, Garry has an expansive understanding of this medium. He has an equivalent mastery of the digital medium as a material practice also.
Garrys career has encompassed a broad range of styles and disciplines. Working mainly with people and location for the first seven years of his career, everything changed when an opportunity opened that resulted in Garry becoming one of Australia’s premier automotive photographers. This specialty led to work throughout Australia, New Zealand and India. However after the GFC of 2008, the car industry within Australia died an uneasy death. Faced with the demise of his main source of work, Garry reinvented himself as a lifestyle/people photographer. He is now one of Australia’s most sought after photographers of this genre. Perhaps it is Garrys ability to move with the times, to move stylistically while remaining current, to consistently deliver quality imagery and to continue to create contemporary imagery, that has ensured Garry remains one of Australia’s premier photographers.
In 1998, Garry and his wife and business partner Veronica, began the production agency Miss Bossy Boots. Representing Australian and International photographers, stylists and hair and make-up artists as well as producing a broad range of campaigns across multiple disciplines. Miss Bossy Boots is now one of Australia’s premier production companies for photographic, styling and hair and make-up assignments.
During this long career, Garry has always maintained a strong drive to explore and expand an Art practice within his photography. After becoming one of the winners of the MAMA National Photography Prize 2016, Garry decided to pursue a more formal Fine Art practice. He consequently enrolled in The Master of Fine Art program at RMIT (Graduated 2018). Garry’s practice now incorporates sculpture, video, sound and installation as methodologies, in conjunction with his existing photographic practice. Added to this, Garry has applied for and been successful in attaining multiple exhibitions for his art work. To learn more about Garry’s art practice, read his Artist CV.
