Raymond Moore's Uncertain Places

June 28, 2022

My new article about the photographer Raymond Moore has just been published in the journal Photographies, Vol. 15, No.2. Here is part of the abstract: ‘This article examines the work of late British photographer Raymond Moore (1920–1987) and the ways in which his images of landscapes and objects allow us to understand his work as being driven towards encounters with what I term uncertain places, which is to say places in transition or between states of being that also point the observer of these images to that which lies beyond even photographically-aided perception. ’ To access the article in PDF or EPUB formats follow this link:

The article was originally a bit more biographical in nature, but this was not what the journal was really interested in. Some parts of the original version were posted here last year. See: ‘Raymond Moore on the Threshold’.

Reviews

‘In these domestic travel writings, reminiscent of Jonathan Raban or Iain Sinclair, John Scanlan tours West Cumbria, framing its history in stark contrast to the “other Cumbria” of the Lake District. Without pretence to immutability, he finds West Cumbria to be dynamic, having always ‘pointed itself towards the future through industrial change and both in and out migration.’ — Cumbria Life magazine.

‘Does a remarkable job in capturing the essence of this region’ —Tidelines magazine
