What is your background; how did you get started?\u003C/strong>\u003Cbr>\nI got started as a photographer 12 years ago when I was an art major. I would always need someone to photograph my work but they were unreliable. So I bought some camera gear and started loving the process.\u003C/p>\n\u003Cp>\u003Cstrong>2. How important is it for a photographer to \"connect\" with their subject?\u003C/strong>\u003Cbr>\nI believe it’s very important to have a connection with your subject. It's almost like dating. You want to get know the person, not the representative, lol. I ultimately think it's not our job to put the subject at ease. I think they just present themselves and then it clicks naturally.\u003C/p>\n\u003Cp>\u003Cstrong>3. What has been a formative experience or the best advice you’ve received within your career?\u003C/strong>\u003Cbr>\nSimplicity can speak volumes in an image.\u003C/p>\n\u003Cp>\u003Cstrong>4. In what ways does your work reflect your personality?\u003C/strong>\u003Cbr>\nI'm a real fanatic over lighting. Natural or artificial. I lived a lot of years battling depression, so where I can accentuate light, that’s the positive side of my personality.\u003C/p>\n\u003Cp>\u003Cstrong>5. Creative blocks, do you get them? If so, how do you overcome them?\u003C/strong>\u003Cbr>\nWoah!!!! Yes, I do. I usually get frustrated at first and then wait till inspiration finds me. So I always keep a camera or cell phone at the ready.\u003C/p>\n\u003Cp>\u003Cstrong>6. What is your most indispensable tool? \u003C/strong>\u003Cem>(Not counting the obvious, like paints, brushes, canvas, camera, etc.)\u003C/em>\u003Cbr>\nAs an artist, all of them. But as a photographer in particular, it would be my wife, who is my biggest supporter. And dusk. That time of day for some reason brings out the best in what I do.\u003C/p>\n\u003Cp>\u003Cstrong>7. Do you have a new project you are working on, or a new passionate idea?\u003C/strong>\u003Cbr>\nI'm running a YouTube channel called Somewhere in America Wil Moore. I'm also starting a co-op of photographers and artists alike, in which I've declared 2021 my year to share my knowledge of photography. I just finished my first music video for a friend of mine who's a music producer in upstate New York. The video features many of my images as well as footage that I shot.\u003C/p>\n\u003Cp>\u003Cstrong>8. What \"fad\" gadget do you most regret purchasing?\u003C/strong>\u003Cbr>\nI really can’t answer this because I'm so frugal I'll rent it first. If it stays in my bag or if I use it once, I won’t buy it. I've never had a lot of money to waste on gear or gadgets.\u003C/p>\n\u003Cp> \u003C/p>\n\u003Cp>\u003Cimg class=\"alignnone size-full wp-post-5062 wp-image-5069\" src=\"https://www3.framedestination.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/FD_Arties-8_July-2021_Wil-Moore_Hero-Img2-1.jpg\" alt=\"Wil Moore\">\u003C/p>\n\u003Cp>All artwork and/or photographs used in this post are subject to copyright held by the featured artist.\u003C/p>\n\u003Cp>\u003Cstrong>ARE YOU READY FOR THE SPOTLIGHT?\u003C/strong> Simply respond to the questionnaire \u003Ca href=\"https://www.framedestination.com/interviewform\">here\u003C/a> to apply to be included in an upcoming Artie’s Eight Spotlight.\u003C/p>\n\u003Cp> \u003C/p>\n\u003Cp>\u003Cstrong>Last Updated August 01, 2021\u003C/strong>\u003C/p>\n","2021-08-02T10:11:58",[145],{"name":146,"slug":147},"Artie's Eight","arties-eight",{"url":149,"label":150},"https://frameblog.framedestination.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/FD_Arties-8_July-2021_Wil-Moore_Hero-Img-1.jpg","Wil Moore",{"name":152},"Artie The Panda",{"title":154,"metaDesc":155,"metaKeywords":156,"canonical":157,"schema":158},"Meet Photographer Wil Moor & Learn About the Power of Simplicity - Frame Destination","In this weeks artist spotlight we dive into the power of simplicity with Photographer Wil Moore.
