Driven by a passion for travel, my interest lies in nature and landscape photography.

   My goal is to capture a still image that accurately conveys the spirit and drama of the landscape. Unlike the precise control of studio photography, nature photography places me at complete mercy of the land: the weather, the light, and the subject matter. While mostly I work to transform these variables into a powerful experience, I thrive for the fleeting moments when the elements of a great photo fall into place naturally. Photography has given me a deeper appreciation for these elements, and respect for the mystical forces of nature that allow such harmony to occur.

   In the words of Dorothea Lang,"The camera is an instrument that teaches us to see without a camera."

    Chris Moore was born and raised in New Orleans, Louisiana. He attended Jesuit High School, Rhodes College, and Louisiana State University School of Medicine. In 2005, Chris took in impulsive 6 week trip, alone, to Australia which inspired a fondness of travel, and has since been on many excursions around the globe, including one trip back to the South Pacific where he met his wife. Experiencing the mystic quality of nature first hand evolved into an interest in photography, where he continues to work at capturing the essence and spirit of nature.

       Chris lives in Orange Park, Florida, with his wife, Mehgan, and daughter, Katelyn. He is a member of the Nature Photographers Network, NatureScapes, North American Nature Photography Association, League of Creative Infrared Photographers, JaxArtists, and an active contributor to the Digital Grin photography forum. His photos have been featured on several sites including Earth Shots, Singh Ray, and NANPA.

    You may purchase high quality prints of all images contained within the site. Prints are handled by BayPhoto Professional Labs, and are printed on the highest quality paper, and individually color calibrated by hand prior to printing. I personally guarantee their quality. Currently we print using Kodak Supra Endura Paper, with a fingerprint-resistant finish of matte or metallic with vibrant colors. Selected prints are also available in float-mounted metal, thin wrap, and giclee canvas.

    Our highest quality print, MetalPrints, infuse dyes directly into specially coated aluminum sheets, creating truly archival works of art. These MetalPrints showcase a revolutionary new medium that is highly durable, waterproof, weatherproof, and ultra scratch-resistant. The high-gloss sheen gives your photos a vibrant luminescence with incredible detail and resolution.

    Each MetalPrint comes backed with two 3/4" thick lightweight foam blocks and aluminum plate with drilled holes for easy hanging. When hung, these stunning prints will float off the wall. Prices start at $199.

    I offer print sizes that I feel best represent the particular photo. I will gladly accept requests for alternative sizes, matting, and finish.

Matted and Signed Prints
All prints ordered from my Personal Favorites gallery will be matted and signed by me. A custom cut eggshell matte will be hand signed by me and included in your order. For metal and canvas prints, the signature will be on the back using indelible ink. Please note that matting adds between 6 and 10 inches in diameter to the print, and varies depending on the size requested. Please allow an additional two weeks for processing.
