Winter holiday through a photographer’s lens
Updated on 04.12.2017 in Family
New Zealand native Casey Moore lives in East Sussex, England, where he works as a photographer. As a youngster he taught himself the art of photography and spent many hours honing his skills in the darkroom. For his large-scale exhibition images he still uses traditional analogue methods and develops each photo by hand. When it comes to his work, he draws inspiration from a quote by the surrealist Roger Caillos: "Without humanity, there remains aesthetic. It is nature itself that dictates human aesthetics and imagination."
The following series of photos were all shot on analogue 35mm film by Casey during a family holiday in Pertisau am Achensee with his wife Claire Alexander and their three children Luca, Willow and Ren (aged 8, 7 & 2). This was the first time the whole family had gone skiing and he said of Pertisau: „I have skied in many many different countries but I cannot imagine a better place to take the family for their first ski holiday. Pertisau really was the perfect place to get the kids in love with the mountains.“
