This episode is extra special since I got to interview a good friend, an exceptional mentor, and someone I look up to—Si Moore. Truth be told, it’s hard to run out of compliments when describing Si. Loving, generous, genius, film guru, wonderful friend, craftsman, butterfly breeder, lover of fine things, and overall beautiful man, Si is all that and then some.
Si is in a league of his own. One half of the New Zealand-based photography duo Bayly & Moore, he has almost a decade’s worth of experience travelling the globe and shooting people in love. A Rangefinder NYC awardee, Si has a deep passion and attraction for analogue photography.
In this episode, I was treated to some sort of masterclass as Si generously and candidly shared his thoughts and insights on various topics—life, work, photography, relationships, and the fascinating creative diet. I hope you’ll enjoy this episode as much as I did!
