About Gary Moger
Biography
Gary is a British photographer based in the rugged, wild landscape of Cornwall.
Growing up in South London in the 70's and 80's, Gary toured the world with his parents who ran a travel company — developing an early passion for landscapes, exploration and the quietly extraordinary in everyday life. He studied photography while working as a bike mechanic and cycle courier in Covent Garden, before becoming assistant and studio manager to the late Patrick Lichfield at Lichfield Studios in Holland Park. It was here that Gary truly learnt his trade: shooting for major clients on location around the world, managing Lichfield's archive and working with many well-known figures from fashion, celebrity and culture.
A working professional photographer since 1996, Gary has photographed everything from the lost property department of the London Underground to fashion shoots in Mauritius — with clients including The Times, The National Trust, Elle Décoration, Marie Claire, Patagonia and Endemol, among many others.
At the heart of his practice, though, has always been his personal work. Minimal, isolated landscapes and the quiet details he notices in everyday life. Gary shoots on both film and digital, and follows the Magnum philosophy of never cropping an image. Each photograph is exactly as he saw it in the world, with nothing added.
Inspired by the natural environment and Cornwall's Atlantic coastline, where he has lived for over twenty years, Gary spends as much time as possible surfing and in the ocean. He has sold prints to collectors consistently throughout his career, with his images finding homes in collections around the world. He is now focused on collating his archive alongside new work to offer as fine art prints.
In an increasingly image-saturated world shaped by AI, Gary believes people will come to appreciate authentic, human-made photography more than ever — recognising its importance for wellbeing and our connection to each other and to nature. He finds himself more deeply engaged with his craft now than at any point in his career, staying true to what genuinely inspires.
