Curtis Moore's career in photography began over ten years ago. With a love
for cinema and documentaries, he was immediately drawn to the unique
storytelling opportunities that came with wedding photography. He has
studied alongside many of the industry's greats, including Mike Colon,
Cliff Mautner, Lanny and Erika from TwoMann Studios, and Ben and Erin
Chrisman.
Curtis is now a celebrated photographer himself, with a list of accolades
and awards including 2016 PWPC Photographer of the year, Fearless Awards and JuneBug Best of the Best.
Armed with a lust for life, his keen curiosity and boldness enable him to
produce incredible storytelling imagery. Curtis' work abounds with
authenticity. He captures powerful moments with great emotional depth,
unique shots with shocking comedic value, and every beautiful moment in
between, with ease and greatness. |
