Hello my name is Gregory Moore I am a 30-year-old Photographer from Long Island, New York. I started taking photos of my friends skateboarding in 2013 and I instantly fell in love with taking pictures and capturing these moments in time. Quickly I went from wanting to take pictures of skateboarding to just taking candid pictures of people in Manhattan or pictures of flowers, bugs, and more. Photography ironically gave me the ability to see, not just seeing things but the ability to see the little details that people wouldn’t notice or even see a whole story playing out in the most simplest of scenes but I’m able to find a deeper meaning to it. I’m happy to have one passion like skateboarding lead me to my other passion which is photography because it shows me that life has endless opportunities for you. Just when you think you know what you’re doing or where you’re headed – life can bring you to an even better path and give you a better purpose, and I’m still keeping my eyes open for the next path life takes me on.
