Rachel Moseley
Artist Statement
"The goal of my work is to capture my subject at a reflective moment of insight. Intimate conversation is used to facilitate personal examination of long held or unexamined experiences. Rather than posing a model while I photograph reference, I engage my subjects in conversation and shoot candidly. Through this process I hope to capture the moments of truth that happen through storytelling, by being a compassionate listener and giving my subjects the opportunity to examine an experience."
