Meet Roxy Moure | Photo + Video Documentarian

We had the good fortune of connecting with Roxy Moure and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Roxy, why did you pursue a creative career?
For me it comes down to people and it always will. I love people, i love being in relationship with people and i love getting to document that. There’s something about the synergy of finding creative partners that allow room for collaboration and exploration and, i’ve been in this career for about twelve years now, but i think i’ve been finding that at the end of the day, i love stories. I love reading novels and watching movies and looking at photographs that move me and i think i wanted to have a part in that– to create visual pieces of art that evoke emotions in people in order to tell a piece of someone’s story or in order to bring someone’s artistry to the forefront. I want to document that. This takes a lot of trust and vulnerability from people on both sides of the camera but when you unlock that, magic can happen.

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
this feels like it could be a long story, so i’ll try and keep it short. I started my creative journey of sorts twelve years ago working for a wedding photographer down in miami florida where i grew up. I was always drawn to live music so that’s the path i embarked on when I first got started; trying to photograph every concert that i could. I moved to atlanta right after college and the dream was to be on tour and become a touring photographer. I eventually was able to do that and then the pandemic kind of halted everything for a bit but that’s really where i was able to hone in on video editing since everything kind of went online. I’d like to think that i found my voice and style really in photographing live music and shows in a space that feels very oversaturated and difficult to break into. During the past few years, i’ve been able to flex my video muscle a little bit more in creating sort of mini docs for a few artists and i’ve truly found a passion in that medium (it’s funny because i resisted doing video for so long and now it’s becoming one of the more fulfilling things about my job.) I guess one thing i’ve learned is that it’s never too late to expand and explore other mediums of storytelling. Find what you’re passionate about, find the story you want to tell and figure out how you want to tell it.

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
this is probably going to be the most boring answer you’ll ever get haha. I tour a lot for work and am around a lot of loud environments and the idea of a fun time with friends for me is having them over at my house and making a meal together. Maybe we sit on the couch for a few hours and chat or read a book side by side or watch a movie. im very specific about scents and lighting in my home so i’d probably have some incense or a candle burning and all the overhead lights turned off– it’s a small light type of home for me. so yeah, that’s the idea of the best time ever for me.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
