Gabriel Moses was only eighteen when he received his first commission—from Nike. Since then the self-taught British Nigerian photographer has been in enormous demand, with clients that range from Louis Vuitton and Burberry to Chanel and Vogue, and from stars such as Pharrell Williams, A$AP Rocky, and Skepta.
This book showcases Moses‘ captivating body of work with stunning full-page reproductions which capture his uniquely atmospheric vibe—marked by deep colors and rich textures.
Paying tribute to the women in his life, Gabriel Moses: Regina reflects the values and influences which have shaped Moses‘ perspective as an artist. A series of essays include a foreword by Moses, touching on his own ideology and practice; Federico Sargentone’s insightful exploration of Moses’ work; contributions and personal accounts by Matthew Williams, Ciesay, Clint, Samuel Ross and Slawn, among others; and a series of in-conversations, one with Skepta discussing the totality of life; and the second with Nick Knight exploring the depths of photography.
Touching on every aspect of his work to date, including a number of previously unpublished images, this unique and contemporary feeling monograph, designed by Hassan Rahim, dives deep into Moses’ visual language and highlights his profound connection to family, community, and the culture around it.
