Mystic Canyon Light Gallery

Charly Moore, born in Germany, August 1956. I am a photographer specializing in landscape and wildlife fine art photography based in Ivins, Utah. I have lived in the southwest for the past 15 years. In 2015 I opened my new gallery, at the Kayenta Art Village where my photography is displayed. My fascination for landscape and wildlife has come from the love of the area and the beauty it holds within. I primarily enjoy photographing the southwest, but also enjoy photographing other regions. Looking at my images on the wall is totally different from how I imagine the viewer sees my work. I see my work through the journey, without the journey the work is meaningless. I have walked through each picture and stopped to record the direction of my experience. The longer the walk, the more in touch I feel with the land, the more my senses are heightened and acute. The longer the walk, the better the images become because my sight becomes attuned to the subtle details nature presents. I have met many photographers over the years from which I also draw inspiration and admire their personal visions.
