Keith Moss is a self-taught photographer who has been working in the business for over 20 years. His work covers everything from fashion, product and wedding photography through to highly collectable fine art prints.

Starting out in his native Yorkshire, he relocated to the North East coast which is the subject of many of his stunning black and white landscapes. Off the back of exhibiting and selling this work around the globe, he recently became one of only five industry ambassadors for Ilford, the world’s leader in black and white film.

Sharing his knowledge and skills with others is really important to Keith. As well as being a DigitalCity mentor – where he works with up and coming businesses – he’s set to deliver a series of industry masterclasses for Ilford around the UK. This is preceeded by the unique ‘Shoot fashion’ workshop he’s delivering at Teesside University with fashion designer Kate Fearnley this month. The event is aimed at photographers wanting to break into the fashion industry and will culminate in a live shoot where they’ll be able to photograph models wearing Kate Fearlney’s latest collection.

Keith Moss is a very busy guy - but he’s as honest and down to earth as he is talented. In this interview I ask him how he is able to compete with those in London when others struggle,  if his lack of academia has caused him any problems – and throw in the inevitable ‘film or digital’ question for good measure.
