I’d been itching to dive into photography, but the reality of its endless dials, settings, and cryptic terms like “aperture” and “histograms” hit me hard.…

I’ll never forget the moment I first stumbled across Moses Aurelius’ Instagram, a Blade Runner-inspired image leapt off my feed, radiating atmosphere, colour, and a story that gripped me instantly. As someone who’s always been drawn to cinematic imagery, I was hooked. What I didn’t realise then was that Moses, based in Sydney, Australia, isn’t…
