A Lucky Man

Jared Moossy, a BFA Parsons School of Design graduate in photography who joined Local 600 in 2018, has always been fascinated with the myriad artful ways to capture the play of light and shadow in a picture. After working as a conflict photographer for over a decade, Dallas-based Moossy made a seamless transition to cinematography. Lending a philanthropic eye to the lens, he was able to capture both the tragedy of war and the beauty of the people impacted. This photographic/documentarian background yields a unique aesthetic vision to his cinematic work – one that skillfully elicits emotion while preserving the beauty of the moving picture.

On September 3, 2015 Jared’s life changed forever. As documented in his film A Lucky Man, (Shaul Schwarz, Christina Clausia, Billy Baca; shot on Canon C300 and Sony FS5), after 15 years of dodging bullets in war zones, the death-defying photojournalist faced his greatest hardship, losing his memory and his life as he knew it in a motorcycle accident. Jared always knew that photographs were powerful, but he never imagined how important and therapeutic imagery would be in redefining his sense of self.
