Get To Know Me
Why TheBlackGazelle?
Maurice N. Thompson, mostly called Moe, and creatively known as TheBlackGazelle, am a photographer and videographer with over a decade of experience. Inspired by the captivating visuals of classic Noir films, I have developed a lifelong passion for capturing stunning imagery. My expertise extends far beyond mere technical skills; it's a dedication to translating your vision into a masterpiece. The Blackgazelle originated as a guide in my nightmares. Much of my inspiration comes from my daydreams and nightmares.
Why People Choose TheBlackGazelle?
Visionary Expertise: 
I don't just capture moments, I can craft them. Imagine any atmosphere – bright and airy, dark and moody, playful or elegant – and I will use lighting, posing, staging, and all of my resources to bring it to life.
Practical Creativity: 
There are no limitations. Together, we'll explore your unique vision and push the boundaries of artistic expression to create photographs and videos that resonate with you.
14+ Years of  Experience: 
Benefit from my extensive knowledge and experience. I understand the nuances of light, composition, and storytelling to deliver exceptional results. My portfolio is diverse because I am constantly exploring ways to become a better creator. I prefer dark but I have a broad range.
Memorable Masterpieces: 
Your project is more than just a photoshoot or videography session; it's an investment in capturing lasting memories and emotions. I love capturing raw moments and seeing the little details and nuances that make moments matter.
