===Photography=== Moby developed an interest in photography at age ten when his uncle, a photographer for ''[[The New York Times]]'', gave him a [[Nikon F]] camera. He cites [[Edward Steichen]] as a major early influence.<ref name=TPJ14>{{cite web|url=https://thephotographicjournal.com/interviews/moby/|title=Interviews β Moby|publisher=The Photographic Journal|first=Lou|last=Noble|date=May 29, 2014|access-date=May 1, 2019|archive-date=May 1, 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190501112700/https://thephotographicjournal.com/interviews/moby/|url-status=live}}</ref> At 17 he set up a [[darkroom]] in his basement and pursued photography while at university. Moby kept his photography private until 2010, when he put some of his work on public display at the Clic Gallery and the [[Brooklyn Museum]] in New York City.<ref name=TPJ14/> In May 2011, Moby released a photography book called "Destroyed" containing pictures that were taken during the ''Wait for Me'' tour in 2010. It was released in conjunction with his [[Destroyed (Moby album)|same-titled album]], and pictures from it were also put on display.<ref name=BB11>{{cite magazine|url=https://www.billboard.com/articles/news/472007/moby-preps-release-of-destroyed-albumphoto-book|title=Moby Preps Release of 'Destroyed' Album/Photo Book|magazine=Billboard|first=Gary|last=Graff|date=April 20, 2011|access-date=May 1, 2019|archive-date=May 3, 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190503130741/https://www.billboard.com/articles/news/472007/moby-preps-release-of-destroyed-albumphoto-book|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://artillerymag.com/moby-creates-la-cult-new-photo-series/|title=Moby: Apocalypse Already|date=July 2, 2014|first=Scarlet|last=Cheng|work=Artillery Magazine|access-date=May 1, 2019|archive-date=May 1, 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190501114929/https://artillerymag.com/moby-creates-la-cult-new-photo-series/|url-status=live}}</ref> From October to December 2014, Moby showcased his Innocents collection of large-scale photographs at the Fremin Gallery, featuring a post-apocalyptic theme and a cast of fictitious cult members wearing masks.<ref>{{cite magazine|url=https://brooklynrail.org/2014/12/artseen/moby-innocents|title=MOBY Innocents|date=December 18, 2014|first=William|last=Corwin|magazine=The Brooklyn Rail|access-date=May 1, 2019|archive-date=May 1, 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190501121207/https://brooklynrail.org/2014/12/artseen/moby-innocents|url-status=live}}</ref>
