A Visual Day in the Life of Photo Designer Cian Moore

The photo designer and Clover New York founder shares a behind-the-scenes look at a #CLOVERMODE day.

This article originally appeared in ‘Hypebeast Magazine Issue 33: The Systems Issue.’


I live day to day. I go to sleep having no clue what’s going to happen tomorrow. Days, hours, and pretty much any concept of time has disappeared. Everything feels like one long moment.

I have long-term goals, but I like to approach each day as if it’s a fresh start. There are constant projects in rotation that I work on for months straight, but I like to flow with the wind. If a new idea comes along, let’s change directions and go with it. Let’s be malleable, let’s update in real time, in real life.

Move with love, wake up with the right intentions, surround yourself with people who want the same thing—a dream big enough that there’s no clear path on how to even get there. So carve your own path, create your own reality.

Every day, we are blessed with a fresh opportunity to discover, experiment, and try different formulas for life and art. Live in the moment, let the wind take you where it goes. All of this only pans out if you actually work for it, hustle to the bone, and com- pete like there’s no tomorrow. It’s always crunch time.

Love your passion like it’s a life force—feed it, reassure it, sharpen it, own it. This is a small glimpse into a day in my life, a glimpse into a New York minute. This is #CLOVERMODE. ~ Cian Moore

GOOD NIGHT, GOOD MORNING

Sometimes I won’t leave the studio for days and days to make sure all the tasks at hand are executed to certified Clover standards. Night becomes morning, weekdays blend together, and time flies as we spend our lives creating.

TWO HAND ARMY

I have an inherent responsibility to get things done by any means necessary, no matter what the circumstances are—even if I have to do it all by myself. I think this comes from my Dad, who’s the exact same way. Thank you, Dad.

PAIN!

Go to the gym, be grateful, sharpen your tools, feel the pain!

MAD MAN

I am extremely passionate about reigniting the classic aura and swag of advertising. One of my goals in life is to exclusively wear suits—both on set and off.
