IIRC, this shoot occurred about a year and a half before the series premiered.
People forget that initially the series was not intended to be a series, but merely was a IIRC, four hour miniseries featuring the attack on Caprica.
However Moore clearly wanted it to be a series and essentially deconstruct the concept of a sci-fi series and so clearly set it up as the pilot episode of a series.
People tuned into to see a remake of some cheesy show from the 70s and instead were confronted with an allegory for 911.
The fans went apeshit lit up the boards demanding it be turned into a series and about a year later it was.
The picture comes from a videotaped interview done to promote the miniseries.
