Street Scenes and Sharp Instincts with Chris

Chris Drake’s photography covers a wide range of styles and subjects, but it’s his street work that really stopped us in our tracks. Based in both New York and Singapore, Chris has an incredible eye for the unexpected — whether it’s a fleeting moment of motion, a portrait that feels accidentally perfect, or a subtle scene that makes you smile, think, or both.

His black and white shots feel timeless. His color work? Vibrant, quick, and smart. Each image carries a sense of presence, like it was captured mid-breath. There’s intention behind the instinct — and a touch of humor too.

We’ve pulled a small sampling of favorites, but you should absolutely scroll through his full profile. It’s the kind of work that reminds you to look closer and shoot more often.
