My name is Chad Amory. I am an Oakland/San Francisco based photographer and musician.
I primarily take candid photographs, typically with with a layer of abstract, capturing the fleeting moments of everyday city life. For me, the joy of photography is the spontaneous way these moments present themselves and finding the medium in my immediate surroundings to finesse and ultimately capture the photo.
I am inspired mostly by science fiction, loud music, and early street photographers who experimented with framing, color, and depth of field .. as well as many current photographers who further push these elements.
Listening to music while wondering the streets with my camera completely settles me in the moment.
