Chad Amory is a photographer currently based in Oakland, California. He has spent the past six years photographing both the people on the streets and their urban environment. He uses candid snapshots of fleeting moments as both a starting point and as his main source of inspiration.

His work examines familiar scenes that are stripped of their previous meaning and re-contextualized as vivid moments. Abstracting framed instances that would go unnoticed creates opportunities for deeper visual contemplation. By taking daily life as subject matter, new insights are manufactured prompting the viewer to further examine and develop a stream of thought.

He is currently a member of the Bay Area Photography Collective, BAPC.
