Chad Moore

Chad Moore (b. 1987, Atlanta, USA) is a New York-based photographer known for his intimate portraits and youth-driven storytelling. His images explore themes of freedom, friendship, identity, and emotional vulnerability. Often shot in natural light, his photographs feel spontaneous, nostalgic, and deeply personal.

Moore first gained attention for documenting his close circle of friends. He captures fleeting moments—soft glances, quiet joy, ecstatic nights—with a poetic lens. His work sits at the crossroads of youth culture, queer identity, and emotional realism.

Color plays a key role in Moore’s images. His use of rich tones and dreamlike light gives everyday scenes a cinematic quality. At the same time, the images retain a raw, unpolished honesty.

Over the years, Moore’s work has been featured in galleries and publications worldwide. His photography has been shown in Europe, the U.S., and Asia, and collected by both museums and private collectors. Notably, Stieglitz19 has exhibited Moore’s work in Europe, highlighting his importance in the field of emerging contemporary photography.

Moore has published several photobooks, including Anyone in Love With You (Already Knows). Each book continues his exploration of empathy, youth, and the fragile beauty of everyday life.
