Bio

Kantaya New is a Thai–Singaporean photo artist based in Singapore, working across street and conceptual photography. Having lived in Bangkok, Tokyo, and Singapore, my perspective has been shaped by all three cities.

My street photos are a counter-reaction to modern life. Where everything feels too "optimized" and "organized," I am drawn to the random moments where that order breaks down. I look beyond simple visual coincidences to the meaning underneath — finding unpolished diamonds in the busyness of everyday life.

My conceptual work explores modern relationships in A Modern Day Affair, reality and imagination in The Little Prince, and identity in Dare to be You. Each series uses staged scenes, often layered with humour, to say what words cannot.

Across both, I treat photography as slow living — slowing down to notice the gems we already have but keep missing.
