Lucas Lin is a Singapore-based street photographer originally from Myanmar and has been living in Singapore for more than 11 years. Drawn to the interplay of light and shadow, he captures fleeting moments on the streets in black and white, focusing on human presence, contrast, reflection, and geometry. His photographs reveal the quiet beauty of everyday life, where light separates from darkness, shaping compelling compositions.
Lucas shoots mostly in Singapore, documenting the rhythm of daily life, but he also explores street photography overseas, capturing diverse environments beyond just urban settings.
Through his work, Lucas invites viewers to slow down and appreciate the unnoticed moments that make life—both in cities and beyond—so captivating.
His photography journey began in 2017 with his first M43 Olympus camera, which sparked his passion for visual storytelling. Over the years, he has explored different models of Fujifilm systems, currently using both Fujifilm and Leica M cameras. His love for manual controls and dials is cultivated by the precision of both Japanese and German engineering, allowing him to slow down and be more present. This process deepens his connection to the streets and refines his craft through these experiences.
Beyond photography, he is a full-time tech engineer with over a decade of experience in software engineering and tech consulting.
