[17] Moonrise by Yik Keat

“Admirers relish his arty snaps of urban landscapes… [that] keep his audience coming back for more.”

– “The Singaporean photographer-influencer touring with Lauv and conquering social media” by Tatler Asia

Yik Keat describes his work and creative process:

“I’ve been trying to find more ‘soul’ in my photography, to find the beauty in daily life.”

Moonrise is a dramatic and deeply evocative image of a super moon beside Singapore’s iconic HDB flats, captured by the lens of Singaporean urban photographer Yik Keat. This high-quality fine art print has been expertly mounted and framed in black. Sometimes when we need a little break, all we have to do is look outside our windows to remember the magic of everyday life.
