I’m Daykin Dayanch — portrait and street photographer based in New York City. My work explores themes of memory, presence, and the human condition, often through quiet moments found in everyday life.

With a background in Filming and Photography Art, I approach each project with a cinematic eye and a sensitivity to atmosphere and narrative. My photography has been featured in exhibitions and publications, and continues to evolve through personal series and collaborative work.

Whether you’re a curator, creative director, model or collector, I invite you to explore my portfolio and reach out for commissions or collaborations.

Interested in working together or commissioning a shoot?

I’m available for portrait sessions, editorial work, and collaborations.
