Chris Arnade left his job as a foreign exchange trader at a major investment bank to pursue photography full-time.

He's not your typical photographer, though.

Arnade, who is very critical of Wall Street, spends his time in some of the city's roughest neighborhoods.

Some of his most powerful work comes from Hunts Point, Bronx, where he has photographed hundreds of drug addicts. Along with his photos, Arnade writes down his subjects' stories, with help from writer Cassie Rodenberg.
