ABOUT Chiahu & Yulia

Chiahu Lee contacted me to document a special moment: the recording of a new album with fellow pianist Yulia Vinishina-Mukhopadhyay at the Royal Northern College of Music. Alongside behind-the-scenes photography of their session in Studio 6, they also wanted a handful of professional headshots and duo portraits to use for upcoming promotional materials. The energy in the studio was warm and focused—ideal for capturing natural, grounded imagery that feels both intimate and refined.

 

WHAT I CREATED

We designed the shoot to flow gently around their recording schedule, combining moments of focus with pauses for portraits. Each of them had 30 minutes for solo headshots, followed by a short session together for duo portraits. The rest of the session was reserved for candid, documentary-style photos while they rehearsed and recorded. In total, they received a gallery of curated images from which they selected 22 final photos: 3 solo headshots each, 4 duo portraits, and 15 documentary images. The edits were soft and clean, keeping the tones natural and staying true to the quiet intensity of the session.

I’m a photographer and Squarespace web designer based in Altrincham, South Manchester. I specialise in portrait, landscape and opera photography and also offer a “complete website package” where I can offer headshots, photos of your business and design your new website so you can manage it yourself afterwards.

Over the years I’ve built a portfolio career as a professional photographer, opera singer, wardrobe assistant and singing teacher. I have a MMus from the RNCM, a Bachelor in Theatre Sciences and Musicology from Ghent University and I’m a qualified teacher. When my son was born in 2021 I quickly realised that an opera career wasn’t as compatible with being a mum as much as I would like, so I decided to change my focus completely to photography and web design.

I prefer working with daylight in casual surroundings while having a chat making sure you’re at ease and relaxed. It’s the little moments in between that make the best shots!

Feel free to get in touch if you’d like to work with me!
