Yu-Chien: “Still Changes”. Practise & Process Documentation

Learn about my Shoots.

Using a Nikon D7’100 I capture dancers and choreographers organically, through Practise & Process Documentation Shoots, and in Classic Shoots.

My Practise & Process Documentation shoots are perfect if you are a company or independent artist looking to have photographic documentation of your classes or rehearsals.
I am also available to document the dance film making process for artists working in this medium.
This style of shoot is ideal for updating your website, or advertising your work and classes on social media and online.
The Classic Shoot offers dancers the chance to capture their individual style through photography.
I collaborate with my clients through movement direction to photograph their improvisation, creating stunning images perfect for social media, websites and other online presences.

Testimonials.

I feel very grateful that I had my first official photoshoot with Olivia! Her soothing yet secure guidance made me feel free to move, and to be myself throughout the whole session. Her perspective is truly unique and her ability to express her artistry through her lens it really outstanding. When I saw the final result I was honestly so positively surprised because I couldn't have imagined a better outcome than the one Olivia saw and created.

Olivia was so delightful. I loved working with her and the trust that built throughout the shoot was really nice and made me feel connected to her. I felt so inspired and I was amazed by the outcome of the magnificent pictures that she took. Would be honored to work with her again soon.

“OLIVIA WAS A BRILLIANT COLLABORATOR WITHIN THE MOVING PORTRAITS REHEARSAL PROCESS. SHE CREATED A CALM AND SAFE ENVIRONMENT WHICH ALLOWED HER DOCUMENTATION OF THE PROCESS TO FEEL PERSONAL AND DETAILED. HER FINAL PHOTOGRAPHS TRULY CAPTURED THE ENERGY OF THE DANCERS IN AN EXCITING, MOVING AND THOUGHTFUL WAY.”

“Olivia is phenomenal! Not only did I feel safe within the public setting that we were shooting but she also ensured I felt comfortable at all times. The day was well organised and there was a clear structure, going to picturesque locations all within walking distance from one another. Olivia’s professional yet personable nature made communication easy throughout the shoot as well as creating a fun and relaxing atmosphere. Would highly recommend if you’d like some great shots!”

"Olivia was committed to upholding a high professional standard in both her communication and in producing the photographs. She required minimal guidance and understood, interpreted and implemented our creative intentions into her vision, but remained open to creative conversation and tailoring the shoot around our requirements. I’d highly recommend Olivia for capturing movement; including rehearsal, production and promotional shoots. An incredibly versatile photographer".
