Introduction

IMPORTANT: I respectfully request any inquiry, if you need to select multiple photographers to find one for your gig, please do NOT select me. Otherwise you are liable for the fees incurred. Thank you Welcome to yinyiphotography, where my artistic vision and diversified professional experiences come alive. My name is Yi, an internationally recognized photographer with a distinguished portfolio that reflects my extensive experience working with world-class fashion weeks, renowned ballet companies, and high-profile brands. I've had the honor of working with NYC, Tokyo, Shanghai, and Portland Fashion Weeks, creating stunning visual narratives that capture the heart and soul of each event. My collaborations with elite Italian Fashion brands like Max Mara and Dolce & Gabbana have further diversified my portfolio, solidifying my place in the international photography scene. Beyond the realm of fashion, I am the long-standing photographer for the Oregon Ballet Theater, and have been fortunate to capture the sublime artistry of numerous top ballet companies including the Dutch National Ballet, Bolshoi Ballet, Chinese National Ballet, Shanghai Ballet, Swiss Bejart Ballet, Canada Alberta Ballet, and Houston Ballet. I've also delved into the vibrant world of sports, photographing for the US figure skating team and their breathtaking show, Stars on Ice, for many years. Other illustrious events include the Kentucky Derby and Indy 500. My work has been proudly exhibited in the Portland Art Museum and the Oregon History Museum, and even featured on Max Light Rail. One of my proudest achievements is my significant contribution to Portland's premier fashion event, FashioNXT. My work was instrumental in the event being recognized by Forbes Magazine as the best Fashion Week outside NYC in the US, a testament to my dedication to promoting local talent on a global stage.

Each photography session will depends on the specific need of my customer, typically my session on portraiture start from $300, it depends on customer budget and requirements, I can usually work out a plan with customer.

If the project is large I do offer some discount, but it is case by case.

I've been in love with things half artistic and half technical since high school, I had a dream to become a music producer and recording engineers at the same time in high school. but I ended up another kind of half artistic half technical work as photographer. I got my training back in Chicago art school and when moving to Portland, joining a wonderful Photography club practicing whole variety of genres of photography using drastically different skills from long exposure using neutral density filter to focus stacking, bracketing etc, from strobe light to rear curtain.... learn from Youtube, professional seminars, professional photography club. my work was endorsed by the world's top fashion weeks all over North America, and Asia, world's top Ballet companies across North America, Europe and Asia. and top US sport events.

How did you get started doing this type of work?

unfold fold
I am very good at capturing the perfect moment, candid moment. Regardless it is figure skating on ice or Ballerina on stage, it required me to visualize that perfect moment ahead of time, and pull the trigger millisecond before it happen….. or to create and improvise a story telling photo that tell the story of people, I do not do cookie cutter type of work, every job I do, I gave individual care and thought about my customer and I made the photo session fun and engaging. My customer will never feel I am dictating, they will always be a vital part of photography session. I will bring their personality into the photo. I started from a great photography club that I learned and taught as well a lot.
