Hi,

I am Yu-Chen Chiu

 

 

Yu-Chen Chiu Studio offers wedding, engagement session and maternity, newborn, milestone & event photography in NYC & NJ.

This is My story behind the lens

My journey began in documentary photography, using the camera to explore themes of identity, transformation, and connection. Born and raised in Taiwan, I’ve spent my life navigating spaces between cultures and perspectives—an experience that deeply informs the way I tell stories, whether through stills or motion. I’ve had the honor of exhibiting at venues such as the Musee du Louvre, Fotografiska, and published in VOGUE International, ELLE China, and Time Out New York.


At YCC Studio, I blend a poetic visual style with a thoughtful, collaborative approach. From intimate milestones to brand campaigns, I create photography and video work that feels personal, purposeful, and true to you.


With a background in branding and user experience design at one of NYC’s top ad firms, gives me an added lens: I understand not just how to make beautiful images, but how to craft visuals that resonate and connect. Whether you’re marking a life chapter or building something new, I’m here to help you tell your story—authentically and artfully.


Now, as a new mother to a nine-month-old, I see home, love, and family with fresh eyes and a deeper sense of wonder. This role has transformed how I photograph life’s moments—both big and small. I believe every chapter deserves to be cherished.
