Lifestyle & social content

Everyday moments.
Made for your feed.

I specialise in everyday lifestyle and social media content photography. Natural, thoughtfully composed images that feel like you, and give your Instagram, Rednote or personal page a more considered look.

Outfits, café visits, city walks and the little details in between. We’ll make photographs you can share with confidence, bringing your personality and everyday stories into your content.

Behind the lens

Hello, I’m Yihan.

I’m a Manchester-based photographer working across portrait, documentary, street and lifestyle photography.

I’m drawn to natural expressions and the small details that make a photograph personal. We’ll talk through your ideas and arrange the meeting point together, so the session feels like you.

Let’s make something personal

More everyday moments, and a place to say hello.

Let’s make a little
time stand still.
