Résumé
Ash Yip is a New York–based award-winning documentary director (see IMDb) and an event & portrait photographer/videographer, focused on premium galas, corporate dinners, and private celebrations.
She captures guests in flattering, editorial-style imagery with a discreet on-site presence, delivering coverage that feels elegant, modern, and press-ready.
Before going professional, Ash fell in love with photography through playful Y2K-style images (see archive). That instinct for energy and personality still shows up today, now refined for black-tie rooms, film sets, and high-end parties, where she blends upbeat intuition with a calm, low-profile approach.
From black-tie to private VIP settings, Ash engages with guests confidently and respectfully, with polished etiquette. Known for capturing immediate emotion and rare, fleeting seconds, she works with the belief that every moment is irreversible, and happens only once.
