Hi!

here is Renqing Yu,

and I go by Ryan

A little about me.

Born and raised in China, I packed my bags and landed in NYC in 2015 to chase new experiences (and a master's degree). Photography has been my thing for years—pretty sure it all started with the #ShotOniPhone hype back in 2015, and I’ve been hooked ever since.

I’m all about golden hour, iced coffee mornings, and moody, foggy ocean walks. My work captures the little moments that make city life feel cinematic—street scenes, light & shadow, and the busy people in between.

When I’m not behind the lens, I work in tech and have been deep in the agency world, building cool apps and websites for different clients.
