I usually have a lot of redness in my face that comes out in photos and he found the right lighting to create a photo that gave me a healthy looking complexion without looking photoshopped to be unnatural. I would and will recommend his services in the future. Attached is the photo he took for my real estate website advertising.

Jiyang is such an incredible human being who makes you feel right at home in your own skin. He has…read morea keen eye for photography, capturing the essence of every moment. Although his specialty is portrait / fashion images -- he is willing and able to tackle any endeavor! Together we worked on action (specifically dance) shots. Dance can be quite difficult to capture but he dove in and handled it with ease. He was sensitive to my critical eye and naturally paid careful attention to detail. All of his images turn out incredibly vibrant and mesmerizing! Being such a pleasant collaborator, I could have hung out with him all day long. I highly suggest you look at his site and contact him for any project you have in mind. I can guarantee you will be pleased beyond expectation! Thanks Ji!!

Our first session with her was our maternity shoot. We almost cancelled due to a storm passing through, but in the end, she convinced us to meet her at Boca Reservoir anyhow. We arrived at Boca to find the most gorgeous June superbloom of Lupin. The storm had passed and the sky was perfection. Yashila captured the most artistic photos for my husband and I. We have gone on to hire Yashila for our daughter's newborn photos and first year family photos. We will continue to use Yashila Photography. She's amazing!

We planned our wedding years ago and I gave a $1,050 deposit. COVID happened and the wedding had to…read morebe canceled. We tried to have it in 2021 but due to CA regulations we couldn't. Calvin and I tried to sort out a different photography event the months / years after. The timeline didn't workout and eventually I realized it wouldn't happen due to our conflicting schedules. I've reached out several times via text, email, and phone calls and l've been ignored. It's frustrating to have a thousand dollar deposit disappear due to circumstances out of both of our control. He did no work and just keeps a grand from us? Seems unfair. His photography is beautiful and I was excited for his work. I'm just disappointed at the lack of communication from him after things didn't work out. Be careful.

I met Marcello at his studio with extra clothing so that we could take a large number of photos, which helps a fellow to get relaxed so that something real comes out. This makes a huge difference. A truly good photographer has more than just a voluminous knowledge of equipment, lighting, and the technical aspects of the craft. What sets a photographer apart as truly good is the natural gift of SEEING what is special. He (or she) can capture OR set up moments. He (or she) is READY to see the moment and capture it. Marcello is a truly good photographer.
