Writer, founder of The House of Rumour “She made the whole shoot an easy, fun, self-affirming experience, and took a sensitive, patient and collaborative approach when it came to making the final choices. She was unfailingly quick, friendly and responsive even when I was at my most indecisive. Having photos taken when you're at an age ‘crossroads’ felt really exposing for me, but thanks to Christy’s calm, friendly and professional attitude, the whole process was actually a joy.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e95b4f597ec23a0e564719/4ff90ad0-9479-4f62-adc5-d6b0704fb4ec/Ecre+%40kuka.studios-8.jpg Photography - Ecre Karadag, Literary Translator “Christy was this magical mix of fun, easy to work with, and super professional. I’m usually a behind-the-scenes person but she made me feel comfortable (and fabulous!) within minutes and I love the photos. I always recommend her to any creatives looking for a photographer.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e95b4f597ec23a0e564719/d5a50db0-0293-488c-bd88-d3576468f966/IMG_5370.jpg Photography - Molly Aitken, Author “It was a breeze working with Christy. She has a talent for making awkward authors look relaxed, and even aesthetic. I am awed by the quality and artistry of the photographs Christy managed to get out of me. She is truly a magician. I recommend her to all writers.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e95b4f597ec23a0e564719/6d02a33b-6fab-417f-bbda-55ad208eaa6b/IMG_4172.jpg Photography - Suyin Haynes, Writer & Journalist “Christy is not only a great photographer, but just as importantly, she really understands how to make people feel comfortable in front of the camera. She helped create a really relaxed and fun environment for me and my mum when she took our photographs both separately and together. We love the end results as they really convey who we are as people and that's testament to Christy's process.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e95b4f597ec23a0e564719/3f827403-19b9-4e21-a392-7d43f493767d/IMG_9249.jpg Photography - Elspeth Wilson, Writer “Christy made me feel very comfortable and relaxed, even though I was both nervous about the photoshoot and being out and about for the first time since COVID-19. She was very conscious of choosing a location that was safe but also beautiful, and really eased me into the shoot. I don't always like photos of me but I genuinely really love the photos that Christy took! They feel natural and like me, but also have a special feeling to them and I always get excited when I get to use them for events.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e95b4f597ec23a0e564719/43e8382f-1aa4-4817-8084-83a741582e0e/Christy+Ku+FINAL+%40kuka.studios-8.jpg Photography - Erica Hesketh, Poet, Editor and Events Programmer “Christy was so thoughtful and professional to work with.

And most importantly I'm really pleased with the photos!” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e95b4f597ec23a0e564719/d77aa015-88a6-4a6b-b8db-a4b11f13c832/IMG_7476.jpg Photography - ‘Black Women @ Rest’ “Christy was professional and wonderful to work with. Punctual, responsive and detail orientated - the shoot we did together was a big success! She made each model feel comfortable and adapted her approach to each person. Her experience shooting darker skin tones was another plus so I didn't have to worry about that I knew it was taken care of. Her suggestions were spot on and she cared about my creative vision, doing a great job to get it across. She is my go-to now, can't wait to work with her again!” -Gift Ajimokun https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e95b4f597ec23a0e564719/8f85bade-8997-4603-a05a-71e7eb70b785/IMG_9448.jpg Photography - JinHao Xie, Poet “It was wonderful to have worked with Christy. She is professional, confident-boosting and very easy to communicate with. As an East Asian artist, it was important for me to find someone who can understand my intention and aesthetics. Particularly, I felt comfortable showing my vulnerability and as a result of that, we got to have some fun and lots of amazing shots came out of it.” https://www.christyku.co.uk/shop daily 0.75 2025-02-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e95b4f597ec23a0e564719/b05cf017-6adf-47f1-ade6-359efe781d6f/3.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e95b4f597ec23a0e564719/cbe6f48b-940e-4a76-9b56-3f43594fdb55/5.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e95b4f597ec23a0e564719/64753c84-a06c-45dd-9305-f0821db6cb13/7.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e95b4f597ec23a0e564719/a33ee41e-53b0-4c7e-9511-4d91ca689850/How+to+do+taxes.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e95b4f597ec23a0e564719/038cb94b-4c9a-4475-982e-5107f131ecef/IMG_6535.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e95b4f597ec23a0e564719/37634d72-bfed-4f04-be02-833b29909f58/IMG_6536.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e95b4f597ec23a0e564719/ae553d6a-a5f9-49a5-a727-aedf580fa820/IMG_6524.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e95b4f597ec23a0e564719/cff7bcb3-97c6-45fd-94c3-d06aebea8607/IMG_6527.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e95b4f597ec23a0e564719/50467580-9bcf-43e8-ada2-92860bb1b81e/IMG_6528.jpg https://www.christyku.co.uk/workshops daily 0.75 2026-02-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e95b4f597ec23a0e564719/3e5dd1fe-ce2f-4dfb-9b33-52b56433de37/ESEAPN_SummerParty_089.JPG LEARN ESEA Publishing Network Summer Party, Hachette HQ 2024 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e95b4f597ec23a0e564719/563b6927-87fa-4d99-a47f-04fff200f18e/IMG_5524.JPG LEARN Zimingzhong Exhibition, Science Museum, 2024 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e95b4f597ec23a0e564719/e2f88710-a965-483d-9c12-a6c42f14a1dc/7f61d847-6dec-44f5-9db1-82183471fd95.jpg LEARN Science Museum Lates, 2024 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e95b4f597ec23a0e564719/bcfbf9ab-5154-48f2-8ec2-f0b63717837e/IMG_2032.JPG LEARN Mahjong at Universal Music Group London HQ, 2024 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e95b4f597ec23a0e564719/2abf65a8-05db-494a-ba37-1daca0cc6757/IMG-1057.jpg LEARN Kakilang -
