Agatha Yim is a filmmaker, photographer, and classically-trained musician based in Naarm/Melbourne, Australia.

She specialises in live music video production, artist collabs/music videos, documentary film, and portrait photography. Her background as a professional musician provides her with a unique set of skills and perspective that she brings to every collaboration.

Polyphony … a type of musical texture consisting of two or more simultaneous lines of independent melody

After returning to Australia from her music studies in London, Agatha realised that she’d deeply missed filmmaking and photography, and wanted to find a way to combine her creative loves. And so in 2013, Polyphonic Pictures was born. Just like the term Polyphony suggests, Agatha has always felt pulled towards multiple creative directions. She’d perform music like she was making pictures, and made pictures like she was playing music. What she once saw as a character flaw – an inability to just be one thing – she now sees as a kind of super power, something special that should be nurtured.

Since the inception of Polyphonic Pictures over a decade ago, Agatha has had the opportunity to meet and collaborate with some incredible musicians and artists, many of whom share her love of story-telling, passion for diverse ideas, and an openness to experimentation through film and photography. Her clients range from independent and chamber musicians, to arts and educational organisations.
