Meet the Polerina Photographer

Hi, I’m Sheleka, the founder of Miyako Studios and the heart of Sakka Sessions. Thirteen years behind the lens has taught me that the best portraits happen when people feel at ease. I coach with a light touch — enough guidance to build confidence, and enough space for you to show up as yourself. The payoff is the moment you see the final images, and that genuine excitement crosses your face. That’s why I keep shooting. Eight years later, pole found me, and everything clicked. Movement was the missing piece — the chance to feel stories in my body, not just see them through a lens.

​

Today, I fuse both my love of photography and pole to help others experience what I discovered:

  • Your body is an instrument of art.

  • Your story deserves the spotlight.

  • Taking up space is a superpower.​

​

Need head‑turning branding shots? A flow session that fires up your body? Or the Pole Portrait mash‑up for double impact? Either way, I’m here to give you a stage that’s safe to test limits and explore. 

​​

When I’m away from the studio, you’ll find me chasing pockets of light around Birmingham, editing with  an herbal tea in hand, or drilling a new spin that keeps me humble and hungry.​
