“Great portraits don’t just show how you look—they invite someone into your story.”


At profiles, we believe portraits are about more than appearance. We curate our sessions to have time for a calm, collaborative, and creative experience—so you leave not just with images, but with portraits that truly reflect you.

Testimonials

CY has a keen eye for detail and can shoot in a wide variety of styles. He was well-prepared, gave lots of posing tips, and also made thoughtful conversation during the shoot. I enjoy playing with gender presentation, and I was so happy that CY could capture both the feminine and masculine sides of myself, while still ensuring I looked and felt authentically me.

Testimonials

I had my shoot with Chiang Yang, and honestly, I really enjoyed the whole experience. He’s super creative and exploratory, doesn’t stick to any preset setup or routine, goes with the flow and adjusts along the way to get the best shot possible.


The session felt so natural and comfortable, nothing forced at all. The value I got out of the shoot was actually way above what I expected. I Can tell he’s really passionate about what he’s doing. Can’t wait to see Profiles roll out more backgrounds and ideas in the future, definitely coming back when I need to refresh my profiles again.
