Hi, I'm Emily!

I am a visual storyteller living in New York City.

As a photographer, I specialize in portraits, products, and events. Whether I’m capturing the energy of a brand activation, the details of a product, or the personality behind a portrait, I create compelling visuals that tell a cohesive story, capturing them in the best light possible—literally. From product launches to curated moments, I deliver bold, story-driven visuals that help brands stand out.

As a designer, I love creating beautiful, well-thought-out pieces. I enjoy branding and developing systems, but my favorite things to create are print pieces. I love things that are meant to be held and physically manipulated and am a total paper geek.

I graduated with a BA in Sociology, with honors, from NYU, where I wrote my honors thesis on the creation and presentation of identity through food photography on Instagram. I also have a graphic design degree from Parsons.

My work has been featured in various publications, including the New York Times, Forbes, Teen Vogue, and more. You can also find more of my personal portrait work at emilychanphotography.com.
