JACQUELINE CHANG

Hello...I'm Jacqueline. 

I take photographs as a method to understand life. 

Since 2006, I’ve been quietly crafting my photography practice, starting with the vibrant, joy-filled moments at weddings and transitioning into capturing the quiet, everyday magic of family life at home. Nowadays, I’m devoted to what I call "Conversational Portraiture", a straightforward yet deeply personal approach that’s become my own way of making sense of the world around us. Through this focused, individualized process, I don’t just take a photograph; I engage in a dialogue with the subject, unraveling and understanding life’s complexities one portrait at a time. In each image, there’s a story told and a life revealed, helping me, and hopefully you, to see and appreciate the extraordinary in the ordinary.

Life Philosophy 

• You can't want something for someone more than they want it for themselves
• Just because you can, doesn't mean you should
• When in doubt, err on the side of kindness
