About Me:
People I meet often ask me what I do. When I tell them I'm a photographer, 90% of the time they ask, "What kind of photography do you do?" I then proceed to tell them I shoot most everything, and then list my main genres - Weddings, Events, Couples, Families, Marriage Proposals, and Boudoir. They always get intrigued by that last one - so I will make it official - my name is Ian Chin and I am a San Francisco Bay Area boudoir photographer.

And then I tell them it's one my favorite genres to shoot.
Next question is, "Why?"
Quite simply I explain to them...no other type of photography is as rewarding. Rewarding as in the sense of gratitude and appreciation for my craft, rewarding as in seeing the numerous !!!!!! in an email pre and post shoot, rewarding as in seeing CAPITAL LETTERS when describing the feeling of a photoshoot, rewarding as in feeling truly appreciated for what I did for someone.
What I strive to do with every shoot is to make my Client realize how great they look in front of my camera, how beautiful a person they are, and that even "average Janes" have that potential to be "supermodels," as long as they feel and believe it. You came to me out of everyone else out there...that takes guts. Without even meeting you, you're a supermodel for taking that first step!
I truly strive to be the best photographer I can. Committed so much I flew to Miami to train one on one with an actual Playboy photographer (yes, that Playboy!) for the weekend. I could've traveled around world with the money I spent but I have no regrets spending on my growth as an artist and expanding my knowledge to show in my photographs. Now, I only need models to shoot!
THANK YOU for letting me do what I love...
