📊 Why It Works

  • Chinese community highly values professional photography (graduation, engagement, family portraits)
  • Language barrier prevents many from booking English-only photographers
  • Cultural understanding (pose preferences, styling, locations) matters
  • Content creator economy growing: creators need professional photos for XHS & Douyin

🎯 Unfair Advantage

  • Ryan is a photographer (Sony A7C II + Godox TT350)
  • Bilingual English/Chinese — can communicate natively
  • Pose reference board already built (model-poses/)
  • Shoot Publisher can auto-post to client's social platforms
  • Personal portfolio at ryanyan.org already live
