Shanghai Portrait Photographer

Tim Franco is a portrait photographer working in Shanghai with over two decades of experience producing commercial and editorial portrait work across China.

Working across Shanghai, Beijing, and the broader Chinese market, Tim delivers portrait photography for luxury brands and major commercial clients — with campaigns produced for Chanel, Louis Vuitton, Dior, and Jacquemus, alongside corporate work for FedEx and NYU Shanghai. Editorial portrait work has been published in the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and leading international titles.

Portrait work in China demands both technical precision and cultural fluency. Having lived and worked in Shanghai for years, Tim brings an understanding of the market that translates directly into imagery — authentic, refined, and built for commercial use across Chinese and international platforms.

From luxury brand campaigns and editorial features to corporate portraiture and advertising lifestyle work, Tim Franco covers the full spectrum of portrait photography in Shanghai and China. Production support for larger campaigns is available through Propaganda Studio, a full-service commercial production agency operating across Shanghai, Seoul, and Hong Kong.

Tim Franco is available for portrait photography commissions in Shanghai, Beijing, Shenzhen, Hong Kong, and across Asia.
