Iconic Profile is the premium portrait photography package at Gạo Nâu Profile, priced at 4,700,000 VND (VAT included), designed for CEOs, founders, business leaders, and KOLs. The package includes 1 premium makeup and hair layout, 1 outfit set, and photography on a designed backdrop (set design) — this is the single difference from the Premium package. A full-time support team guides posing throughout, with facial mask + foot massage care before the shoot, direct on-screen viewing on a large monitor with on-the-spot editing during the session, plus all original photos and 10 fully retouched photos.
Defining the Iconic Profile
Iconic Profile — also called Signature Portrait — is the most representative type of portrait photography for an individual. Unlike regular profile photos (for LinkedIn, CV), Iconic Profile photos are typically used for:
- Company websites in the “About” or “Leadership” section
- Book covers and author publications
- Press materials such as Forbes, CafeF, BrandsVietnam
- Speaker portraits for events and international conferences
- Award applications for business awards (Endeavor, EY Entrepreneur of the Year…)
A good Iconic Profile set must meet 3 criteria: conveys personality, represents personal brand, and is usable across multiple contexts for a minimum of 2-3 years.
Who Is the Iconic Profile Package For?
The Iconic Profile package suits 4 main customer groups:
1. CEOs and Business Founders
Business leaders with 50+ employees typically need photos for company websites, annual reports, and partner presentations. Iconic Profile provides multiple concepts for flexible deployment across different contexts.
2. KOLs and Professional Influencers
KOLs with 100K+ followers need representative photos for their personal brand — not everyday selfies but professional studio portraits. Iconic Profile ensures enough high-quality photos for advertising contracts, events, and media.
3. Authors, Speakers, Experts
Book authors and frequent speakers need book cover photos and speaker portfolio shots. The Iconic package includes premium outdoor settings (hotel lobby, café, library spaces) that match an intellectual image.
4. Senior Executives (C-suite)
CTOs, CFOs, and COOs of major corporations need portraits for executive board profiles, shareholder presentations, and press materials. Iconic Profile meets stringent requirements for quality and formality.

Iconic Profile Shooting Process
The session is divided into 6 phases:
- Pre-shoot consultation (online, 30 minutes) — The stylist discusses personal brand, field of work, and photo usage purposes to prepare a moodboard.
- Pre-shoot care — Customers receive a facial mask and foot massage to relax for a fresher look in photos.
- Premium makeup and hair (45-60 minutes) — A professional artist shapes the style to fit the customer’s personality.
- Photography with full-time support team — The team guides posing and cares for the customer throughout the session.
- On-screen viewing on large monitor + on-the-spot editing — Customers view photos immediately at the session on a large screen and can edit on the spot.
- File delivery — All original photos delivered immediately at the session. 10 fully retouched photos delivered in 3-5 days via download link.
Why Iconic Profile Is a Worthwhile Investment
A set of Iconic Profile photos is typically used for 2-3 years across:
- Company website (1 main photo + 2-3 secondary photos)
- LinkedIn, CV, professional platform profiles (1 photo)
- Book covers, author publications (1-2 photos)
- Press kits for 10-20 articles (3-5 photos)
- Speaker portraits for 5-10 events (2-3 photos)
If you divide 4,700,000 VND by 2 years of use and ~20 usage occasions = approximately 235,000 VND per use — much cheaper than shooting separately for each occasion.
