Finished retouched images are delivered within 3 to 7 business days depending on the package.

4. Photography process
Each shoot at Gạo Nâu Profile is divided into 4 stages, with a total duration of 60 minutes for a standard personal package. Clients do not need to prepare makeup or outfits in advance — everything is available at the studio.
- 1
Consultation and confirmation (before the shoot date)
Clients book through the hotline or website. A consultant confirms the concept, wardrobe, makeup style, and intended image use (LinkedIn, CV, corporate publications...).
- 2
Makeup and preparation (30 minutes)
A makeup artist prepares the selected look. A stylist coordinates outfits from the studio wardrobe (1 — 3 outfits depending on the package) or from garments brought by the client.
- 3
Photography (15 minutes)
The photographer guides posing and expression. The studio captures 30 — 100 raw images depending on the package. Clients review images live on a screen connected to the camera.
- 4
Image selection and retouching (15 minutes + 3 — 7 days)
Clients select the 5 — 20 preferred images at the studio. The retouching team handles post-production (skin, lighting, color) and delivers final files via download link within 3 — 7 business days.
5. Differentiators
Gạo Nâu Profile differs from other studio types through its narrow specialization (profile photography only) and operating scale (3 studios, 15+ photographers):
Compared with regular ID photo studios
- → Gạo Nâu Profile provides an all-in-one service: makeup + wardrobe + photography + retouching within 60 minutes.
- → A typical ID photo studio usually only takes the photo, while clients handle makeup and outfits themselves.
- → Gạo Nâu pricing is 3-5 times higher, but the images can be used for LinkedIn, CVs, and corporate materials.
Compared with freelance photographers
- → The studio operates 3 fixed locations — not dependent on weather and no need to book a separate rental studio.
- → A dedicated team of 15+ photographers, makeup artists, and retouchers handles each stage.
- → The workflow is standardized for corporate clients needing consistent portraits for 100-200+ employees.
Compared with wedding or fashion studios
- → The studio specializes only in profile and portrait photography, without spreading capacity across wedding or fashion shoots.
- → Backgrounds, lighting, and color tones are optimized for images used in work and business.
- → Retouching follows profile-photo standards (natural-looking), not the overly smoothed skin style common in wedding photography.

"I'm someone who is genuinely afraid of being photographed — super stiff and tense. But shooting at Gạo Nâu, I overcame that fear and now look at photography differently. From the first message to confirm my appointment, through pre-shoot prep, all the way through to wrap, the tea..."
