Director Chang is an artist and portrait photographer with a unique perspective that is deeply intertwined with his artistic and personal identity. His red-green colorblindness infuses his portraits with heightened color contrasts and contours that make his sitters appear at once genuine and larger than life.
Chang started out as a photographer and graphic designer before founding the Stallery. He believes art must be experienced, so he left art school to educate himself about the world visually and viscerally with his eyes, body and mind. This sensory learning process sparked his interest in investigating the impact of technology on contemporary society as technology becomes ever more personal and interpersonal. His belief in science and technology is manifest in his practice through his use of cutting-edge visual media and futuristic compositional elements.
Chang’s earliest attempts at portraiture showed him how happy his photographs could make others if he captured their most genuine and authentic side. He believes that everyone’s physical features are unique, awaiting a discerning eye to weave them into a personal narrative.
The gallery is a unique space that combines an art and portrait photography studio with an exhibition gallery. In our hybrid space, you can experience art firsthand—not only as a viewer but also as a subject in artistic photography.
Our founder, director, and resident artist, Chang, is a photographer who sees our vibrant metropolis through the lens of his color blindness, offering a unique visual perspective. Stylistically, Chang manipulates cityscapes by playing with heightened symmetry and color contrasts, revealing a hidden sense of order beneath the chaos of Hong Kong’s urban landscape. His images often carry a fantastical sheen.
As a studio, we specialize in offering portrait photography in either Chang’s signature style or a classic studio approach. Whichever style you choose, you are the central figure of the final art piece. We also promote photography through workshops, offering advanced equipment and guidance for both young people and adults.
As a gallery, we provide a highly functional and avant-garde exhibition space for artists to collaborate and showcase their work.
