Try something like this.

.profile-photo {
width: 20%;
float: left; 
margin: 0 5% 80px 0; 
display: inline-block;
}

Img is an inline element therefore margins will not work on them, which is why i added the display property. Also, whenever you float an element, also use the width property or you'll get unexpected results. Hope this helps.
