COLORS

Color can whisper or shout. I lean into soft, vivid tones that feel natural to the eye: lively but never loud, emotional without the drama.

On Phu Quoc Island, Vietnam, light shifts fast — sea haze, palm shade, golden evenings — so I build color around what the scene already offers. The result is clean skin tones, elegant contrast, and a palette that feels true to the tropics.

Good color doesn’t steal the frame; it guides it. I start with light that flatters faces and keeps textures honest. Pastels stay fresh, blues and greens stay believable, and bold accents appear only where the story needs emphasis — a red lip, a teal dress, a sun flare at the right second.

I avoid heavy saturation and forced “film looks,” focusing instead on mood, clarity, and consistency across the whole set. Each gallery should read like one chapter, not a pile of separate pictures.

In post, I keep whites clean, shadows gentle, and transitions smooth, so prints and screens match closely.

I remove color distractions, align the series to a shared tone curve, and deliver a balanced set ready for web, social, and large-format print. Couples, families, and brands choose this approach because it ages well: subtle enough for editorials, warm enough for personal stories, and always connected to the island’s light.
