I’m Eduard Stelmakh — a photographer and retoucher based on Phu Quoc Island in Vietnam. Recently, I had the pleasure of traveling to Turkey to conduct a master class for photographers in Samsun. During this creative event, I shot a portrait of a Turkish country club owner and applied soft, cinematic post‑processing to transform the image into a classy and emotional visual story.
This portrait reflects not only Turkey’s character and beauty but also my personal style shaped by years of working in tropical light on Phu Quoc. I combined natural Turkish textures and mood with precise Adobe Photoshop adjustments — transforming raw data into an image rich in atmosphere and subtle emotion.
For photographers and models across the globe, this photo demonstrates how I bring storytelling and island light into every frame. Whether it's Phu Quoc or Turkey, I deliver a consistent creative vision and high-end retouching.
Want to learn how I craft these images or bring your photos to life with master‑level editing? I offer remote retouching and workshops inspired by my travels — from Phu Quoc to Turkey and beyond.

I wrote about the portrait of the mistress of the Turkish country club.
And here is a picture of the owner. He has kindly made his riding club available to us.
A little Photoshop magic and a very different, classy picture stares back at us. With a different emotion and a completely different story in the picture.
