Two Dissimilar Portraits from an Individual Photoshoot on Phu Quoc Island
As I wrote earlier, I don’t like to post separate vertical photos (with portrait orientation). Therefore, I merged these two completely different images into one — both taken during an individual portrait photoshoot on Phu Quoc Island — and will say a few words about them separately.
So, the left photo. There’s a paradox here. You see tropical ferns, a smiling girl in a summer sundress and a wide-brimmed hat. And at the same time, the same burning coldness as the single portrait of Petras in the previous post. But here the coldness is even more exaggerated to bluish-blue tones.
Heat-loving tropical plants in a cold February forest. In the upper part of the frame, among the trees, a clearing is visible. To emphasize the coldness, I made a slight overexposure, tinting it in the same coolish shade. As if the winter chill is sneaking into the frame, absorbing the yellow tropical flower in the left part of this frame, filling the entire photograph with its cold drizzle.
This is a perfect example of how portrait photography on Phu Quoc Island can combine natural surroundings with artistic toning — especially when you're looking for more than just a smiling beach photo.
The right photo is a completely different story. A beautiful girl with an athletic build, like a sculptural composition on a pedestal. A modern glamorous interpretation of a Soviet girl with an oar, personifying the health and beauty of the Soviet people. To maintain the image of sculpture in the frame, I gave the girl and the palm leaves a certain "plasticity" due to the brownish tonality.
And around, everything is whitish and textured, like some kind of all-encompassing pedestal for this living sculpture. This kind of portrait — strong, unusual, and full of contrast — is something I love to create during custom photo sessions on Phu Quoc, when we can move beyond standard visuals and dive into something conceptual.
These are the fifth and sixth photographs from the series of photos by Petras and Anastasia — a couple who chose not just a beautiful background, but a full storytelling experience through their individual photo shoot on Phu Quoc Island.
Celebrate your relationship or your individuality with a photoshoot that reflects who you are. Whether it's romantic, creative, or conceptual — your story deserves to be told beautifully.
