Rough Seas, Beautiful Portraits, and Remote Islands | Palawan Vlog #portraitphotography #philippines

Welcome to Araceli, Palawan, Philippines. In this adventure photography vlog, the Quan L. Smith Photography team travels from Puerto Princesa to the remote island municipality of Araceli for an unforgettable island hopping portrait session featuring model MiMi. What started as a simple tropical portrait shoot quickly turned into a real adventure. Rough seas, limited boats during Holy Week, changing schedules, and remote island conditions forced us to adapt and rethink the entire production. Using the Sony A1, Sigma 105mm 1.4, Sigma 85mm 1.4, DJI Action 6, DJI Mavic 3 Classic, and traditional Filipino bangkas, we explored beautiful beaches, limestone cliffs, turquoise water, and hidden island locations across Palawan.
