'Tips' for taking photos 'virtual life' with SUP in Phu Quoc

Translated by Bing
Visitors are instructed on the position of lying on the SUP, how to place the hands, bend the legs ... to have a satisfactory 'virtual life' photo in Phu Quoc.

Taking photos with SUP (Standup Paddle Board) is one of the most attractive activities in Phu Quoc, especially in the dry season. However, it is not easy to get a good photo if you do not know how to pose on the board, align the angle. Therefore, many people choose package tours, including taking photos with drones from above for fast and convenient.


Before taking pictures, visitors listen to the tour guide (HDV) show each lying movement, leg contraction, how to place hands ... meticulously, so as to be sure to take good photos.


First, you must choose a floating color SUP, suitable for a clear sea background. Tour guides use a rope as a mark on the SUP. Visitors sit in the marked position, one leg straightened, one leg contracted. Visitors must face down the tip of the stretched foot to make the leg look longer, while the thumb of the leg curls up, lightly touching the other ankle, half-closed. Next, visitors just need to adjust hand postures such as: passing over the head, holding glasses ...



After listening to the instructions, visitors board the SUP and are given a position a few meters from the shore under the assistance of staff. Another employee used a megaphone to show how to pose again. Since many people are shooting at the same time, visitors should remember the voice of their guide, avoiding confusion. If you follow the instructions correctly, in just a few minutes you have a "virtual live" photo.


On domestic travel forums, this photography service is controversial. Some say the guided pose will produce stereotypical, non-signature shots. On the other hand, many argue that although the photos are the same, each person's experience is different. Besides, visitors will spend less time fiddling with SUP than taking selfies. Besides, many visitors are satisfied with the product, praising the tour guide for taking "conscientious and enthusiastic" photos.


The price of day tours ranges from about 700,000 VND to more than 1 million VND for an adult, including lunch. Depending on the itinerary you choose, prices fluctuate differently, in which the four most popular places are: May Withdraw Trong island, Gam Ghì island, Buom island and Sao beach. Guests prepare bikinis, or rent maxi dresses to take photos depending on the scene.
