That said, it obviously didn't bother the subject, as she seemed to have fun. So, IMO, it was a successful portrait. Portraits are different than other types of photography. They have to appeal to the subject first. All other viewers, including other women are secondary to the purpose. In these parts, a portrait portfolio including several similar shots would sell a number of jobs for Phong. Girls here drive dually pickup trucks with diesel engines, go to rodeos, cook for their men and kick their men's butts if they mess around.
