LETTING THE INSIDE MATCH THE OUTSIDE
Almost all of us live two lives: What people see outside and what is really going on inside. People tend to judge by outward appearances & so can easily be fooled.
In every photo shoot the first thing that I will ask the model to do is to look serene, “Show me your best serene look.” I find it interesting to see different faces of people/model expressing calmness because I know that it’s hard...

Hi Art! there’s a new guy in town, would you be interested to shoot him?
A: sure! is he a new model? from what agency?
He’s just a friend who models.
A: cool!

A: ok, thanks!
My very first test shoot for this year 2012.
I’d stopped doing test shoot late last year I was quite handful and couldn’t accommodate shoots,...
This book came from a friend who contributed a lot in shaping my career as a photographer.

WE ARE NOT HERE TO BE SUCCESSFUL...
We had it shoved to our faces and dangled under our noses a hundred times that you’re successful if you’re good looking, have big savings, if business is doing well, if you have power and position, if you have all the new gadgets, and if you can travel the world—- those things are the measure of you being successful.
I remember January this year, when I decided to toss my lucrative...

WatchMOVING ART
A good photographer knows how to be transgressive & commercial at the same time. My first attempt to shoot something commercial was a failure, you heard it right I failed. You often hear success stories of photographers and rarely hear their failures but I want to be completely honest (hope this won’t scare my future clients off) we were supposed to shoot a commercial headshot...

“SHORT LIVED RADIO SHOW BUT THE IMPACT THEY MADE LASTS.”
Models don’t normally talk, yeah some do hosting jobs & whatnot but rare you’ll find models with substance if you know what I mean. I’m not kissing @#$ on line, if I wasn’t familiar with SARAH MEIER & VICKY HERERRA then I would mistaken DOLLHOUSE for a contemporary gospel radio show. Maaan I...

“Someone’s other half.”
If we were to look at everybody we encountered as “someone’s other half”, would it change, I wonder, the manner in which we treated them?
Would we be more accepting of their inconsistencies and annoying habits, thinking that somewhere in the world there was another human…

ART IS NOT EXCLUSIVE
This is my dream exhibit & I want it open to the public. I want my photos printed in huge billboard sizes. Picture this, ——- my work that people could see from afar in Intramuros Manila or Luneta maybe with a very Filipino setting.
You see, I believe that art is for everyone, it shouldn’t be exclusive. Don’t get me wrong, I have nothing against people or artists who exhibit...

HOOP IN THE SUN
I saw this Basketball court along Roxas Boulevard early this year, was really amazed of the character of this place it’s like a NEWYORK-ISH Street Basketball court but PINOY version. Whenever I pass Roxas I would imagine my next editorial shoot here, but really had no idea who’s going to be my subject, I was like can I shoot model here? regardless if it’s male or female the...

HERE COMES THE SUN...
Sunrise or sunset? Seriously, it’s sunset can’t wake up that early to wait for the sun to rise. When I want to hang time with God I just stare at the sky. yeah, sounds cheessy but seriously it’s effective. Meditating God’s word really helps because our mind is so preoccupied with a lot of stuff. If you read his word just for the sake of reading it I don’t...
HARD WORK PAID OFF!
I’ve been busy posting my shots of Philippine fashion week 2011 two weeks ago. I thought people will not appreciate the not-so-beautiful-scenes-backstage. I know we’ve seen some backstage scenes of fashion shows abroad like in NEW YORK, MILAN, PARIS etc. and this great cities are always in the radar of PINOYS whose in the fashion industry.
The back stage photos of fashion shows...

I’ve been blown away by the potential of the people I work with. That’s what I love about life these days….I’m constantly being surprised.
It’s so exciting when you see the potential a person has in this world. But the challenge I find is making them see it for themselves. (It’s like holding…

Dear Manila,
The blog you see on this title has a story.
I was walking to my Phil FW TV dressing room last October 2010. (I could hardly call it a dressing room because we were squeezed into the holding room of all these racks of clothes.) I just bought sweets and needed to recharge, and along the way back, I see two strangers holding cameras. We made eye contact. I smiled....

VOYEURISM IN PHOTOGRAPHY
Blast from the past!
I’ve been using this style “voyeurism” since 2009, this shot was taken from SASSA JIMENEZ’ show. basically its hard when you don’t have the right equipment but it didn’t stop me. A swarming horde of photographers were in front of me, their lenses were all huge & can swallow me alive. I was using a tiny little lens and obviously...
