I am a Philippine-based visual artist who loves creating images, through art and photography. I don’t consider my self as a “photographer “ but more of an visual story teller. I’ve been an artist all my life, being a painter, sculptor, designer. My journey into the realms of (digital) photography stemmed from documenting the world around me for my painting reference, and as art director for my commercial work. I started photography as my way of self-expression at times when i can’t paint and to document and explore the world around me, to interact with people and listen their stories because i believe that everyone has a story to tell. These in turn fuel my paintings. This is the reason why i chose to do street photography. I am attracted to the unposed, unplanned stories offered by the street in raw. Street Photography is a documentation of life as it happen, its nuances and tones. Aside from trying to capture images that are technically good i also strive to capture images with depth sans gimmickry. I try to find a way for my images to break the written boundaries and get that one of a kind shot. My early influences were the creative concepts of Robert Doisneau and Siegfried Hansen, the stories told by the photos of Jill Freedman, and  the colors of a Saul Leiter photograph, to name a few. I believe in the idea that the best camera is what you have in your hands. So i make images irregardless of what device i have at the moment of creation, be it a hefty dslr, a wieldy mirrorless, pocket-size point and shoot or just a phone cam.
