AN INTRODUCTION
This section consists of portraits and landscapes of people that I love and places that I hold dear. I love taking photos, and I think there is something so inherently magical in the ability to capture a split-second. Though this collection of photographs lacks the finesse of professional photography portfolios, I hope you find a simple but earnest beauty in these snapshots.
SEE ME IN THE TREES
Inspired by Taylor Swift's album "folklore", this collection of photographs celebrates the whimsicality of femininity. I think the black and white film used really brought out a nostalgic quality and added a bit of character to the photos.
"Please see me in the trees, I hit my peak at seven." -Taylor Swift, seven
DOWNTOWN ILOILO
CIRCA FEBRUARY 2020
The hustle and bustle of downtown Iloilo City has always enamored me, even as a child. There was something about the noise and the sheer amount of people that always captivated me. These photos were taken February 2020, just before the pandemic hit. It's sad to look back and see how different everything was back then.
MIAGAO ON FILM
CIRCA 2019 - 2020
Before the pandemic, I was studying and living in a small town in Panay called Miag-ao. I like to think that some of the happiest moments of my life were spent in that small coastal town. These are just a collection of photos that I took while I still lived there, a bittersweet reminder of better days.
MANDURRIAO, ILOILO
CIRCA NOVEMBER 2020
Like most people, I really like golden-hour afternoons. These are just a collection of photos that I took during the golden hour at Mandurriao in Iloilo City during a photowalk with my best friend. I eventually used these photos for my magazine, Paghinupang which you can peruse by looking through my profile.
UNBOUND BY TIME OR PLACE
The following is are just some photos that cannot really be easily categorized. Some of them I just took on a whim, others are just portraits of people close to me. Basically, these are just a random set of pictures.
