connection is key
BUILDING A RELATIONSHIP
Most of the meaningful photos aren't always the technically perfect.
Most of the technically perfect photos aren't always meaningful.
​
It's more of capturing YOU than just having a new photo for your profile
​
I want to make photographs that create a sense of connection back to those sensations and moments as the years go by. So it is my desire to build a relationship with you akin to a friend. The more that we trust each other, the better we can collaborate, and the better that we can create a more personal and unique end result. Thus, I want you to look out for other photographers to make sure you feel comfortable and have that connection present whomever you choose.
​
Being able to connect with you on a more personal level is part-and-parcel of the work that we do but to be able to genuinely create a connection with you is a desire that we always want have unconditionally.
one thing to remember
IT'S NOT JUST PHOTOS
Remember that once the special day ends and all the dopamine rush of the celebration has faded away, all that will remain would be the photos in your special moments.
Ergo, they are not just photos.
Let me repeat that, "they are not just photos."
They are your legacy moments. They are your your small patch in the fabric of human history that you can call your own. They will be stories that you can go back to yourselves or tell your children or the generations to come.
So, again, with the utmost and unequivocal show of concern for your special moments,
"they are not just photos."
how i operate
THIS IS NOT A PHOTOSHOOT
Relax and just enjoy the process ! If you ever feel awkward, it will surely show in the photos. I know how intimidating and weird it can be to be in front of a camera, being an introvert myself. So, I'll play some music over my bluetooth speaker and try to make things as chill as possible so we can create photos that feels more like you.
​
I like to tell my clients that I'll be there in every step that they'll need me to and to be out of the way when they don't. I'll never try to be a "fly on the wall" or let you do the same pose several times to get a better angle. But I can promise that I will be present with you all the way.
the small details
CREATING A MORE
PERSONAL PART OF HISTORY
I always try to integrate the subject's personal story into the photos. I believe that more than just the visual appeal of the photos, it will ultimately be your story that will speak through to make them as personal and unique to you than others. In this way, we can create and contribute not only a gallery of photos but a visual history of the life, the love, and the countless memories that you have.
sort of a time machine
CAPTURING MOMENTS IN TIME
I love taking and making photographs. But more than that, I love capturing moments in time, which for most part are fleeting and ephemeral; encapsulating the emotions, the life, and the love of the people in it.
​
The more that I get to live life, the more that I get to realise that sometimes it is the more fleeting and candid moments that will hold more meaning. I do love taking beautiful, romantic, and stunning photos but I'm more concerned on the candid photographs that will mean so much with the years to come than they would today,
eventually it leads to this
EXPERIENCES AND PERSPECTIVES MATTER
I have photographed different occassions - from weddings, birthdays, debuts, family gatherings, the usual funshoots, and even just ordinary and simple days. In all of those, I try as much to approach them as if I'm doing it for a close friend or family. I want to photograph them as h0w I would want the special moments in my life would be photographed - a visual journal of sorts that would bring me back not only to the moments but to the emotions once felt in the photo.
the best venue
WHERE YOU FEEL MOST AT HOME
I have experienced living in different parts of the country throughout my young life. In each of those places, I have found a slight semblance of home in a park where I first felt of the independent kind of freedom, in a coffee shop where creativity and relationships seem to always brew, along the beach where the warmth of the sun touched a wandering soul, and probably anywhere as long as I have a good book on hand.
​
I am always excited to see places, even the mundane which have overtime acquired a meaning and value. So the best venue is not always where tourists go but where value and meaning once sprang.
​
Although sometimes, home is not a place but rather someone.
it's not about the fancy show
EVERY PHOTO IS A MEMENTO OF ONCE UPON A TIME
I try as much to capture those little intimate moments that only happen in pure unguarded glimpses of time. These are the moments that rarely happen day by day and it is with a passion that I'd be able to capture those. So in the end, what you will remember is only of that moment, of how it felt to be there, of how once upon a time you were there, and not necessarily me, my art, and photographs.
​
Most of the time, I do try to shoot photos and capture moments the way that I would like the special moments in my life would be captured and photographed.
