You've likely attempted to decode my name by now and if you're still wondering, it's just a quirky twist on "Jake". I am a freelance photographer based in Winnipeg, Manitoba but more than ready for worldwide adventures -- specializing in portraits, lifestyle, and wedding.
Behind the lens, I am a dog dad, a lover of dance and a registered nurse. Ever since I could remember, I have always gravitated towards the arts. Art has always given me the opportunity to be myself and express myself when words can’t. Dance, graphite and acrylic paint were my original medium until I discovered my love for photography at age 14.
When you look through my work, you’ll find that there’s a little bit of everything. I love photographing genuine human connections and people in diverse creative atmospheres. My goal as your photographer isn’t just to provide images for you to look back on but also contribute to a beautiful and unforgettable experience with imagery that depicts your unique story and the memories they portray.
Growing up Filipino, taking photos has alway been the norm. Whether that means taking photos of food, family, events, ourselves… you name it. We love to preserve memories so we can relive them again and again.
You can say that this has played a huge influence in my interest in photography. I have always loved taking photographs as a child, bringing a film camera or my pre-loved flip phone with a built-in camera to school. I loved documenting just about anything I found interesting. Pairing that up with a natural fondness of art, I eventually took up photography as a hobby in my teen years and have been hooked ever since.
Photography is a powerful tool. I love the idea of transpiring an idea or a vision from one's mind but also the ability to freeze time in the form of images that you can look back on endlessly. Photography is a visual of represetaion of life.
