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.
I'LL BE IN TOUCH SOON!
