Tell us a little bit about yourself, your education, you first job maybe, and how did you start photography?
• I took up AB – Multimedia Arts in De la Salle-College of Saint Benilde
• My first job,. . I worked as a lightman, PA, runner, “boy” in my father’s studio/office,“utusan” to make it short hehe I was 17 yrs old that time. Then eventually become a photographer when I was 18 or 19 yrs old. I started at P150 as a lightman/PA per wedding. Then nung naging photographer ako I started P800 per wedding. Mahirap matuto ng photography noon kasi limited ang resources to learn, I bought pirated video tutorials, searched photography websites, attended workshops etc…
Then ayun tuloy tuloy na. I started my own photography business, joined competitions local and international, and because of my passion, dedication, determination and the help of family and friends and prayers sympre nakuha ko lahat ng ito:
