Previously known as “Love & Lens” (@lovexlens)
I used to hide behind my camera and a pseudonym, afraid to show my true self, vision, and style. But now I’m ready to step out of the shadows and just be myself. I’m excited to finally share my authentic voice with the world.
I thrive on making connections with people and learning their unique stories. Not only does it make life more interesting, but also makes me a better person and photographer.
A lover of film photography in both colour and black & white, I appreciate the timeless quality it brings to my images, even in a digital world. I’m a closet romantic who embraces a semi-minimalistic lifestyle, except when it comes to my beloved camera gear. Whether I’m exploring new landscapes or immersing myself in a new culture, my camera is always by my side, ready to capture life’s precious moments.
When I’m not physically travelling, I satisfy my wanderlust through food. Whether I’m cooking, eating, or photographing it (#phoneeatsfirst), food will always have a special place in my heart.
We took a year off from 2016-17 to travel. It helped us take a break from the monotony of working life. We were ready for adventure and to see the world. From Europe to South East Asia, we were fortunate to come across interesting people and places. It also helped kickstart my venture into freelancing.
It is hard to believe that it has been so long. Where has the time gone? I first started my journey in commercial food photography and have photographed food for magazines, packaging, billboards, print and digital marketing materials before working more with people.
Yes, food is life. Both eating and cooking it. Being exposed through my commercial work, I learned a lot about food from recipe developers, food stylists and chefs. Travel has made me appreciate and understand my own culture much better. Bringing Filipino food (and many other cultures) to the mainstream spotlight is one of my goals.
