SarapYYC Event / Filipino Food Photography in Calgary
One of my favourite things to shoot is food photography. I see and handle food photography like I would a miniature landscape. With a landscape in nature it’s pretty hard to move a mountain, tree or river to get the shot you want. Moving a plate, fork or knife is effortless in comparison. Waiting for […]

Legaci Interview / Discovered by Justin Bieber
When Anne Claire Danan called me up one day and asked if I wanted to help her cover a story on Legaci I have to admit I was like, “who?!?”. We’ve all been there at one point or another. When someone you know helps you lead the way to new experiences. After saying yes I […]

Another different aspect of this […]
Mabuhay Calgary Advertisement / Happy St. Patrick’s Day
