I studied Photography at De La Salle-College of St. Benilde and opted to become a freelance photo assistant shortly after graduating. Assisting was such a humbling experience for me, but it was essential to my growth as a professional.

Over the years I found myself constantly assisting a photographer whom I will eventually consider as my mentor, Tom Epperson. After several years of working with Tom, he asked me what is arguably the most important question in my career:

“When are you going to make your move?”

In 2015 I started making my transition from photo assistant to photographer, focusing my efforts on building a body of work that would define my identity as an artist. I’m currently expanding my photography career in the United Arab Emirates.
