About me

_______

"THE WORLD AS I SEIZE IT.."

I have always been fascinated by how some artists and photographers seize the human character in its very essence.and expess it in its artistic form. With this, I set to the same trying to wrestle with the goal of trying to create a unique style of my own. Somehow, it has been a learning journey along the way.

 

I am San Diego-based photographer. I live in City of Chula Vista, CA. I am open to the idea of traveling for clients outside of this area. I have started focusing on the people and events. Sometimes I question myself whether I am really an artist. But then again, regardless, I thought I should pursue this passion for human portraiture as worthy as I believe. In the end, I wish to let my photograph speaks for itself for whatever creative worth it has.

I particularly specialize in Portraits ( studio and on-location) and people events, although I have some other photographic experiences as well in landscape, macro, surreal and abstraction. I have photographed a number of weddings and some other social events like engagement, christening, and the like.

 

I also craft slideshow presentation of photos using the Pro-Show Producer for professional photographers.

As part fo my ongoing desire to grow further, I have ventured to engage in short video production, particularly specializing on mtv-like production with some pre-planning with the client.

Statement

_______

I use photography as a means to explore the world of portraiture, to delve into the fine shades of human character and to show glimpses of the uniqueness of the soul. With it, I seize moments to conjure up images of emotions, as constructed or as they happen in their natural setting. My goal is to imprint on the minds of the beholders to see through the beauty of the human forms, and so move their imagination in more creative way possible.

 

My choice of subject comes from my interest on the concept of beauty, the precarious strength of the human mood. I utilize creative lighting as I can to match these ideas to mean something. I do seize moments that speak candidly or emphasize human characters and emotions in their more controlled, noteworthy forms.

 

I am inspired to compose and recreate images that would take the quality of being removed from the everyday reality, into timelessness and yet still “here and now.” I am also challenged to seize mundane subjects to take on new meaning as to deserve the beholders' attention.. I am inspired to make these images, not just to take them... This is my ongoing personal drive.
