The First Collection

It took me years to decide to release my very first collection. This series is deeply personal to me. It marks where I first discovered my passion for scouting models and transforming moments into something creatively intimate through photography.

The images are inspired by my childhood in Siargao, where I spent most of my days by the beach slowing down, watching sunlight dance across the water, and finding peace in the rhythm of the island. Shooting portraits there reminds me of that calm, unfiltered way of life, where everything felt simple and present.
This collection celebrates my journey both as a self-taught photographer and as a traveler across Southeast Asia with Siargao, my hometown, at its heart.

As someone shaped by community and place, this project also gives back. Fifty percent of all sales will be donated to a chosen community in my hometown, in gratitude for the roots that inspired this work.
