Based in the coastal town of San Diego, California, He is a portrait and nature photographer with a special focus on ocean and coastal scenes. Born and raised by the water in the island of Philippines, he’s always been captivated by the vastness of the ocean and the beauty of nature’s simple moments. His work seeks to capture the unique textures, colors, and moods found in these landscapes—from misty shores to sunlit waves.
He began his photography journey capturing everyday natural beauty when he was stationed in Japan and has since refined his approach through photography classes and hands-on practice. His process is rooted in patience and observation, waiting for just the right light and conditions to bring out the true essence of a scene.
