His photographic work includes portraits, street, and landscape, combining both digital and analogue photography. His interest in photography started during his time in the fashion industry. He always enjoyed putting together style essays, often collaborating with friends, local photographers, and designers to create compelling visual stories. He was inspired by photographers and stylists that often grace the pages of local and international fashion magazines. He left the industry in 2011. After a three-year hiatus from all creative endeavours, he began pursuing photography at the beginning of 2014. He initially focused on street photography, after which he slowly branched out to portrait. He occasionally photographs landscape and architectures, often using this as inspiration and backdrop for his portrait projects. Born in the Philippines, José Luis currently works for a major luxury design house, lending his experience in visual merchandising, photography, social media, and event planning. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e738c95f08285dd81505fa/1642543334789-MD1FIQNL7X9C0L9NRDOL/E421AF2F-9705-433D-9A83-281C45D76717.jpeg TEAM - Kelly Macatangay, Co-founder and Managing Director (USA) Kelly has lived and worked professionally in three continents.
