—Too insane to imagine.

—Ano ang espesyal sa kategorya ng photography kung saan ka dalubhasa?

—I love capturing people's real emotions. My photoshoots involve short walks, dancing, playfullness, movement etc. All of it makes it so much more real and special.

—Paano ka tumatanggap ng pagpuna?

—At frst I laugh, cry, hate all at the same time for a brief second and then I try to understand the critizism, is it a reliable source to change something, to learn from it and is it something I benefit from.
Because sometimes criticism comes from clients who simply want to haggle with price.

—Ano ang dapat na pamantayan ng isang customer sa pagpili ng photographer?

—Portfolio is a big part of it, but make sure you like the person!Now matter how well a photographer offers you guidance or ideas during the photo shoot, if you don't feel comfortable with them, you won't get the desired result.

—Ano ang mga bagay na dapat iwasan kapag kumukuha ng larawan?

—Starting to shoot from minute 1. If I have new clients, I take 10 minutes to walk to the destination and simply chat. With those ten minutes they forget that I am a stranger and real peronalities and emotions start to surface.

You measure it with your own happiness.

—Paano mo tinuturuan ang sarili mo na kumuha ng mas magagandang mga larawan?

Also, working with other photographers and scrolling through good photography on Instagram is a good way to get the idea juices flowing.

—Kailan ka ganap na nasisiyahan sa iyong trabaho?

—Naniniwala ka ba sa tradisyunal na mga papel para mga sa lalaki at babae?

—What's traditional? What does it mean? Traditions are different all over the world, they mostly come into our lives trhough media, through other people or from a different timeframe. If people and pretty much everything else evolve with time, why shouldn't the roles for men and women. So no, I do not believe in them in a way that makes the media a clickmagnet nowadays. I trust in nature and I believe men and women are different, they should celebrate it, but their right to do things have to be equal!
