About me
I am a British-Filipina photographer and content producer, with over a decade of experience in shooting and producing a variety of projects, in both the commercial and editorial spheres. My career as a photographer began with reportage for events and concerts back in 2009 - currently, I shoot predominantly editorial portraiture and fashion as well as lifestyle content and still life for brands. For four years I was the photo editor for the Tatler Asia brand, where I worked in the Hong Kong office across print and digital to produce visual content - photography and illustrations - for cover stories, feature stories, advertorials, and events. With my hands-on approach to work and strong attention to detail, I am confident in my photographic and production abilities to deliver high quality editorial and commercial projects that require portrait, lifestyle, fashion, food & beverage, travel, and/or reportage photography. I am based out of Göttingen, Germany but can easily travel to big cities like Hannover, Berlin, Hamburg and Frankfurt. I am also open to travel to other countries around the EU, particularly France, as well as within the UK.
