Photography isn’t just my job or passion—it’s who I am. It shapes how I see the world, connects me to others, and helps me capture the beauty in every moment. It’s a way of storytelling and self-expression that defines my identity and fuels my purpose.
Testing the Godox AD400 Pro’s versatility, powerful, and Fast recycling time! Which can be as quick as 0.01 to 1 Seconds!
This allows me to shoot in burst, making it ideal for fast moving subjects or working in a high paced environment! I really like the consistent color temperature, and compatibility with various lighting modifiers.
With my Canon EOS R and the 70-200mm EF lens paired with the Godox AD400 Pro, Parabolic 65, and XPro II, i have a powerful setup for a variety of photography scenarios!

My motivation, my source of inspiration, my world, my family.
Lately, I’ve been extra grateful for the genuine people God has placed in my life. The kind of friends who bring peace, laughter, and remind you that real connections still exist.
Life hasn’t been perfect, but moments and people like these make everything meaningful.
Just one of those days where everything felt easy.
Shot this with Georgia by the beach, good light, a bit of wind, and no pressure. We just went with it. Let the sun do its thing, moved around, and captured what felt natural in the moment.
I really enjoyed the process of this collaboration.
These are the kind of shoots I appreciate the most.
This shot highlights what the Nothing 4a Pro can really do.
Even in a high-contrast, controlled setup, the phone holds detail from highlights to shadows, clean, no break. The spotlight falloff is smooth, and textures stay sharp without looking overprocessed.
The subject holding the phone makes it the hero of the frame, it’s not just used, it’s part of the story. The phone isn’t just the tool here, it’s the hero in every frame.
special shoutout to my @digitalwalkerph fambam for trusting me with this campaign :)
Straight out of camera, this already hits.
Shot on the Canon EOS R1 + Canon RF 85mm f/1.2L sharp eyes, smooth falloff, clean separation. The 85 just compresses everything nicely, walang distraction.
Natural light doing the work. Soft, wrapped, controlled. No need to overcomplicate.
Convert to black and white, you remove the color and let light + shadows carry the image. That’s where it becomes stronger.
“Walang pilit. Let the tones speak. Shadows do the work.”
Shot this of Jay R using the amaran Ray 360 as my key, then used the Ray 660 just to give a bit of shape in the background.
Nothing complicated, I just focused on the light on his face and let everything else fall off naturally. The blue tones helped set the mood without overthinking it.
Sometimes keeping it simple is what makes it work.
This one, I approached with intention, clean, intimate, and all about texture.
Shot on the Canon EOS R5 paired with the Canon RF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS USM, I stayed around the 135–200mm range. That compression is key, it flattens the face just enough, removes distortion, and gives you that classic portrait feel. It’s subtle, but it’s what makes the image feel timeless.
I don’t try to fix the shadows, I let them fall where they naturally want to. That’s where the depth comes from. If you overcorrect, you kill the mood. Especially when I know I’m going black and white, I protect those shadows… because that’s where all the drama lives.
Not hiding imperfections here but honoring them. That’s what gives the image soul.
This is the kind of frame where less really does more.
This frame is a perfect example of how the Nothing Phone (4a) Pro can hold its own in a controlled, cinematic setup.
Even in a low-light, high-contrast environment, the phone delivers clean shadows and rich tonal depth without losing detail. The subject is placed against the wall, letting the light from the amaran Ray 360 mounted on a projector do the heavy lifting. That setup creates this beautiful, focused beam that blooms outward, giving you that halo-like spread and textured falloff.
It shows that with the right lighting and vision, the Nothing Phone (4a) Pro isn’t just a casual shooter it’s capable of producing images that feel crafted, cinematic, and production ready.
Thank you Digital Walker and Nothing for the trust in bringing this vision to life.
Shot entirely using the Nothing A4 Pro.
Built with a custom preset I created in Expert Mode, giving me full control over ISO, shutter, and color tuning to really shape the final look.
What makes this setup powerful is the camera system:
a 50MP main sensor with OIS for sharp detail, paired with a periscope zoom that lets you compress and isolate subjects even in tight compositions.
That flexibility makes it easier to create depth and intention even on a phone. Sobrang Solid lang.
Lit with the Amaran Ray 660 mounted on an Amaran projector to achieve that layered distortion and controlled highlights, something that feels both clean and chaotic, like seeing through the noise.
Color was intentional: deep reds against cool blue to create tension and pull focus where it matters.
This isn’t just a shot—it’s a system:
camera + light + preset working together.
Back in the studio shooting this one-of-a-kind campaign for the @nothing 4A Series and headphones , all captured using just the phone.
Sharing a glimpse of what I do and how we brought this set to life using the @amarancreators Ray Series lights.
Big thanks to @digitalwalkerph for the opportunity.
Special thanks to the whole team behind this shoot @craftedbyrjhay@glnnhvcnc@audreyywangg@belovedxia@doooodieee and the rest of the team salamat ng marami.
Appreciate my brother @dukerodriguez__ for helping me out on this shoot, and @lm_felipe for capturing the BTS.
