CEBU CITY, Philippines— An events photographer in Cebu is making waves online.

“This program had a course of Photography and Film Making. I was influenced by this and eventually ventured into the photography industry in 2011. I was 18 years old back then,” he said.

“The Money Heist prenuptial shoot was by far the most memorable shoot I did. This was because its concept was unique and really out of the box for these types of photoshoots. It also landed us in various news articles and blogs all around the world. What made it even more memorable was that it had gone viral in most of the countries in Asia, the United Kingdom, and even in Spain where the series originated from. It was indeed a proud moment for us,” he said.

Among some of his viral works include DC and Avatar-themed prenup shoots.
