A platform for Filipino photographers from around the world.
Randy Martinez Legaspi
Tarlac native Randy Martinez Legaspi is a Civil Engineer currently working for a consulting company in Dubai. Happily married, with a two year old son, Randy originally bought his camera to document his son’s growth. Eventually, he got smitten by the hobby and decided to take his photography further than just clicking his son’s first steps, leaning the intricacies of using his basic gear. Luckily, he says, the results didn’t turn out to be disappointing. Now Randy says he is a photo aficionado for life.

Also known as “Wacky” to his friends, Michael Ryan Borja, is a 30 year old photographer and graphic artist. Full of playful antics, Ryan is respected and recognized by his photography buddies in the Kingdom of Bahrain as a worthy critic, teacher and mentor
He says of his craft, “I have a deep passion for arts. I love collecting people’s emotions through my pictures, and showing them to other people. We are all beautiful people.”
For Filipino painter Jonathan Benitez, art is not an occupation – it’s an advocacy. He says, “It’s a role given to me to help open the eyes of my audience or community about realities that may not be obvious to them; to orient them with the fact that there is more to life than just trying to get what you can get. We all have our roles in the society, and mine just happens to be that of a culture bearer. I live in a place where environmental advocacy is strong; I help reflect this in my art.”
