I’m excited to share a very personal project I’ve been working on over the summer, inspired by my maternal grandad and his family bakery – Gung Ho Bakery. Infamous in its time, and a household name in Manila’s Chinatown, it was known for for its eclectic mix of Filipino-Chinese and colonial style baked goods –…
I don’t know about you, but when I think about Valentine’s, I think chocolate. Working with food stylist Tim Schilling, we captured the variety of naturally forming textures of a simple ingredient. We were inspired by natural forms, from mountains to rock faces to canyon ranges, as well as the rich earthy palette of chocolate…
Like many people, my relationship with food has been complicated. And because it’s something so essential to our daily existence, it is something we cannot escape.

I wanted to share a little project I’ve been working on—titled “It’s the thought that counts”, a lighthearted photo series of good intentions gone awry. It captures those well-meaning but slightly off moments we’ve all experienced—awkward, lighthearted situations where the effort is there, but the execution misses the mark, whether in emotional sensitivity, timing, or…
The Easter long weekend is all about indulgence—whether that means wrangling kids on a chocolate high, enjoying a quiet moment to yourself, or just having some well-earned Netflix time. This year, Baileys took that idea to the next level with their expertly crafter Egg-spresso recipes, which I recently had the pleasure of photographing. As the…
I don’t know about you, but I think pastels for spring is just overdone. Is there anything new that can be said about the most beautiful time of year? I worked with talented food stylist Tim Schilling to create a series of still life photos that capture the season in a different light. Hope you…
