My name is Axel, and my journey with photography and filmmaking began five years ago when I first borrowed a camera. From that moment, I discovered the profound joy in capturing fleeting moments and transforming them into lasting memories. What I cherish most about my work is the deep connection it creates with people. Whether it's boosting someone's self-confidence or capturing the essence of a feeling.
Rooted in the Filipino tradition of Bayanihan, which embodies communal unity and selfless help, my work is a celebration of this ethos. As a Filipino-American filmmaker and photographer, I am dedicated to creating authentic documentary storytelling that transcends boundaries and fosters genuine human connections.
With curiosity and empathy, I seek to understand the diversity of the human experience. My aim is to touch the hearts of those unfamiliar, to kindle a spirit of exploration and appreciation in every viewer. Through my lens, I invite you to see the world with fresh eyes, to embrace the beauty of our differences, and to join me in a journey of discovery and connection.
