 Manny was a full-time teacher at
an international school in
Bangkok where he discovered his
passion for photography, and
where the rest of the online
world discovered his unique
“purely ambient light” approach
to glamour, fashion, and travel
portraiture.

Named by Scott Kelby in 2010 as one of the Top Five photographers in the world (that you’ve never
heard of), Manny holds annual photography workshops worldwide including New York, Los
Angeles, San Francisco, Amsterdam, Toronto, Quebec, Dubai, Kuwait, Sydney, Melbourne, Egypt,
Singapore, the Philippines, etc. Manny has an uncanny ability to spot ambient light on the set and
render them artistically onto his photographs. This style is so unique, and his photographs so
compelling, that many professional photographers the world over have flown to Bangkok to spend
a weekend shooting & learning from him.

Manny’s captivating photographs regularly top online photography competitions. In addition,

they’ve graced numerous UNICEF calendars, commercial work, international magazines, and the
covers of some of the world’s leading photography publications (Asian Geographic and the Digital
Photographer Magazine.)
 Stories of Her Life
Iloilo, Philippines
April 2006
Rosalinda, mother of eleven, a cigarette vendor. There’s a lot more to tell.
But I don’t want to state the obvious. Just take a closer look and examine
every line of her wrinkles. The saying that “some pictures are worth a
thousand words” is an understatement in the case of Rosalinda. Any
picture of her is worth a thousand of stories with a million words.
