PRIMERA - 2014 COLLABORATION -
J-Phil | Photography
To Everyone! 2014 was a great year for my photography career. A lot of collaboration happened. It was not only with models but also with make-up artist, stylist and designers. Meeting new people and learning new stuff is truly a wonderful adventure. It amaze me whenever I browse my old shots. For it is the time where I can see my improvements not only with my shots but also the development of my eyes on viewing things. The year is almost over. It is full of possibilities that I myself is not sure what is coming. The only thing I can guarantee is I will keep on trying to achieve my dreams. Thank you for your help everyone! I am looking forward to work with your guys again and to meet more people. - John Phillip Santos
