As the sun sets, the more intense it gets!

Check out some of my favorite shots with Race Snaps from the Sundown Aquathlon event!

This was one for the books! In another awesome collab with Race Snaps, we captured the raw speed, endurance, and emotion—from kids dashing through the course to adults pushing their limits. With the golden sundown glow, every shot felt cinematic. Truly a one-of-a-kind experience.

Suit up and celebrate — Sonder Films is here to capture the spirit of Building Success Together.

Day 1 at the Philippine Franchise Association-PFA with Leslie Corporation was nothing short of inspiring. From the iconic Minute Burger, to the smoky goodness of BBQ Bob and Butcher Bob PH, I had the honor of documenting the stories behind the brands — the passionate people, the hardworking teams, and the aspiring franchisees ready to take their shot at success.

This was more than just a job — it was a front-row seat to the hustle and heart of the franchise world.

Sonder Films x Pocari Sweat (Philippines): Photowalk Series Pt. 4

Laced up, camera in hand, and a bottle of Pocari Sweat to keep me hydrated as another exciting chapter unfolds. Becoming a Pocari Sweat brand ambassador has given me the chance to capture not just moments, but the stories in every stride, the laughter between breaks, and the incredible people I met along the way. Each frame I captured holds a piece of that energy, that shared moment of movement and motivation. Sonder Films isn’t just about photos; it’s about the stories we leave behind. Until the next run.

This Photowalk Series is just the beginning of what you can look forward to from Sonder Films. For high-quality downloads of these photos, check out the official Google Drive linked below, folder named: "Photowalk Series". You can also check out my other works on the provided GDrive Enjoy the journey!

I’m not usually the type to flex my achievements, but I do want to take a moment to look back and appreciate the journey. After a whirlwind of overwhelming events yesterday, it’s only now that everything is truly sinking in.

Seeing how far I’ve come and how many people support what I do fills me with so much gratitude. To everyone who has been with me since the beginning—thank you. I couldn’t have done this without you.

From 10 event partnerships, 3 private events, and 4 organization collaborations in just a year, what started as a simple passion project has grown into something I never imagined—a real opportunity for success.
