Hi, I’m Dar! I’m a photographer from Manila, Philippines, and I’ve just moved to Los Angeles this year. Alongside my art practice, I also take on commissioned photography for personal milestones, portraits, and events.

​

I’ve been working as a freelance photographer since 2013, specializing in pole and aerial portraits since 2017. Most of my clients tell me the same thing: I make them feel relaxed, confident, and surprised at how easy it feels—even if they’re camera-shy or worried about looking awkward on camera.

​

I’m used to working with real people, not just models. I’ll guide you with simple, natural directions, keep the energy light, and bring lots of encouragement (especially helpful with high-energy kids!). If you’re not sure where to start, I can also help with creative ideas, styling suggestions, or even build a concept deck.

​

I’m currently open to collaborations and commissioned shoots here in LA. For inquiries, please send me an email or DM on IG —I’d love to hear from you!
