Commissioned work
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!
