Everyone who knows me knows that Binondo is my go-to place for a photo walk - portrait, fashion, street, name it. My love for this dramatic town has grown bigger and bigger each time I visit. And finally after a long hiatus in photography, I was able to set foot in chinatown with my new gear (yay!) to capture some sundown portraits.
Also I was lucky enough to have amazing friends who are always down for anything. Shout out to Meryll Yanga, Jude Lopez and Russel Concepcion! You guys are amazing! <3
So here’s what went down that day…
At around 5pm, Meryll and I were walking around the streets of Poblete, and we stopped by this store that sells different types of candles and other chinese figurines to take couple of shots.

As we were heading to Ongpin, we walked pass by this commercial building that has a very interesting deck. So Meryll and I gave it a chance and guess what... it looked amazing!
A trip to Binondo wouldn't be complete without those stores with neon lights...
I also took my new Sony a6500 to the test. See, I have always been afraid to shoot in lowlight. And I thought I was never gonna pull off this shoot, but boy, was I surprised with the outcome…
(And who says I can't pose for a photo for being too busy that day...well... atleast one)
And... that's a wrap!

And another set for my muse, Meryll...
For me, Binondo is definitely a true gem of Manila. Its rich culture still reflects to date, and I will always be in awe for that. Day in and day out, this town will certainly surprise you in any kind of way.
And... that's a wrap!
