Carlo "Caloi" Estanislao
Contributing Photographer

Photography has always been my passion. As a child, I would always play with my father’s camera and take photos of my toys which prompted my father to buy me my own instamatic cam, in fears of damaging his SLR. I didn’t take photography as my course in college, but even before I attended a seminar in photography, I already have clients for pictorials. It’s only been months since I first owned a DSLR and I’m excited to celebrate my first year soon.

From then on, his path to fashion photography & portraiture was inevitable.
