This underwater shoot started as a simple passion project, but it unexpectedly became the beginning of something I've been putting off for years.
There was a time when I almost gave up on photography, thinking maybe that dream wasn't meant for me. Creating and editing this shoot reminded me why I fell in love with it in the first place. I'm still figuring things out, still learning, and still starting over—but for the first time in a long while, I'm finally moving again.
Thank you to everyone who's been supporting this journey. 🤍
A huge thank you to the amazing creatives who made this shoot possible:
Hanfu by Mystical Wardrobes
Mavs, Kyle, and Danica — thank you for helping me build the wardrobe, set, and lighting.
Ms. Beth Reyes and Aemie Marceline — thank you for the beautiful hair and makeup you created for our muses.
Aaliyah Reyes and baluncio — thank you for bringing this concept to life as our muses.
Kyle Adriann Santos — thank you for patiently teaching me the entire editing process step by step and for providing the elements I needed to create these photos.
Most importantly, thank You, Lord, for giving me another chance to create, to learn, and to shoot again.
