Speak about millennials and a number of diverse descriptions easily come to mind. Also known as the “Generation Y,” they are noted as self-assured, positive, emotionally charged, techy and artistic. Millennials constantly clamor for connections. And all, it has been acknowledged that self-expression and creativity are inherent attributes of the said generation.
So, imagine if a millennial hops right into a hobby and career like Photography, design, painting, lettering and other art-related thingies.
Think about this. Anyone can be a photographer, but not all can pull it off. Not too many who own a camera can capture beyond an image. Sounds like too disheartening? That’s a no-no for these young and exceptional photographers from the Philippines.

Hannah’s photos are unquestionably aesthetically pleasing, hip and real. She’s so in it! Indeed, she is someone to watch out for.

Andrew Apuya
A good photographer has to be someone who’s more than artistic. Every image should be an evidence of his passion and expertise in his chosen field. That’s true for Andrew. His portfolio shows that compositions are clearly well thought out. Know more of this dude through andrewapuya.com.
Aya Cabauatan
Aya is one in a million. And it’s not even an exaggeration. Go, take a look at her Instagram account and you’ll be floored with this teenager’s feed. She’s someone who sees photography as more than having the best camera (and all the high tech equipment that should go with it). It’s as if her eyes are always open to the perfect angles and lighting. What a brilliant chick!
