Name:  Jay Tablantte
Specialty:  ADVERTISING, COSPLAY, FASHION, LIFESTYLE AND PORTRAITS
Country:  Philippines

Brief Bio:

Jay never imagined himself as a photographer. In fact, his first dream was to become a software engineer for a large IT company despite the lop-sided grades in Calculus. But it was in college when he was introduced to his first camera (and a film camera too). After an indirect nudging from his cousin, finally let the shutterbug bite. He spend a good part of his life living in the darkroom like a vampire. Ever since, he hasn’t looked back and turned his little passion into a full-time profession. And so for the past eight years Jay hasn’t stopped shooting. His work has brought him into far-flung places, from the local productions of Survivor to shooting for established advertising brands, television networks and various international clients. Occasionally he gets to work with local Filipino celebrities and lingerie models for FHM.

Phottix Gear Use:

Phottix PPL-400 Studio Light
Atlas II triggers.

Jay says: Phottix opens up a lot of shooting possibilities for me with their gear and accessories.
