Christian is a man of many interests, but landscape photography has become his passion and calling after spending much of his life as a professional marketer for multinational conglomerates engaged in fast moving consumer goods.

A non-conformist, Christian spent much of the start of his professional photography career discovering the diverse landscapes of New Zealand. While most of his counterparts in his native Philippines spent much time travelling inland, he saw an opportunity at the onset to take his talents direct to the global stage. He led the first groups of landscape artists from his hometown to discover the majestic landscapes of Iceland, Norway, Scotland and his beloved New Zealand.

In Asia, Christian has been known to be one of the most popular landscape photographers to represent the region in the global arena, having been published predominantly in DCMag and Digital Photographer in the UK. He is one of the more well known Landscape practitioners in the online platform with most of his work showcased in 500px.

Now part of the Iceland Photo Tours Team, he brings his creativity, hard work, terrain and planning knowledge to help aspiring artists achieve their goals faster through a no-nonsense learning approach. Make no mistake about it, Christian is serious about his work yet he is a fun loving individual, great to have around in any tour. He is also a technical mentor, having conducted advance landscape photography workshops in the Philippines, the United Kingdom and in New Zealand.
