INFORMATION:

I'm Cruz, Christian Raymond Tesoro, a less spoken person approximately 5,850 pixel at 300 dpi tall, #000000 hair with 5400K complexion no color cast index CRI = 90-100 (1A) influenced by conceptual art, contemporary fine-art, minimalism and conceptualism. A full pledge daddy totally in love with my wife and daughter who I adore & love dearly. I started as a graphic designer in 1999 I now have a number of clients for the past 10 years. I'm currently employed as a creative consultant at Pacific Data Resources Asia, Inc in Makati, Philippines and have been a full time freelance designer since 2004 up to the present, working directly with individuals, local and overseas companies, design studio, art film directors and agencies on a project to project basis, I also do some commercial and stock photography for marketing, products, advertising and architectural projects. Currently I share my passion under Guided by Light, A professional landscape photography workshop and I also conduct 1on1 workshops. I wouldn't consider myself being a photographer because I have a camera, I just love to be out there with nature taking photographs because I love life and the creative process in general. I've never felt more peace and joy being in nature, I have learned to see and appreciate the beauty of our creators artistry & began living with a purpose. To learn, create and share. I look at the landscape with absolute awe and as a spirtitual journey, I acknowledge being humble seeing ordinary things and make them into a new understanding of what it is according to my vision. I photograph without a mind and ego apparently it help me to become more pure with what I do hence it taught me to respect and honor of all earth's inhabitants,

Many photographs have inspired me to explore the wonders of nature so I hope my own vision will inspire others to do the same.

My works have been published in different types of media, coffee table book, brochures, websites and magazines.

Photographs found in this website are available as custom fine-art prints for collectors, interior decorators and to individual buyers seeking something different and striking for display in homes & offices.
