We tried to photograph the smells, the touch, and the aftertaste of things.

The rigid stance, impassive stares, languid poses. How can something so peaceful be disturbing?

The exquisite gestures, both large and small, tell us more about the subject than they would want revealed.

Post processed like waxing nostalgics. Our personal photo collection sails along, like things lost amidst the drawers, albums and bookcases.

More images to follow, along with our unfinished {preview} entries. April has caught us off-guard. We’ve got our hands so full and trying to keep up in vain. Perhaps down a couple bottles of beer and we’ll set the ball in motion again. We ask for your patience.

Allan & Ria

Allan Roque + Ria Mendoza
Location // Subic Bay Metropolitan Area

In our own world, beauty is found in that which most people pass unnoticed everyday. People ask us how a particular style of shoot happens. There are no dramatic answers, no exciting, serendipitous events. Just a quick eye for a quirky kind of beauty. We have always experimented with materials, preferring to use the trial and error method of creation. We are addicted to the thrill of an unknown outcome. Hmmm, you can say that we like to dig the trenches of the greater river of consciousness rather than simply lie back and float on the current. What does this mean? Screw it! The only thing we do is make images, the rest is up to your imagination.
