Words from the clients
Ralph
I booked him months before my grad shoot and he still replied immediately when I first inquired. He really stuck to my Pinterest board and the exact pegs I sent, literally all the shots I wanted from my inspo pics, we got them.
He was also so dedicated during the shoot. We had limited time and had to go around campus, but he made sure I got every shot I wanted so I could really maximize what I availed. And when my family joined, he was very accommodating with pose directions and multiple takes, so we ended up with so many good photos together.
He even brought his own light setup for the darker spots around campus, which honestly made such a difference in the photos. Overall, such a smooth and hassle-free experience.

It was my first shoot exp and i rlly had no plan on hiring a photographer cos im suuuper awkward and not photogenic but i really enjoyed it!! my family also loved the photos :))
was silently amazed with the shots whenever you previewed it to me/us cos it was waaay better than what i imagined HAHAHA thank you for directing the poses as well! what i thought was awkward actually came out really cool when i saw the drive
maybe u can put that on your package list as part of the shoot experience - cos for introverts / the opposite gender, it can feel more welcoming! (but that's just me :))
idk if it was bc i havent searched much, but the free raw files, portfolio/sample pics, and price was what made the offer really appealing — the girls who tagged along with me are graduating separately in the ff terms and are also looking forward to having you as their photographer, if you're available around then! (just letting u know cos they were also pleased with everything even if they weren't your client HAHA)
thank you also for the extra edits aaaa wishing you the best! I never felt rushed. Overall, it was a very good experience!

Easy to work with. Open minded with our suggestions. Gave us directions/suggestions nung medj lost kami w posing (+ points kasi d ako marunong mag pose)
For the pics naman, they came out good!! When we ask if pwede palitan yung editing style, he was kind and open minded enough to change it instead of giving us excuses n such HAHSGAHHSHS
Yun lang, would recommend 👍🏼✨

I usually have no idea how to be photogenic and my friend recommended Piolo to me. I never expected this quality and he made sure i look great in camera. Really happy for this experience

Piolo made me feel COMFY the entire shoot. He gave me time to compose, retake shots, and even like tips n tricks in posing for the photos. I also love how he hypes me/us. He also listens to the vision we have 🥹 def love the tropa but professional vibe
++ love how he suggest experimental shots and gives honest feedback if it fits our vibe or not (like the staircase and classroom one)
I am more than joyed with having Piolo take my group’s graduation photoshoot. I never experienced anything like this before, so I was initially nervous. However, Piolo was able to relate and connect with us effectively through his instruction and guidance. We did not leave anything unexplored as Piolo encouraged us to experiment, leaving us to understand more about our own profiles. I would definitely request him to take our photos in the future.
As someone who's not used to posing and such, I really appreciated how Piolo was directing and suggesting poses for me to do throughout the photoshoot. He's also very empowering during the photoshoot, making sure that we feel comfortable in front of the camera. He also allows us to take our time and I never felt rushed. Overall, it was a very good experience!

Had a smooth and fun graduation shoot with Piolo! He has a great eye for capturing the moment and made the whole experience feel effortless. He guided us naturally, made sure we were comfortable, and turned the shoot into something truly memorable.

As a camera-shy girlie, I appreciate your assistance in directing better poses to make aesthetically pleasing photos. I definitely admire your effort to follow my pegs, while also recommending and incorporating your own creative touch into it (so grateful for that). 🫡
You were also very accommodating with my requests, such as whenever I wanted to retake some shots or take some shots without my toga. Additionally, you were able to utilize the limited time of an hour and took several pictures to choose from. Overall, the shoot felt so much lighter because you were nice and approachable. I can genuinely tell that you are passionate about your craft and you knew what you were doing.

Piolo was really easy to talk to and made the atmosphere comfortable for my group! He's very accommodating when it comes to our pegs and individual editing styles. Will deffo book again <33
Zsaira
It was a very fun and creative shoot! We were able to get the shots that we wanted 😄
Had a lot of fun trying out different kinds of shots (especially the fish lens vibe)! Really accommodating, responsive and patient as well!
Brian
Super easy to work with! He’s very accommodating when you have ideas for poses or concepts, but he’s also great at guiding you if you’re not sure what to do. Really makes the whole shoot comfortable and fun.
Beatriz
You're efficient and fast with the editing, i'll give you that hehe. I like what you've done with it!
As for pictures, its often told to us plus size girls to take pictures from a higher angle as it "hides" us more, but with you and your eye level or lower level angles, im surprised to find that the photos you took are still flattering on my body type. Usually when people take my photos it feels like they didnt even put in any effort to make me look good, just take a photo for the sake of getting it over with, but you put in the work to help me relax and guide me and ask if its alright or if we need to redo the photos, so thank you! thats really something I appreciate as a media graduate myself who takes the time to make sure the people i point the camera at are captured with their best features! highly recommend you!
Julia
Piolo was super easy to work with! As an awkward person, he helped me with the poses and what to do! He hyped me up as well kaya hes super comfortable to work with! Would definitely hire him again sa future!
Abigail
Sir Piolo was incredibly easy to work with and made our whole grad shoot comfortable and natural. He guided us with poses throughout the session, which really helped bring out the best in our group portraits. Despite his fully packed schedule, he generously accommodated us since we had no other available date. Overall he is truly professional, patient, and a pleasure to work with.
Alex
Hi Papa P! Ito honest feedback ko:
Would recommend you as a photographer sa other friends ko!
Bet ko na you direct us kung anong magandang pose at anong mga ideas pwedeng gawin to achieve THAT grad photo. At the same time, kahit nagddirect ka, open ka sa ideas namin as well as pag di namin trip masyado yung specific angle or shot, okay lang sayo mag adjust din.
Personally, di ako masyado magaling mag pose pose talaga lalo pag iba nag ppicture, pero I was comfy enough during the shoot to pose nang alam kong di ako majjudge. Crucial factor to kaya bat bet ko mga shots mo.
Overall, shooting with you was a great experience. Nagawan parin paraan kahit makulimlim kasi umulan. I feel like mas may igaganda pa kung di lang umulan that day.
P.S. Thank you din sa pag-intindi sa super daming request namin.
Thank you, Paps! Sa uulitin!

Piolo was prepared with the locations and poses, which allowed us to maximize the time we had. He also came up with other ideas, particularly since we had an unexpected rainy weather on the day of our shoot, so despite this, the photos still turned out great and met what I envisioned. Piolo also always ensured that I was satisfied with the photos, so every time we took some shots, he would check with me first to see if I was okay with the outputs or if I would like to do retakes before moving on to another place. He was also very easy to communicate with; I didn't feel restricted in letting him know my thoughts about the pictures. The overall experience was great! I would definitely recommend him to other people.
Chynna
I enjoyed the grad shoot!!! You're easy to get alongg with that's why the shoot went smoothly. It was also great na you direct and demonstrate the poses, such a lifesaver para sa hindi masyadong marunong mag-pose ✋. The shots we're also nicee, I loved how it feels like a debut photoshoot talaga 😂. My inspos were also followed andd you even suggested other locations and shots pa.
Mariele
Thank you so much Piolo for being so easy & so fun to work with!! It was my first time doing a shoot so i was pretty nervous but u were so helpful all throughout :)) I also had a very, very specific vision in mind for my grad shoot & i’m so glad u were flexible enough to not just adjust to my ideas, but also add in ur own creative flare to what I initially had in mind.
Patrick
I'd say the shoot was really memorable, even though the experience was chaotic due to the heat and limited time allocated for the shoot. But overall, it was an 11/10 experience. As for the quality of the final edited photos, most of them are too saturated, but that can be fixed. Overall, I had a great photoshoot experience with Piolo; all the money spent was worth it. Kudos to you, brother!
Claire
The perfect cherry on top experience to end my college journey. Piolo really let's you enjoy your own creativity and feel the Lasallian vibe one last time as you try to capture every moment and memory.
Very enjoyable and a memorable way to let out both our creative juices! I like how there's a lot of venue ideas and suggestions that help me with poses. Easy to talk to and vibe with as well!
Rozele
Had him as the photographer for our group and my solo campus photoshoot and the experience was both professional and fun! He directed us on what spots would be great to take pictures on and what poses to do, and as someone that's really awkward with posing in front of a camera he made the photos look so good and natural. He was very accommodating to all types of suggestions.
Honestly liked the color grading on both the RAW and edited pictures so much!
Overall, the pictures show his expertise and dedication into make the graduation photoshoot something worth remembering.
Trevor's Group
The results and services he gave us definitely shows that his work is truly of the highest quality.
“Well recommended, ganda ganda, solid pareehh, from editing to collating hehe”
“Super patient and galing mag direk. You won’t be disappointed with Piolo when it comes to grad shoots”
Lyra
I was comfy the whole shoot! I was actually worried at first since I originally wanted a female photographer, but Piolo made everything feel super natural and chill! As someone who doesn’t really know how to pose, I really appreciated how he guided me through everything. He was also really accommodating with all my requests. Would definitely recommend!
Audree
Piolo is a really (I mean REALLY) professional photographer! It was really hot during our shoot and not once did he ever complain or asked for a quick break. I was able to achieve my pegs because of him and I am really satisfied with how everything turned out. He accommodated my requests and he was also understanding when I told him that there was no time yet. He didn’t pressure me to book ASAP or even book. His rates are also very reasonable :)
Cheska
Hiii thank you sa pictorial and edits!! feedback ko is naenjoy ko naman yung mismong pictorial kahit pagod na that day, and gets din yung hassle ng oras, pero you as a photographer naman i feel really comfortable with din when it comes to the shoot! so thank youu, and vv open ka with our suggestions, pati sa edits!
Jessica
Kuya Piolo is as talented with his camera as he is kind. As someone who's not really used with taking photos, his instructions were very appreciated and he really made the whole experience memorable. I knew I wanted to take photos for memories, and every single shot was aesthetic and nostalgic.
He even entertained my request to take some shots in the lab (as a COS girlie), and within more or less 10 minutes, we were able to take a lot of my favorite photos.
