Hi, my name
is Pearl
Your Light-Worker
and Hype-Woman
I'm an artist with a deep love for photography, creative direction, and graphic design. I find joy in capturing editorial, fashion, beauty, and the precious moments of life through the lens of my camera. As a proud Filipino immigrant, my core principles revolve around embracing diversity, fostering inclusivity, and challenging conventional norms.
My journey in photography started during my high school years when I first picked up a Canon point-and-shoot camera in my first photography class. Since that pivotal moment, I've had the privilege of working with a diverse array of models and have explored various photography genres, ranging from headshots and events to fashion and beauty campaigns. I've been able to turn aspiring models into agency-signed models including BMG Models, Liz J Models, and more. In addition, my work is featured in Milwaukee Magazine, FOX 6 News, the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, and more.
