Joseph Ong: Confessions of a Fotoholic

photo taken by Lito Inso

Joseph Ong's knack for photography is evident in the multiple galleries he has on wedding and  fashion photography. Joseph Ong's venture towards  photography ended up to charm him and there was no stopping him. With no formal training, he took it upon himself to learn more about  photography and hone his craft.






In an interview he had with James Robinson on an advice given to him by another photographer he says: 
"There are no bad subjects but there are bad photographers." 
This is a line I have found to be very challenging and motivating.


Photography is Joseph Ong's form of self expression. 
His latest photos, "Dreamer of Dreams" give us a glimpse to the 
fascinating way he sees the world and his spot on intuition.

In every painting, you will notice an octagon shape rising at the top of the canvas which symbolizes hope.
