Botanika

Botanika

As the city tightens up, space is indeed becoming a new luxury. New living spaces have been sprawling up outwards of Metro Manila just to have a glimpse of greenery in the mornings. We had this amazing opportunity to work on this project to show how space can change the way to experience our lives. We don't need to cram ourselves within Metro Manila if we can.

Nobu Restaurant Manila

Nobu Restaurant Manila

Nobu is the world’s most recognized Japanese restaurant, known for its innovative and modern cuisine, paired with a hip crowd and celebrity following. Paulo: The interiors of Nobu combine distinct Japanese motifs executed in both a traditional and modern way and demonstrates a cohesive East-West yin and yang. This had to be photographed late into the evening through the wee hours of the morning since the lighting emphasized more drama and opulence to the interiors.

Crystal Dragon

Crystal Dragon

Crystal Dragon features authentic regional Chinese dishes as well as premium Cantonese fare. Paulo: Shooting in this very photogenic venue reminded me of what an opulent restaurant in Shanghai or Hong Kong would look like during the 1930s or 1940s. Very visually unique and highly stylized. Very Wong Kar-wai. [supsystic-gallery id='13'] Production Credits Client: Melco Crown Philippines Agency: BBDO Guerrero Photography: Paulo Navarra

Pangaea, Manila

Pangaea, Manila

Paulo: Manila's club scene will never be the same again, with the opening of the ultra lounge experience, Pangaea. It was surely a blast (and also a challenge) shooting its very unique interiors with lush textures and details as well as working with club owner, THE Michael Ault. Although not much light was needed for the interior, the mood had to be maintained and translated faithfully in the photos so long exposures were the order of the day (as well as the most sturdy and stable tripod!)      [supsystic-gallery id='36'] Production Credits Client: City of Dreams - Pangaea Manila…
