Hello! I’m Rhon Velarde, an award-winning photographer passionate about capturing moments that tell compelling stories. Over the years, I’ve dedicated myself to honing my craft, driven by a love for creativity, detail, and meaningful imagery.

My work has been recognized both locally and internationally. I am proud to have been awarded the 1st Place Photographer of the Year in 2016 and again in 2024 by the Federation of Philippine Photographers Foundation. In addition to these, I’ve won numerous other contests across the Philippines and around the world, including multiple awards in international competitions such as the Huawei Photo Contest, where I earned three runner-up titles amidst fierce competition.​

As a versatile photographer, I am highly adaptable and comfortable working across various genres, including portrait, fashion, food, product, architecture, and event photography. My focus has been primarily on commercial, corporate, and advertising photography—helping brands and clients tell their stories visually and effectively.

My philosophy centers around the idea that every image should evoke emotion and connect with its audience. I believe in working tirelessly, being open-minded, and maintaining a friendly, professional approach to deliver the best results for my clients.

My dedication to the craft has also led me to be invited as a judge for esteemed camera clubs like the Camera Club of the Philippines and Zone V Camera Club. These opportunities enable me to give back to the photography community and support emerging talents.

I am friendly, hardworking, and focused—always striving to improve and to create imagery that inspires. Whether working on personal projects or client shoots, I pour my heart into every frame.

Let’s create something extraordinary together. Feel free to reach out—I’d love to bring your vision to life!
