Philippines Rendez-Vous

Philippines Rendez-vous is a panoramic selection, a concentrate of images that immersed in the heart of Filipino culture.

Visual journey, this book is a contemplative stroll, it is organized in simple and evocative themes: Smiles, heights, Places, childhoods, Roads, Animals, Rain, Night, Sports, contrasts, colors. For readers discovering the country, it's a gateway, a first visit to familiarize yourself with this complex country made of strong contrasts, but the simplicity or even some idea of ​​happiness is palpable. For connoisseurs, no doubt you will find the familiar atmosphere, this unique ambiance. I hope to bring to you a poetic light on these fascinating people and amazing places. Put images where we can hardly put words.
