Migo Turns 1

Taking photos of Migo's first birthday was an offer I simply couldn't refuse. Apart from being good friends with his Aunt Betsi, I'm also taking a class under his Grandpa. Now I definitely couldn't turn this job down. Haha.

Migo and his family LOVE Dr. Seuss; so it was only logical that they celebrated Migo's first year with a Cat in the Hat themed party. From the centerpiece to the goodie bags to Migo's shirt, everything was made by hand just for his special day. I'm sure 10 years from now, Migo would look at these photos and say he had awesome parents!

It's quite simple if you care to see,

Migo is throwing is first birthday party!

Snapshots from Seattle, WA

Welcome to Seattle, the city of rain. What we loved most about this precipitatious place was all the fresh foods it had to offer. Pike's Place public market was not only the home of the original Starbucks Coffee but also served some of the most delicious clam chowder, fresh-made cheese and street-style fried chicken. Then some exotic chocolates at Theo and dinner at Shiro's (the freshest sushi I've ever had!!) sealed the deal for me. Seattle was any Foodie's Fantasy. Watch out for the next leg of our US trip: Ketchikan, Alaska.

Cheers, Matt

Backstage Beauty

Here's a tribute to the people who have served as my family for the past three months. Someone once said theatre is one of the most humble professions in the world. You pour your life, your love into your work not for fame or recognition but to tell a story that needs to be told. Summer Camp, thank you for giving, thank you for loving. This shoot entitled "Backstage Beauty" gives another dimension to how we look at theatre actors. To see how they move around backstage is a wonder. These are behind the scenes photos like nothing else.

Sit back. Relax. And enjoy the show!

Summer Camp The Musical

*kroo kroo*

Hey everyone! If you're still following the site after my 1 month exile then congratulations! You've just discovered that I'm still alive and haven't abandoned this page at all. Not physically anyway! Haha. And the reason for my hiatus is that I've sold my soul...to theatre. That's right, last July I auditioned for a role in our school production... blueREP's Summer Camp The Musical and I'm happy to say that I'm taking a lead role in this production! Summer Camp is a story about doing what you love against all odds and learning to be comfortable in your own skin.

What started out as a Senior Year Bucket List item became an irreplaceable experience. This is an one-of-a-kind screenplay written by the exceptional Lara Antonio and Aldrich Alcantara and directed by the one and only Macky Santiago. You won't find this anywhere else in the country and the cast is absolutely amazing!!

As my friend told me, it was my turn to step into the spotlight. Haha!

For ticket reservations, hit me up @MattLeeShoots or contact (0926) 716 4395 directly.

Tweet about the show afterwards with #SummerCampTheMusical! I wanna hear what you have to say about it! :)

P.S. We're 2 views shy of hitting 6,000. Thank you everyone for making that possible! I wouldn't be doing this if it weren't for all of you! :o)

Cheers, Matt

You've met her before. Adi Amor is shown here in our first ever, never-been-released-until-now collaboration. Shot inside Ateneo de Manila! Like what she's wearing? You can see these looks here.

Happy stress-free long weekend (again)!

Psycho Thriller Set

One of the most exciting things probably about making a production is the production design. Creating a different world from your imagination. I was given the opportunity to design and shoot sets for a psycho-thriller assignment. What's exciting about this assignment is that we got to shoot the scenes cinemagraph style. Here's what the team came up with for the assignment. 

Enjoy! -Matt
