POSTS STORIES REELS

Just received my copy. 🧡

My second feature in Vogue Philippines @voguephilippines, sharing Dumaguete and the story behind my long-running photography series, ‘Catch A Moment’, in the September/October 2026 Anniversary Issue.

What began in 2003 with a simple digital camera for documenting events gradually grew into something much more personal. Along the way came unexpected opportunities, a camera sponsorship from an international news organization, and a few recognitions I’m deeply thankful for. But through it all, the heart of ‘Catch A Moment’ has remained the same: finding magic and meaning in the mundane, right here in the city I call home and beyond.

Thank you, Aylli Cortez @1159cowboy, for writing this story, and to Anz Hizon @anzhizon, Bea Valdes @_beavaldes_ , Pam Quiñones @pamquinones, Joyce Oreña @joyce.orena, Mavi Sulangi @mavisulangi and the entire Vogue Philippines team for continuing to believe in my work.

Always grateful. ✨ by @hersleyvencasero

Yesterday was an exciting milestone in my photography journey. I got to hang out at @shutterspacestudios again with @jasonquibilan @jeebbaldonado @e.s.l.chen, Abby & Pochi and @koki.lxx which is always fun and very inspiring.

So grateful to @theretiredartist_ and @vslnyc for this overall incredible experience at the @artfairph . Huge thanks to the art patrons for also believing in our work and braving to collect, we really didn’t expect this much positive feedback but it really has been a memorable and motivating experience.

Cheers to continuing to create, collaborate and grow through the arts! ☕️🍃✨

2 kids, kilos of onions, and international acclaim: sometimes all it takes is for one to lie back and the other to climb for everyday life to find its poetry. Between the red mesh sacks and the green truck, childhood invents its own laws of gravity.

How does such a weightless moment leave such a lasting impression?

As part of RomePhotoLab 2026, we are proud to present The Sharpest Edge — Stories from the Street, a special exhibition celebrating the extraordinary vision of the photographers who will join the Festival as Jury Members, Masterclass Instructors, and Workshop Speakers.

Rather than asking them to follow a specific theme or visual language, we chose to give each artist complete creative freedom. The result is an exhibition that reflects the many faces of contemporary street photography — different cultures, different approaches, one shared passion for observing life as it unfolds.

Each photographer is represented by two carefully selected images, creating a journey through unique perspectives, decisive moments, and powerful visual storytelling.

📍 Villa Altieri, Rome
🗓️ October 2–4, 2026

Exhibiting artists:
* Matt Stuart
* Siegfried Hansen
* Mark Fearneley
* Nina Kling
* Hersley Ven Casero
* Jonathan Jasberg
* Ximena Echague
* Ana Chicovitz
* Vanessa Pallotta
* Pia Parolin
* Francesca Chiacchio
* Gwen Julia
* Alonso Diaz de Anda
* Citlali Medal
* Catherine Auzuret
* Serkan Tekin

These photographers are also part of the international network behind RomePhotoLab 2026, alongside some of the world’s leading street photography communities, including Street Avengers, Street Badass, Street Macadam, Street Photography Brazil and Postal 5.6.

Join us in Rome for a weekend dedicated to photography, inspiration, and the stories that only the street can tell.

A reflection on this year’s Dal-uy. ✨
This year felt different.

Foundation University’s Festival of Hope has always been a magical and meaningful experience for me. But this year, with the largest gathering of participants I’ve witnessed, seeing thousands of wishes, aspirations, dreams, and prayers glowing across the water felt especially moving.

I took a lot of photographs, of course. But there were moments when I found myself wanting to simply pause, put the camera down, and immerse myself in the moment. To be surrounded by all these dreams floating around me, to feel the atmosphere, and to savor what was happening without thinking too much about framing or capturing it.

Some moments are meant to be photographed. Others are meant to be felt. And this year, Dal uy gave me plenty of both. ✨🌌✨

Maybe sometimes, catching a moment simply means being present enough to let it catch you.

P.S. A little detail behind the magic: after the festival, the lanterns and their wooden platforms are collected and recycled for the following year. ♻️✨

Found these unseen frames while going through my archives recently.

Norwich, August, some years ago.

We took the train on a fine summer day.
I photographed what was there. Passing landscapes, strangers, light, shadows, small moments in between. Four years later, these fragments still bring the day back. Some journeys stay with you. by @hersleyvencasero
