Hello!

My name is John Phillip Santos, I am the guy behind J-Phil | Photography. For now I count myself as a hobbyist for I don’t really earn that much from shooting because most of the models are my friends or relatives that I invited. If you are curious where do I get my budget for this hobby of mine, I get it from the salary from my real job but still I hope that someday I will be able earn enough from this hobby and leave my job so I can focus more to what I really love doing.

I am fascinated in taking portraits and I litke how it can be combined with other genres of photography like advertising and landscape. Another inspiration why I love taking photos of people is the capability of it to uplift and boost other people’s self-esteem by showing them how beautiful and good looking there are in the photos. On most shoot that is my goal though I am not quite sure if I am being able to achieve it.

My dream of shooting for a magazine cover gave birth to the idea of making this magazine. I am just amazed how the title texts gives a photo a different feel and how pleasing to see your photos in a whole spread view. PDF files also gives a better view for the devices around us. The people can enjoy more on showing it to others and it will also make them feel they are really are model because they are in the cover of a magazine.

I hope you guys enjoy viewing the magazine, I am sure there will be more that will come.

“People see me as someone who’s shy and quiet but when you get to know me, I am the other way around. I like telling stories, giving opinions and I like having conversations about the idea of love and life itself. I love going out and exploring new things. I am crazy but in a good way. I just like to talk about anything that makes sense.”

The feeling afTer Seeing my phoToS“after seeing the photographs, of course, i felt happy about it and fulfilled because i get to take one thing out of my bucket list. i’ve always wanted to see myself in photographs. i mean to feel like i’m a real model.”

So you really wanTed To be a real model, who do you look up To?“i look up to people who see good in the bad. and those who are kind-hearted. when it comes to celebrities and models. my favorite would be for (local) it’s andi manzano and for (hollywood) it’s going to be emma roberts. They’re just really beautiful! and their job is my dream job. haha.. for models, i like Candy magazine’s linn oeymo. Sophie Sumner and Cara delevigne. They pose naturally in photographs. They look very fun-loving!”

“i feel beauTiful when i See The grey CloudS Turn inTo whiTe.”in other words...

“when i get to surpass life adversities and becoming matured and a happy individual right after it. That’s when i feel beautiful.”


“i just wanted to be seen as me and nothing more...i’d let people judge how i look in a photoshoot. i don’t want to assume anything.”

“i’d like to give credit to Jp Santos for making me strut like a model and to the people who liked my photos in facebook”
