About me

Gender Male
Location New York, NY, United States
Introduction Born in the Philippines, Julian enrolled at The City College of New York where he studied architecture and took his first photographs with a Chinese plastic camera. After practicing as an Architect for more than a decade in New York, Los Angeles, the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia, he pursued a childhood dream and became a professional helicopter pilot. Julian is a photographer of manmade environments He photographs spaces we inhabit, tools we use, man & machine working together and how both shape the landscape. Man's work is usually evident in his photographs. It is a common theme reflected in projects that include documenting life aboard heavy-lift cargo ships and low altitude helicopter road trips across America through the eyes of ferry pilots and a series of black & white aerials of New York City to explore the upper branches of a rarely seen forest of steel and concrete high above the ground. Currently he divides his time between New York City where he teaches flying and shoots aerial assignments, and Alaska.
