Caryl Borreta (b. Manila, 1991)

Photographer and graphic designer

I began my photography practice when I started my undergraduate degree in Fine Arts in Far Eastern University (PH). While doing my degree, I worked as a Photographer for my university’s school newspaper. My final-year photography thesis centred around the history of my mum’s hometown in Manila. In 2018, I finished a short Photography course in Ramon Magsaysay High School Evening Vocational School (PH). A year after, I worked in United Arab Emirates as a Photographer & Videographer for the Dubai Royal Family, mostly concentrating on pet portraits. Presently, I am finishing my Master of Arts degree in Photography in the University of Portsmouth (UK) and exhibited my MA work alongside five other students in the Jack House Gallery in Portsmouth.

My current photographic work focuses on zoo enclosures in England, and I am planning to expand it across Britain and possibly in continental Europe in the future.
