Travelling doesn't have to be always taking a photograph of a beautiful landscape scene but knowing and connecting with other people are also important. I am sharing some of my portrait photography here in my blog so that I can show some faces which you can find beauty in their own ways. This is more than just judging their looks but also seeing and knowing the reality of their lives, their culture, and their lifestyle.

One of the reasons why I like to travel is that , I can be less judgmental to people especially to someone you really don't know or you haven't meet in real life. It is an adventurous thing to do when you took a photograph with strangers. But somehow, you are creating memories with them too. When you travel get the chance to talk with interesting people and try to approach first before giving a shot.

| Her name is Marilou, I met her when I visited Pamulaklakin Forest Trail Photographed by Anne Ruiz |
When I went to Subic I met this woman who is living at Pamulaklakin Forest Trail in Subic Bay, Olongapo. She is an aeta but warm and friendly. I asked her if I can take a photograph of her after our short conversation. And without a doubt, she gives me the pose that's saying "peace". Sometimes when you travel, you will never know that you are making a difference to the lives of others. So don't just be indulged with the beauty of nature but also get in touch with people.
