About Me

check out my new website @ www.xanderangeles.comemail me at [email protected] ............................................................ ............................................................ ................."A photograph communicates what you feel, what you think. It conveys emotions, sells things, transports you to another place, show you a person’s most intimate secret. It can open your eyes to reality and, most of all, bring your fantasies to life.” - Xander Angeles

............................................................ ............................................................ ..New York based photographer Xander Angeles is one of the most sought-after creative talents for fashion and advertising despite his young age, he is fresh, spontaneous, and original. Many of the most striking images that continue to haunt are only a fraction of the countless photographs born of a fertile imagination and an undying thirst for the new. Take any subject – from the mundane to magnificent, spontaneous to structured, raw to glamorous, whether it’s architecture, fashion or beauty – he will make it new and interesting and exciting.Born in Manila, and a graduate of Fine Arts from the University of Sto. Tomas, Angeles started taking pictures professionally right after college, he had already done numerous projects in the advertising and corporate fields. But it was not until a year later, with the acquisition of his first medium format camera (which he continues to use to this day), his infallible work ethics and sheer talent, along with a collaboration of trusted and talented people, that the door to success opened for him.Then again, what separates Angeles from other photographers is that with him, there is always collaboration. His vision is so certain that he can entertain suggestions from other people without compromising his own ideas. This sense of self has helped him remain successful and outstanding in an industry that has a high turnover rate.

My Interests

Passion for craft and determination set off yet another development that will establish his niche in the advertising world. Lifting the name from photography’s open secret about the edge of light being the finest kind of light, Xander Angeles founded Edge of Light Studio in 1999 with the vision that it be one of the finest studios in the country. True to his founding ethos, Edge of Light has gained recognition as a multi-media company focusing mainly on photography and music videos. It also offers art direction and conceptualization for pictorials, advertising campaigns, and videos.In 2003 Angeles tried his hand at directing music videos. His first video, SLAPSHOCKS WAKE UP and NUMB, won him the BEST DIRECTOR AWARD at MTV Pilipinas AWARDS that same year. He then directed other music videos such as TRUE FAITH’s DEADMA, RACHEL ALEJANDRO’s KEEPER OF MY HEART, NINO ALEJANDRO’s ALA-ALA and I STILL LOVE YOU. And his recent works includes JAIME RIVERA’s WILL OF THE WIND AND ERICK SANTOS’ ALA-ALA.Due to his success at directing music videos, Angeles decided to pursue further filmmaking studies at the New York Film Academy in September 2004. This paved the way for television commercial works that include Goldilocks, Red Bull Light, Promil and Motorolla Motobus.However, being behind the lens was not his sole calling, Angeles is also one of the endorsers of NIKON’s top of line professional digital camera, the D2Xs. Morever, in the first quarter of 2007, Xander Angeles was one of the panel of Judges in the new TV show PHILIPPINE’S NEXT TOP MODEL...................................................... XWEB!
