Manila-based photojournalist Hannah Reyes Morales explores themes of "diaspora, survival, and the bonds that tie us together," according to her website, by capturing seemingly mundane moments of daily living. Her photographs have appeared in The Washington Post, The New York Times, Al Jazeera, The Southeast Asia Globe, Newsweek Japan, and The Atlantic. In 2019, she received a grant from National Geographic to work on a documentary photography project titled "Living Lullabies."

Shaira Luna first became a household name when Promil's "gifted child" TV ads rolled out in 1995. She was then a little girl who spewed out anatomy-related facts as if she was a walking encyclopedia—a far cry to the accomplished photographer is now. Specializing in fashion photography, she often plays around with vintage clothing and period themes. Her book Playing Long After Us, which is a visual short-story collection told through her signature nostalgia-tinted photographs, was published by Summit Books in 2018.

Out Magazine in 2018 described Regine David's photographs to be "at once both voyeuristic and vulnerable." The American LGBTQ+ publication was especially referring to her works that champion queer visibility. David grew up in the Philippines, but left to pursue studies in photography at The Savannah College of Art and Design, where she was given the opportunity to travel from Hong Kong to France to New York. She moved back to Manila in 2016.

When it comes to food photography, the name Gabby Cantero usually pops up. Her crisp, vibrant photos have graced the pages of The Philippine Star's Let’s Eat Philippines, SM's Bite Guide, and CNN Philippines' Life. It's not surprising that Cantero found herself in the food industry; apart from being a food lover, she also studied culinary arts for a year. She has shot for restaurants, fast-food chains, and other consumer brands. This Sony Digital Imaging Ambassador now runs Studio Cantero, a team of creatives for photography, video, and content strategy services.

Food photographer Majoy Siason creates drama in her photographs by taking snapshots of a chef's hand searing a piece of meat or even just a bowl of hot soup with steam still rising. Her works have appeared on SPOT.ph, Yummy.ph, and Grid; and she's worked with food brands like Elephant Grounds and Ippudo. She also does portraiture, lifestyle photography, and videos.

Street and documentary photographer Xyza Cruz Bacani uses her work "to raise awareness about under-reported stories," according to her website. Her works document issues on labor migration and human rights, most of which are included in her book We Are Like Air that was published in 2018. Showcasing her trademark black-and-white photographs, the bilingual book features the tales of her mother, herself, and fellow female migrant workers in Hong Kong.

Currently a Manila-based contributing photographer for Reuters, Eloisa Lopez covers news around the Philippines and Asia and specializes in stories on human rights, women, and religion.
