Street-smart, loyal, and full of personality. Meet the everyday
heroes of Metro Manila —
one portrait at a time.

Every ASPIN

has a story.

Not every good dog has a fancy breed.

While wandering around Manila and Quezon City, I kept meeting Aspins that deserved a moment in the spotlight. Some were busy guarding a shop, some were taking the world's most important nap, and others looked straight into my camera as if they owned the place.

This little collection is my way of saying that every Aspin

has a face, a personality, and a story worth noticing.


Meet the Aspins

A growing collection of street portraits featuring the many faces (and ears) of the Philippine native dog. Some are playful, some are serious, and some clearly know they're photogenic.
