I'm a proud owner of ASUS Zenfone 2 Laser and ASUS Zenfone 2 Laser 5.5! These are two of my weapons in taking product shots for my blog. I also use the latter to capture event highlights. ASUS Philippines launched early this year another remarkable phone in the name of ASUS ZenFone Zoom. They recently collaborated with Shaira Luna- country’s most sought-after lenswoman of this generation.
She is all set to showcase a whole new mobile photography experience – one that urges Pinoys from all walks of life to #SeeThePhilippinesUpClose, from all sorts of new and incredible perspectives, exclusively using the iconic ASUS ZenFone Zoom.
#SeeThePhilippinesUpClose from the Lens of the Best
The #SeeThePhilippinesUpClose campaign sets the tone for a one-of-a-kind mobile photography experience that features the country’s collection of vibrant sights, landscapes and people from exhilarating and never-before-seen angles. And for ASUS Philippines, there was no better way to curate this story, than through the images taken by renowned Filipina photographer, Shaira Luna, using the ZenFone Zoom.
“Without a doubt, Shaira is the most celebrated lenswoman in the country now, and is actually part of an ultra-exclusive group of professional photographers who were personally handpicked to be represented and managed by leading international agent Jed Root. Her talent, passion, professionalism, and unique eye for photography ultimately make her the perfect fit for the ASUS ZenFone Zoom,” shares ASUS Philippines Marketing Manager Jamie Zaldivar.
In her decade-long tenure in the industry, Luna’s cinematic, nostalgic and story-telling type of photography has caught the attention of numerous international publications across North America, the UK and even Europe. To name a few, Luna’s impressive body of work has notably graced The Interview Magazine, The Fashionisto, C-Heads, Cake Mag, and Valentina.
Luna’s extensive portfolio has also led her to become one of the country’s most sought after professional photographers. In the local scene, she has shot numerous editorial spreads with some of the most popular celebrities and personalities, and has worked with industry pillars and movers and shakers alike. Luna has also been tapped several times to lead the regional and local campaigns for various brands.
In this day and age of social media, Luna has also built an empire for herself. Present in almost all platforms, such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and Tumbr, Luna’s following reaches far and wide, and across all markets, undeniably making her this generation’s most influential photographer.
