Jasper Tejano is a calm and collected street photographer who has built a name for himself in street photography and whose works have been recognized and featured by various local and international publications both online and in print. Through his street photography, he has collaborated with international private groups and non-profit organizations from Brazil, France, Greece, Ireland and New York, USA on distributing his works. His street photographs have been showcased in the global exhibit scene from Manila to Miami, Paris, Milan and other countries.
His street photography started as a result of reaching a plateau in his creative growth. After exploring various genres in photography, he discovered the works of Magnum photographers Henri Cartier-Bresson, Alex Webb, David Alan Harvey and Harry Gruyaert. Their style of documenting the world blew him away. These photographers became his most important influence. In 2012, in part thanks to their inspiration, he started seeing the world through a different lens. Since then, street photography has become his genre of choice.
When he is not out there practicing street photography, he is wearing his corporate HR hat or doting on his son giving the little tyke basics on photography or simply enjoying his cup of coffee with his wife and creative partner, with his camera in tow just in case. He is a university graduate with a degree in Psychology.
About The Collection
- This image was made during the rainy season in my country. The indoor skating rink has always provided a good place to make photographic studies. In one of my visits, I saw a young boy practicing his stunts and was observing him from a frosted plexiglass. This was one of his jump stunts where he landed successfully. Pasay, Philippines 2015
- This image was made as a result of challenging myself to look at the usual subjects from an unusual vantage. Here, I was always tempted to photograph the children enjoying this motorized group swing from the front facing them. By dropping that convention, I went around and I had a good look at their feet from behind the swing and by instinct felt that it was that moment, from that vantage that the image made more sense to me.

- In this image, when I was standing across the street, I noticed that a woman in her overcoat was in deep contemplation.
