JOJIE ALCANTARA is an artist, writer and photographer who dabbles between photography and the arts. Armed with her Canon DSLR cameras, dental floss, asthma inhaler, and a dash of reckless bravado, she discovers and documents exciting, unheard of places in her quest to promote the beautiful islands of her beloved Philippines.
Her passion for travel and photography has brought her to places abroad but her most rewarding trips were the unknown islands in her country where she encounters enchanting places, queer folks, strange rituals and suspicious, inedible-looking food.
She has a lifestyle and travel column in her city's local paper for 15 years now, and contributes to magazine publications as well. While she also has television stints as host and is active in organizing public events, most of her fulfilling moments are quietly capturing nature's beauty at its highest (vivid sunrises and sunsets). She accepts commissioned projects on a case to case basis. You can view her updated images on Facebook or on www.witerary.com.
In Betterphoto.com, she recently won Grand Prize on January 2010 (see photo on the left entitled, "Fish Be With You".)
