“Welcome to my world.”
This would always be what I’d say to those
who would take a look at my work.
Mixing photography and art opens
my world to limitless possibilities.
I let my imagination run loose.
I wish to open your eyes to my world
and see what I see. It’s a magical,
spectacular place. It’s a world reflecting
unusual tones and colors, of shadows
and light. It’s a union between fantasy
and realism. And it’s where
a person’s essence is brought out,
the best way I see it --- in their eyes.
In my world, not everything is elegantly spotless;
not every subject is perfect. But even with
their imperfections, it’s still seen as beautiful.
Im not just a photographer, Im a storyteller

Tots Tolentino is credited for countless musical endeavors, both
commercial and cultural. He is recognized as the premiere saxophonist,
not only in the local entertainment scene, but also across Asia
and continues to work
with a group of musicians in Japan.
At a tender age of sixteen, his goals were set and was trained under
Prof. Eric Barcelo of the UP Conservatory of Music. He proceeded
to hone his talent at Berklee in Boston, where he graduated with
top honors as Magna cumLaude with a Professional Diploma in
Professional Music.
His solo album releases are testaments to his formidable talent.
In1991, Awit Awards bestowed upon him the award for Best Jazz
Recording for "Inah", while he also received a Gold Record award
for his solo album, "Tots Tolentino", released in 1990. Colleagues
and critics alike have described his work as "passionate and energetic".
When not doing music, Tots is also a photography hobbyist and brings
the same passion and energy to a different medium of creativity.
