About the Photographer

Alvin Dominic Valentin a.k.a Doms or Alvin is the eldest son of Dominador and Rosario Valentin. They are based in Makati ever since and Doms was born and raised in Poblacion.

As a kid, Doms is be part of the "nang-aasar" group. He always tease his classmates and friends. He is a very jolly and talkative person and he is considered as the joker of the class.

Amidst the bully facet, Doms is a very artistic kid. He loves drawing, sketching and painting. He would paint anything that he sees and give the paintings to his mom. There was a time that his drawings became part of an exhibit in Makati and some of his works were actually sold and bought by other people.

Doms college days were as fun as his childhood. He took up Electrical Technology as a scholar in Meralco foundation Institute. His college friends were always with him in times of school crammings, deadlines and the whole day times in the arcade.

Yes, Doms is addicted to different kinds of games! He spends almost all his allowance in Time Zone playing Tekken or Street Fighter or Mario Cart.

He worked his way in college by working part time as a crew for Pancake House and as his magician cousin's assistant. That's the reason why Doms has a lot of magic tricks up his sleeve.

Anyway, after graduation, Doms had a work stint in an electrical plant in Laguna but he then resigned and transferred to Sykes Asia. He made more friends and gained reputation as the "unique" or more of "weird" employee.

Towards the latter part of his career in Sykes, he got the urge to try photography and he worked wonders on that field!

He takes pictures beautifully! He joined the Eon SXIS army were he developed his talent more. He climbs mountains, crosses rivers and treks forests just to take the perfect shot. Just like any other photographer, he also developed his graphic design skills. This was his stepping stone when he took the risk and went to Singapore not only to be with me, ehem, Dindin, but also look for a job where his talents are useful.

He is currently working as an Art Director for Big Fish Publishing, a car magazine here in Singapore. He takes pictures of cars, car events and other stuff related to it. He still continues with his landscape photography and he loves trying different kinds of "hawker" food and seafood.
