Interview with Photographer and Photo Manipulator Michael Vincent Manalo

There are lots of mind-blowing photo manipulation artworks from amazing photo manipulators out there. What makes your photo manipulation artworks different from them? Why?

I consider minimal as power, I like to use the space and use the space that surrounds a character or of an individual as something that will make the person feel. I like to express nostalgia and melancholy, I consider these powerful elements that can put people into a halt.

What is your most favorite artwork that you've made and why?

I’ve always loved the artwork called The Story Teller, it reminds me of childhood memories, of calmness, of cloudy days, of stormy nights and stormy afternoons. It reminds me of days of daydreaming which was so strong that when I close my eyes I could feel that the space around me is very wide.

Do you have any regrets that you follow the path of a photographer and a photo manipulator? Why or why not?

Aha! No, never! I think this was the path I wanted ever since. To observe, and to express the observations and to live my life as freely as I want and I think I’ve found happiness in this.
