I’m Iya Forbes and I take pictures.
18 years of age but with a 10-year old mind
wanting to explore the world. I live happily
in sunny and rainy Metro Manila, Philippines.
I also bike, read, and fangirl a lot.

All photos are by me, unless noted in the post.

Alba.
He’s the fourth person I included for this series. I think I easily find people with glasses interesting. Haha!
Anyway, Alba (his surname) is a very popular guy in my batch. He really stands out from the crowd mainly because of his fashion sense. I was actually intimidated at first, being my dorky self and all, but turns out he’s a really nice and surprisingly quiet guy. He’ll always say hi to you though when you bump into him and even pull out a chair for you in case you’re late for the meeting (yeah, I run late sometimes). 
He’s not just a humble guy with neat clothes, he’s also a good photographer and fashion blogger. Check him out here: Chronic Cut
I don’t think this photo shows how awesome he is. I’ve always wanted to ask him for shoots but we aren’t close and I’m an awkward shy person. Ha!

I had a really quick shoot for Esme this morning. She needs it for something pretty important so I agreed to shoot her even if it’s for fashion. God knows how awful I am with fashion-themed shoots.
Anyway I don’t know if I’m allowed to post full-body shots yet but here’s a simple portrait of Esme. This is also going to be categorized under my Interesting People series since Esme is really someone I think of as a unique character, even back in high school with her wayfarer glasses and interest in art, fashion and marketing. Oh and she’s one hell of a smart girl too. You go, Esme! :>

[did you guys notice that the people I feature so far in my Interesting People series all have glasses? =)) haha whatever. Full-view pls!]

Dale.
He just started taking photos and already has a lot of noteworthy shots. I like his travel shots the most. Take me to NY, dude!
Oh and he has prettier eyes than me.
Full-view to see ‘em (my photos are much better in hi-res anyway haha).


I’m starting a series that will probably go on for the rest of my life.



Interesting People is a series consisting of portraits of some..well, interesting people I’ve met. Pretty personal stuff. First photo from it is of Albert and this is the second.



Through this, I’m hoping to improve my portrait skills. Simplicity is the key!

Albert.
One of the most hippity people I know. I’d like to have a hip/urban shoot that’s very akin to his character but unfortunately, he doesn’t like getting his photos taken (sus) :))
edit: He met Katy Perry too. So jellyyy.
full view please! :)
