“I want to see the world through my lens... I wanna inspire ...I wanna make a difference.” Ayan Deato’s line converges to who he really is.

Dante Baron (aka Ayan) Deato’s passion for photography started after being exposed to the Fashion Industry by accepting modeling jobs when he was younger. His interest in the craft was enkindled when he worked for an Events Company. But the hunger for photography blew him to expand his horizon and left the said company in September 2008. He then took a crash course in PHOTOGRAPHY in Makati City.

According to him, the factors that affect unflawed outputs are good staff, proper planning and coordination, plus an ample knowledge in photo editing tools.
