My name is Wally Tongol. A Filipino-Japanese living in Japan. A simple man who loves making photographs and spending time with my wife and son. I am fortunate to spend a good amount of time on personal projects, traveling and am a sucker for assignments where I travel (day job) and shoot if given a chance.

 

Photography is my calling and the thing that will undoubtedly drive me insane someday. I don’t photograph subjects. I photograph the way they make me feel. Admittedly, it’s a bit of a strange concept. But it’s honest–and it’s the best way to describe my approach to the craft. I wrestle with every image I shoot. I assume perfection is possible and I want to wring it out of every picture.
