Artist Bio
Maria Inez Moro is a photographer, graphic designer, cinematographer & layout artist based in Manila, Philippines. She graduated in January 2012 with a bachelors degree in art, majoring in photography At DE La Salle- College of St. Benilde.
“Here are the results of a deep and fierce dedication, a love bigger than a love affair, a commitment is set for life. Inez Moro, over years of intense study and playful experimentation, has made beauty her business. In an age where technology makes photography both easy and too easy, Inez’s secret is soul. Youth and passion make a potent combination, and majoring as a Photography student in DLSU-CSB helped fuel the dream.
Inez shot with hunger, donning costumes. Her expanse of work: from ning pre-nups, and Inez
gamely climbing mountains and time in college produced an dreamy short films to stunproved herself capable across genres.
It was under Erickson Jao’s direction that Inez began to specialize in fashion photography. She discovered that her favorite subjects were people, and with her camera, she could hold up a mirror to them in which they would look nothing like themselves. There was an unparalleled satisfaction in owning a bit of her models’ beauty for that brief time between shoot and release. Inez also dabbles in digital artwork, tracing her own photographs in a manner that brings them even closer to her. People used to believe that when they were photographed, the camera’s black box would steal their souls. Inez’s secret to her photography is having more than enough soul to go around.”

thank you! Thank you to all the people that helped with the creation of my first book. This is dedicated primarily to my family, who has been supporting me and my art for as long as I can remember. The creation of this portfolio would not have been made possible without the help of the following people: Carla Villanueva, for being an amazing stylist, and my backbone in every photoshoot; Mark Familara, whose hairstyling skills never cease to amaze; Joey Alvero, who always takes care of my lighting (and often times, me); My favorite makeup artists- Chiara Daez, Andy Tonda, Ana Paredes; The usual suspects, the greatest people you will ever meet, my friends that have turned into family; Petra Magno, for always finding the words for me; To everyone that has ever allowed me to take their picture, thank you for giving me the privilege; My professors at De La Salle- College of St. Benilde-- Leo Santos, Harvey Chua, Jun Barrameda, John De Los Reyes, Erickson Jao, Eldridge Que, Emi Pascual, Jay Javier and many others.
This is for all of you.
Thank you again and again and again.
