My name is Gerome Soriano and I am the Greatest Kite Aerial Photographer of the Philippines.
I have been doing kite aerial photography since 2011 when I did it for my college thesis at the University of Santo Tomas College of Fine Arts and Design.
Now my challenge is to capture kite aerial photographs of the wonderful places and people from all around the Philippines :)
To invite more Filipinos to join me in practicing kite aerial photography.
And to rekindle the Filipino tradition of kite-flying :)
Now I am going to teach you the history of kite aerial photography to the present.
