Silent Street Photography in Bonifacio Global City (BGC), Metro-Manila, Philippines (Sony A1/ 85mm)

Take a peaceful stroll with me through Bonifacio Global City (BGC) in Metro-Manila, Philippines, where the city’s modern beauty and vibrant energy come to life in this silent street photography vlog. Using my Sony A1 and 85mm lens, I capture the essence of this dynamic urban area, with its towering skyscrapers, artistic installations, and bustling streets—all at the quietest time of day, when the city is just beginning to wake up.

🎥 Sony A1
The Sony A1 is a powerhouse for street photography, especially in the early morning hours when lighting can be tricky. Its high resolution and incredible dynamic range allow me to capture both the sharp details of architecture and the subtle moments that make street photography so special. Whether it's the texture of a building or the movement of people, the Sony A1 doesn’t miss a beat.

📷 85mm Lens
The 85mm lens adds a magical touch to this vlog. Perfect for portrait shots and isolating subjects, it helps me create those beautiful bokeh effects and focus on the intimate moments that might otherwise be lost in the busy streets. Whether I’m capturing the reflections on glass or the soft glow of early morning light, the 85mm lens adds that professional depth and artistry to every frame.

In this vlog, I invite you to experience the energy of BGC—a place where modernity and local life meet. From quiet streets to hidden corners, every frame tells a story.
