My name is Johnedel Matias,
I am an Ibaloi Igorot-Filipino Canadian, a person of Indigenous decent from the northern mountains of the Philippines. My ancestry consists of Ibaloi parents from Bokod and Kabayan Benguet. I spent my childhood in Benguet until my family moved to Canada in 1997 where I have now spent most of my life.
I specialize in portraits and event photography based on my work with BIBAK British Columbia as well as The Portrait Stories and Brellow.
I focus on capturing expressions and characteristics of people and their surrounding, with the goal of reflecting moments as they are. I document special moments like weddings, events and traditional portraits with the eye of portraying who they are and what is meaningful. My strengths are utilizing the environment and aspects that show the emotion of both subject and atmosphere, no matter the scene or setting.
I would love to work with you and can't wait to capture your moments for years to come. Lets go make some memories.
Send me a message through my Contact page to get in touch or send me a personal message through any social media and I will be excited to talk to you.
Kalajo shiyay keto!
