Caffeinated Photographers was founded in Dipolog City, Philippines on November 4, 2011 by Mario Dandi Romano with Paulina Uy, Camellia Alferez, Miracle Romano, and Rose Alferez. Caffeinated Photographers was initially just a temporary moniker for the group that was inspired by their shared love for coffee and photography. Forbear and Ralph Nordstrom from the United States, Kah Kit Yoong from Austr

The name was an instant hit with the fans and the Official Caffeinated Photog-raphers page eventually spawned a Facebook group that now has thousands of members. What started as an informal gathering of friends over espresso after sunrise and sunset photo shoots quickly developed into a group with almost 6,000 members worldwide.
