After completing a degree in psychology, taking a brief stint in law school and earning his MBA, Wesley Villarica found himself honing a one-time hobby into a professional career dedicated to displaying the beauty and novelty of life in photography. His innovative images are not just photos but are testaments that he is constantly pushing the limits of his imagination, constantly advocating a diff
erent point of view. It was this imagination along with his relentless drive that has led him to form Parallax Studio in 2005.

By seamlessly inculcating the colors and textures of make-up, clothing and styling into thematic lighting and set designs, his photos have graced the pages of Preview, Cosmopolitan, FHM, Town and Country, UNO, Metro Society, Appetite Magazine, Philippine Tatler, YES!, People Asia, Blush, Look, and Luxe .
