Stepping back into 1920s Manila.
The Juan Luna Building (formerly the First National City Bank of New York) stands as a silent witness to Binondo’s golden age. There’s a certain gravity to this Neoclassical giant that you only truly feel after the sun goes down.
I wanted to capture the contrast between its stoic stone pillars and the modern pulse of the city. Manila’s history isn’t just in books; it’s carved into these walls.
