Interview Patrick Kasingsing
Hi! Please introduce yourself.
Hi! I’ m Reau Gutierrez, founder and owner of Focal Project. I’ m a photographer, videographer, movie critic, vintage bike lover and a certified Karambit( FMA) instructor. Focal Project strives to create unique solutions for unique creative dilemmas. We have the expertise and knowledge to get our clients’ messages across whether it be a local or global audience in the field of photography, videography, graphic design, industrial design, as well as a host of digital solutions.
How did Focal Project come to be? What did you set out to do by starting it?
Focal Project started out as a hobby which eventually turned into a one-man photography studio. I first started doing photography projects with clients from my day job, and from there my referrals grew in number. My first major client was Levi’ s. For them, I did products, portrait and fashion.
