British photographer exhibits at Ayala Museum

British photographer Justin James Wright, and expatriate in the Philippines since 1998, will hold a fine art photographic exhibition at the ArtistSpace of Ayala Museum from October 17 to November 3. Titled Resilience: The Isla Pulo Community, the exhibit is comprised of a series of poignant, fine art photographs and takes viewers into the heart of the people of Isla Pulo—an impoverished community of roughly 1,000 people—on the shores of Manila Bay.

Wright artistically shoots a surreal place of strength amid squalor, perseverance despite poverty, and resolve, above ruin. Through his lens, he allows viewers to step into everyday life situations within the community, and enables them to feel the raw emotion captured in the moment.
