So last Friday, me and my partner IshMelly had the privilege to attend and photograph “AJ Rafael Presents: Music Speaks”. It was a benefit project to promote and spread awareness of Autism, something close to heart for AJ. Along with AJ Rafael, there were a host of numerous talented acts, many of whom are highly recognized youtube sensations. The project was two nights, but because of prior engagements I could only take part of the first night. The first night included many artists and performers including: Derek Portea, JR Aquino, New Like Us, MoVal Concert Chorale (MVCC), AJ Rafael Band, and Gabe Bondoc. Also performing were two of my close friends: Jennifer Chung and Quest Dance Crew (MTV’s ABDC). All in all, it was a great turnout and all the artists and performers put on an amazing show. It’s crazy to see so many talented people at such a young age.
Anyways, here are some shots from the event. The rest will be distributed by AJ himself.
