Last March 16, realme kicked off the Portrait Master Academy with a fun photowalk along Escolta, Manila. Headlining the inaugural event was led by a commercial photographer, Stephen Capuchino, who showed us just how they could be portrait masters with the realme 12 Pro+ 5G.

It was, indeed, a needed release, and we wanted to replicate that feeling — and we knew we had many more of these in us.

Christy was a latecomer by a week and blew the project wide open by leaving her home to make her first photograph, bringing a delicious, transgressive indulgence to the group of pictures. Christy states, “For that first photo, my daughter and I drove from Berkeley to San Francisco to
