Welcome to Chatsworth
(2023-) 

Chatsworth is my hometown. It is a small suburban neighborhood within Los Angeles, California, and roughly three miles in diameter. The environment is virtually stuck in some 1950s American western film but with a Mexican flare.

People typically associate Los Angeles (L.A.) with sandy beaches along the Pacific Ocean, the glitz and glam of Hollywood’s celebrities, and traffic-jammed highways full of cars day and night. Chatsworth is the exact opposite, situated away from the ocean and more inland into the San Fernando Valley and surrounded by the Santa Susana Mountains. It is essentially a sleepy town and almost invisible in that it could easily be missed. 

This is home.

FILI (2021-)


Filipinos may often be assumed to be Chinese, Japanese or Vietnamese. We evidently are a minority ethnicity within the UK, and thus overlooked.

‍I documented Filipinos who currently live in London to highlight our diverse presence.
