CHRISTIAN ANGELO DE GUZMAN
EP, LEAD PHOTOGRAPHER
Christian is the Executive Producer of Istudiyo ADG, a passionate filmmaker whose work spans across cinematography, photography, and post-production. With a strong background in visual storytelling, he plays a key role in shaping the creative vision and technical execution of the studio’s projects. Whether he’s capturing shots on set or perfecting them in the edit bay, Christian approaches every frame with precision, care, and a deep understanding of emotion and visual flow.
His filmmaking journey is guided by a love for cinematic imagery and strong attention to detail. Christian is especially skilled in colour grading and post-production finishing using DaVinci Resolve Studio. His work in colour not only enhances the tone and mood of each project but helps bring stories to life in a way that feels rich, polished, and personal. He enjoys crafting visuals that are both visually impressive and emotionally grounded.
Christian also has a strong passion for photography, favouring Fujifilm cameras for their film-like colours, tactile controls, and timeless look. This love for still imagery carries over into his cinematography style, blending photographic precision with motion and narrative. He’s also a devoted user of Apple products, valuing their seamless performance and creative reliability across editing, media management, and production planning.
His story is deeply connected to the roots of Istudiyo ADG. The studio began as Gelo Photography, a personal project founded by him in April 2017. Originally focused on heartfelt photo shoots with friends, it later evolved into ADG Photo in 2019, earning recognition through school publications, public events, and creative collaborations. In June 2024, ADG Photo entered a brief hiatus to reflect and restructure. By September 4, 2024, it officially relaunched as Istudiyo ADG, building on its legacy with a renewed focus on film, photography, and storytelling.
Today, Christian helps lead Istudiyo ADG with purpose and passion, working with a team of creatives who believe in telling honest, powerful stories. From pre-production to final delivery, Christian ensures each project reflects the studio’s identity: personal, thoughtful, and visually meaningful. His role goes beyond technical skill; he’s a collaborator, mentor, and creative partner, helping others grow while bringing each vision to life through the lens.
