Butbut Kalinga Woman by Jacob Maentz
Jacob is a freelance travel, culture and documentary photographer based in the Philippines.  His passion lies in creating images that communicate a strong sense of place and cultural awareness in unique, challenging situations.  His photographs often reflect his background in conservation and explore issues related to the human condition and natural world. Jacob’s dedication to visual storytelling is enhanced by his love for travel and cultural exchange.  Travel is something Jacob grew up with as a young boy and his time in Latin America during college is where he discovered his passion for the camera.  In 2003, he was brought to the Philippines when he joined the United States Peace Corps and returned a few years later to start a professional career in photography.

Jacob works primarily as a freelance photographer. He has been commissioned by corporations, private organizations, universities and independent writers and his images have appeared on everything from TV commercials to magazine and book covers. Most of his travel and documentary work is currently represented by Corbis Images. If you would like to discuss your upcoming photo needs with Jacob please feel free to contact him here.

When not working on photo assignments, Jacob can be found volunteering his time with conservation organizations and local NGO’s.  He is married with two children and currently resides in Cebu City, Philippines.

Life is endless. My soul travels from one realm to another. When the flesh dies, my soul is reborn into a new dimension; and while the breadth of life is infinite, my humanity is bound by my earthliness. The treasures of my journey are therefore held deep in the recesses of my mind and soul, the rest are blogged.
