Daniel Nathan Castillo - Photo & Video Specialist

Crafting cinematic stories through the art of visual media

I'm Daniel Nathan Castillo, a Photo & Video Specialist based in Metro Manila, Philippines, with a passion for transforming creative concepts into compelling visual narratives. With a Bachelor of Science in Digital Animation from the University of the East, I bring a unique blend of artistic vision and technical expertise to every project.

From high-fashion campaigns with Francis Libiran to government communications at DHSUD, and independent film productions with Oxin Films, I thrive at the intersection of storytelling and cinematography. Currently serving as Cinematographer & Editor at Scrapestatic Studio, I continue to push creative boundaries across weddings, corporate events, web series, and feature films.
