Rollence Patugan

I left the corporate world or shall I say it left me in 2001. I decided to pursue my dream of becoming an actor while I freelanced as a website designer. Several years ago, I stepped behind the lens bringing my knowledge and experience with theatre, and I have been in the pursuit of capturing, through the lens, those fleeting moments with people ever since. I am based in Los Angeles, CA.
