PROFILE - IAN FELIX ALQUIROS the photoartist behind the forthcoming exhibit “ HOW DO I LOVE THEE ”  A fund-raising exhibit featuring the works of noted photo-artist Ian Felix Alquiros will open on July 8, 2012 --- 6 p.m. at The L ove Yourself Hub located at 1850 Leon Guinto St., Malate, Manila (at the back of PWU). The theme of “How Do I Love Thee” focuses on the ideals of The Love Yourself Project by propagating ideas and practices that encourage loving one's self -- to DARE to be oneself, to CARE for oneself, and to SHARE oneself as a way to multiplying joy. The photographs, which were shot mostly in black and white, will focus on the male torso. Ian Felix Alquiros worked for almost 10 years in the call center industry before shifting to photography. “It has taken its toll on my lifestyle --- losing the creative and artistic side of my life that has always been a source of contentment and joy. So, I decided to learn photography - as a hobby - to spend my leisure time creatively.”
