Jon Bantay Jr.
Website Author, Developer and Photographer| me
Yo! I am a network engineer based in Austin TX, born and raised in the Philippines. I consider myself as someone with a strong passion for creativity which led me into web development and photography. I created this website to learn and share. I hope you find something interesting and make your visit to this website worthwhile. You can also hit me up at @jonbantayjr for collaboration shoots!
| the model
Of course, the one and only - @barbiebantay. She has been my go-to model whenever I got some ideas for new projects. She is always available (like, 24/7) and ready to dress up for a shoot - oh did I mention she is my wife? LOL!
| the website
When Angular v17 came out, I really believe that I have to make something out of it - and... here we are. So the framework is Angular v17, utilizing standalone component architecture and server-side rendering for SEO. The app itself is hosted in Netlify with CI/CD using Github Actions. Backend information is fetched from Firebase via Realtime Database. All images are hosted in Amazon S3 bucket. I forgot to mention, all of these are free services. =)
| the camera
All of the captures are taken from Sony a7IV with mostly Viltrox 85mm f1.8 and in certain scenarios with Sony FE 50mm f1.8. The flash I use is Godox AD200 Pro paired with Godox Xpro-S trigger.
