Cesar Hernando (1946-2019; Manila) —screenwriter, art teacher, graphic designer, production designer, director, overall creative collaborator and yes, photographer, too—has inhabited the movie set for close to five decades now. With his multifarious involvements in Philippine cinema, no one has captured the milieu quite like his photographs…Over the years, Hernando had amassed a treasure trove of images, that, when pieced together, offer rarely seen perspectives of Filipino moviemaking, as well as a history of Filipino cinema. He worked exclusively with the greats, which added even more importance to the pictures he took. Source: Luzviminda.ph
