'Nature's Smile' is the first image in my three-part NFT photography series, 'It's More Fun In The Philippines'.

I traveled to the Philippines at the beginning of my photography journey in 2018 and this is one of the first aerial images I ever captured shortly after learning how to operate a drone.

This trip marks a significant moment in my career as it was the first time I was hired as a photographer. I was contracted by Philippines Tourism Board.

What you see is an aerial perspective of Sohoton Cove, an other-worldy landscape boasting interconnected coves and lagoons in the Philippines.

Reaching this location in the far southeast corner of the country required 3 flights, and a 2-hour long boat ride.

As the boat entered the cove I was lost for words. I had never before in my life seen a landscape quite as unique as this.

My local Filipino guide docked at a small wooden pier and I launched my drone to capture this phenomenal image of the lagoon that was smiling back at me :)
