Hi, I’m Mike Macaraeg, an event, sports, and food photographer.

Photography has forever been a part of my life; I guess you could say it's part of my DNA. From my childhood, I can remember my father with his Nikon in hand to capture memories from my childhood and I love to do the same for my family (but I have a Canon).

For the better part of a decade, I've had the privilege to photograph professional sports teams like the Winnipeg Jets on behalf of the Filipino Journal, as well as events like the Winnipeg Folk Festival, and other food-related events.
