The Creatives Behind ARQUIZA.PH
ARQUIZA.PH is the dedicated brainchild of the dynamic husband-and-wife creative team, Jayson and Jo Anne Arquiza. Positioned as an approachable yet highly skilled photography duo, they created this platform specifically to showcase their premium portfolio of property, real estate, and creative spaces. This specialized photography hub operates in seamless parallel with their video production house, Roundhouse Productions, which highlights their extensive commercial and corporate video projects.
Organic Beginnings and Professional Milestones
Jayson’s journey into the visual arts began organically when he first picked up a camera simply to photograph their first-born child. What started as a personal passion for documenting family moments quickly accelerated into a highly successful, full-time career as a photographer, videographer, licensed CAAP drone pilot, and editor. During this formative period, Jayson successfully shared his growing passion for the craft with his better half, Jo Anne. This shared enthusiasm seamlessly transformed a solitary pursuit into a powerful husband-and-wife creative partnership.
His professional trajectory took a pivotal leap when he was commissioned to shoot editorial portraits for the national media network ABS-CBN. This breakthrough opportunity paved the way for the diverse, high-end portfolio the couple builds today, expanding their expertise into KV’s and commercial advertorials, real estate, and product photography.
Industry Recognition and Pedigree
The couple’s deep commitment to their craft and their hybrid creative workflow has earned them formal recognition from some of the industry’s leading global brands. Jo Anne is the proud Grand Champion of the prestigious Canon PhotoMarathon 2019, while Jayson recently secured the 1st Runner-Up title in the Canon PhotoMarathon 2026. Together, their collective expertise earned them an exclusive invitation to join the esteemed lineup of Canon Professional Shooters.
Beyond their camera work, they are heavily invested in the technical art of perfect illumination. Jayson currently serves as a Key Opinion Leader (KOL) for Aputure Philippines, actively championing the brand’s versatile Amaran line of lighting solutions.
Signature Style & Business Philosophy
The Arquiza signature style has always been fresh, real, relaxed, and unobtrusive. They believe in capturing vibrant imagery through an artistic narrative style—striking a unique balance between authentic storytelling and fine art photography. There is nothing unnecessarily fancy about their approach; they prefer their work to be clean, crisp, and beautifully warm.
On the operational front, Jayson and Jo Anne firmly believe in the value of a fast, efficient turnaround time. They have streamlined their post-production processes to ensure that the moment one stunning final gallery is delivered, they are fully prepared to accept their next exciting creative brief.
Beyond the Lens
When they are not framing a beautiful interior or lighting a commercial set, the couple is out exploring. They share a profound love for going around the world and discovering new places, whether that means wandering through the historic, romantic streets of Europe or taking the rugged path less traveled through off-roading, car camping, and overlanding. As avid drone operators, these adventures—both international and off-the-grid—constantly provide them with breathtaking new horizons to launch into the sky and capture the world from a bird’s-eye view.
Photography aside, Jayson and Jo Anne cherish life’s simple joys. They deeply love raising their three wonderful kids, savoring every single moment and loving them to bits. They find immense happiness in the everyday—whether that means sharing their home with their beloved cats, spending quality time with friends, cozying up for a movie night with a bowl of popcorn, or exploring their mutual love for great food.
