His solo exhibitions as a photographer includes ‘Pak!’ (2014) at Galerie Astra, in Makati and ‘Kidultery’ (2011) at West Gallery in Quezon City, Philippines. Sergio’s work has often been described as raw, transgressive, and irreverent. His method has always been about energy and movement; taking a gamble,getting involved, and going with the flow without diffidence. He released his 1st book called “Pak” (2017) published by Dienacht Publishing (DE). Then followed by “A Bastard Son” (2019) published by Zen Foto Gallery (JP). His latest release “Dios Mio” (2021) is raw, passionate, direct, honest without a bit of compromise to be softer to please the viewer, without turning away from any detail of the life that is genuinely enjoyed and fully lived through the way it is, however unconventional it might seem.This book was also published by Dienacht Publishing. Brian Sergio currently lives and works in Manila, Philippines
