Wawi Navarroza is a full-time photographer from the Philippines. Her personal work is dark and dream-like. She uses traditional darkroom techniques to create worlds where creatures of her mind or mythology roam.

Her Saturnine series won the 2007 Ateneo Art Awards, Philippines’ premier contemporary art prize last month. I like how she balances commercial with personal work. Her personal vision is strong and I admire that. Don’t you feel like going back to the darkroom to mess around after seeing her work? I miss the smell of stop bath!
I have not been able to find images from her recent exhibition, a homage to the Mexican artist Frida Kahlo. Maybe she will upload them soon.
