Specializing in architectural, travel, and commercial photography, his works have been featured in the covers and pages of major publications and magazines such as the Philippine Tatter, People Asia, Blueprint, and Cocoon.

As an architect and photographer, his approach is a fusion of both professions, allowing him to interpret the essence of architectural masterpieces in his own extraordinary perspective. Coupled with enthusiasm towards working with people and understanding their ideas, he fuels his craft with passion and excitement that reflects in all his works. 

SYNTHESIS is an exposition of the harmony between two arts— architecture and photography. Captured with the talent of Marc Henrich Go and featuring the works of renowned architecture & design firm Budji+Royal, this exhibit is a documentation of the intuitive collaboration between creative minds. 

Budji+Royal is design firm led by the visionary tandem of Budji Layug and Royal Pineda, who together conceived a Total Design approach where architecture, interior design, furniture, styling, and landscaping would be planned into an integrated whole specifically for the unique needs of each project. Setting a high-performance standard for professional design services, the partnership continues its advocacy of Modem Filipino Design that is not only relevant locally but is also celebrated internationally with projects around the world. Budji+Royal has many remarkable projects that exhibit the collaboration of numerous talents. The distinct character of their Modern Filipino Design is centered on nature, with marvelous scale and lightness of spaces.

Drawing similarities between the fields of architecture and photography, the challenge for the photographer is to visually convey, through his images, the meaningful spatial experience of atmosphere and emotion in the designer's works.
