Foremost a fashion photographer, Artu Nepomuceno has slowly cemented himself in the industry by way of shooting numerous fashion editorials and magazine covers for Esquire Philippines, Rogue, L’Officiel Manila, Tatler Asia, and several others. His transition to advertising came on the heels of the print industry’s decline—he’s since shot for clients such as Rustan’s, Bo’s Coffee, Charriol, Harlan & Holden, Patty Ang, Carolina Herrera, Belo Beauty, and others. But it’s his work with New York-based non-profit organization, Waves for Water that has kept his craft of photography relevant. Traveling as far as Mongolia, Honduras, to Nepal and India, as well as countless provinces around the Philippines, it’s in shooting accidental portraits and glimpses of locals’ daily lives that Artu is able to take part in building a narrative for the humanitarian mission of W4W.

Aside from his work in and out of the studio, Artu has held several workshops both on-site and virtually in the last five years. He has done portrait training for the photographers of Great Image, style and signature searching through workshops with Nude Floor, and discussions on making photography a sustainable businesses in other platforms such as GetCraft. Artu also gives yearly portfolio reviews to starting out Filipino photographers. Recently, he started a series called "Light Notes", where he breaks down the technicality of his photo shoots with lighting diagrams and stories. Latest additions to his teaching experience is hosting weekly sessions in audio-only social media platform Clubhouse called Tethered, and private lessons in Amphy.
