Marco Ilagan (1992) is a street photographer based in the Philippines. His work explores the tension between movement and stillness, capturing moments that are often overlooked—fragments of daily life unfolding in real time. Raised in Manila, Marco draws from the city’s raw energy and layered streets as both subject and teacher.

Through his travels, he seeks not the spectacular but the honest—faces in a crowd, shadows on walls, the quiet rhythm of unfamiliar places. His photography is rooted in presence, instinct, and the belief that the most telling stories happen when no one’s looking.
