By adding photography onto his daily activities, Roni Roa breaks the monotone brought upon by a daily office routine. His interest in photojournalism urged him to cover events mainly organized by Filipino communities.

Roni noticed that the essence of a photograph is somehow getting lost in a swamp of digital manipulations in the world of digital art. Roni believes that photography, nowadays, gets easily mixed up with digital artwork than what it really should -- a representation of reality... this notion led Roni's interest in photojournalism.

There is not much to speak about Roni’s education. He left college and, at his young age, he chose to get educated in the school of schools -- the real world.
