The photo brief
Everyday motorcycles. Honest moments.
Motorcycles are part of everyday life across Metro Manila, but the images used to represent riders often feel staged or disconnected from reality.
We want original photographs of privately used motorcycles and scooters, their owners and the streets they move through, at home, at school, at work or on a daily commute. Never take photos while you ride.
✓
Real motorcycles and scooters
Commonly seen in Metro Manila, used privately rather than for delivery or ride-hailing.
✓
Authentic environments
Neighborhoods, schools, homes, workplaces and everyday commuting settings.
✓
People with permission
Owners and riders are welcome when everyone identifiable has consented.
✓
Useful details
Show how motorcycles are used, parked and cared for in daily life.
