Lester V. Ledesma has written and photographed stories around the world for a long list of editorial and commercial clients. Aside from gracing countless magazine pages with words and imagery, he has also made his mark as a photo-editor and consultant to some of Southeast Asia’s top travel and lifestyle publications.

For over two decades, he has illustrated travel guidebooks and websites, documented a wide range of photographic subjects and helped produce all kinds of print projects ranging from camera magazines to overseas cover shoots. A veteran traveler, his expertise in the field (not to mention his varied skill set) is a proven asset to clients.

Based in Singapore, Lester covers the Asian region with the familiarity of home. He loves street food, cold beer and interesting conversation. His work, Seeing Elvis, had also been part of the inaugural SIPF in 2008.
