Illustrado Faces 2019 – Ehla Marie Tesorero

Ehla Marie Tesorero

Dubai – UAE 

About the model: 

Im Ehla aka “Lala Quaimco” I am working as a professional dancer here in UAE as one of the few Filipina regulars who performs at high profile events with international artists and some Filipino Events where I get invited to perform for the Filipino Community )which is one of my favorite crowds). During 2017, I won as the Best in Talent and 3rd runner up in the King and Queen of the Philippines pageant where I networked with photographers and began modeling afterwards.

Aside from performing, I am a BS Psychology graduate pursuing to be a certified Safety Officer as my colleagues  and I have seen my potential while I was working in a hospital as a Facility Management and Safety Coordinator.

I am very passionate about everything that I do, doing something you love makes everything easier like when I perform on stage and started dancing, I just let all the happiness and energy burst out and spread the same feeling to the people watching..

All the smiles and compliments i get from people around me are my inspiration to keep doing what I love which is to inspire and make people happy.

Photographer:

Ernesto Herrera Jr.

About the Photographer:

I have been here in the UAE for 13 years, starting off as a Barista at Costa Coffee. Through my passion in what I was doing, I was promoted as a Cafe Manager in field of Food and Beverage. I never went to college but I always believed in “Delighting yourself in God’s name”, to which he would grant your hearts desires. So I aspired to become a photographer and I enrolled in OPPPS, the Filipino organization here in Dubai, where Cesar Parroco mentored me. My dream is to become a fashion photographer someday.
