The prestigious Washington Post has titled him "PHOTOGRAPHER TO THE FABULOUS" no less, what with his subjects ranging from a Rockefeller to a Vanderbilt, from Dukes and Duchesses to Prince and Princesses, Rupert Jacinto's subjects have always been the priveleged, the powerful and the beautiful. Jacinto's portraits could aptly be called "a treasury of women captured at its best...his works bear the stamp of elegance, beauty and dignity". Excerpt from the book "Filipino Excellence", 1993 Although the world of photography advances with an everchanging technology, still what makes all the difference is Jacinto. What makes a "Jacinto"? It is a portrait that reveals the artist's eye for beauty. It is his sensitivity that captures the charm and spirit of his subjects, photographed in a style that belongs to no other than the distinguished artist-photographer. What more could be desired of an artist, when he is able to immortalize beauty? The signature Jacinto truly is synonymous to beauty and elegance; and having photographed the most distinguished, the most celebrated men and women of the world, is a fitting tribute to his excellence. Aimee Ramirez, Editor Exerpt from the book "RECUERDOS" THE FILIPINO WOMAN, 1994 Jacinto, long considered one of the foremost photographers of the Far East, is no stranger to beautiful women around the world. Jacinto spent the last few months in the salons and drawing rooms photographing New York's goodlooking women. I mean, it's a lousy job, but somebody had to do it...." SUZY The New York Post, 1988 "PHOTOGRAPHER TO THE FAAABULOUS", who has recently been snapping his way into the parlors of some of America's most socially prominent women....a disco version of Lord Snowdon.. moves easily among the upper crust, specializing in Town and Country-inspired images." Stephanie Mansfield THE WASHINGTON POST, 1988 "I choose the photographers I pose for", the controversial Ivana Trump, former wife of American real estate magnate Donald Trump, told Rupert Jacinto. "I have turned down so many photographers from all over the world, who wanted to take my pictures, but I agreed to pose for you. You've photographed all my friends. You're very good." These words of praise from Ivana illustrates how Rupert Jacinto, well known high-society photographer of the Philippines has been accepted into the inner circle of snobbish societys of New York, Washington, D.C. and Palm Beach. Estrella Miranda Cover story - PANORAMA Magazine The Manila Bulletin July 29, 1990 "New York has taken him in", noted journalist-author Beth Day Romulo in her Manila Bulletin column sometime ago entitled "Another New York Success". "Like Lea Salonga, everyone knows his name. It's a tribute to Filipino talent and modesty, in both their cases." An internationally known writer, Romulo was speaking of Rupert jacinto, a successful Filipino "alta sociedad (high society) photographer who left his thriving enterprise in Manila to pursue his destiny in New York, a world center for fashion and society photography, and found it. Now, he is on top of his own dream world. Excerpt from the book "FILIPINO ACHIEVERS IN THE USA AND CANADA" PROFILES IN EXCELLENCE" by Isabelo Crisostomo, 1996 |
