Ms. Elvira Almendra-Tankiamco, also known as Elvs is a member of PBB (Photo Bureau ti Biscaya)She started taking photographs using DSLR two years ago. She does not have any formal training in photography but learned the basics from a mentor who taught her a lot about photography and has greatly influenced her to be passionate with her craft. She is married with three kids and works in one of the most reputable banks in the Philippines. Aside from her family and work, she enjoys photography a lot. For her, it is a way of self expression.

I am proud to say that I call her as my soul sister and our connection is bound by our same passion in photography. We got connected through Engr. James Singlador, one of the most-awarded photographers in the Philippines.
