We have a chat with photographer, graphic designer and electrical
engineer, Ezekiel Inocencio. Originally from Manila, he talks to us
about how drawing started his love for both sides of his career.
Ezekiel
Hi Chris, I’m all done with halloween lunch!
Not exactly, there’s way more to explore out
there haha.
Hayley is very sweet. Yes, I’m an engineer by
day. I’ve always been a visua l artist...actually
what came first was my drawings. I loved to
sketch. I was always trying to sketch down
vehicles and characters from some of my
favourite movies like Star Wars.

did you dress up this year?
No I wasn’t able to do so. But I’ll be
grabbing something quick after work
nice -- that’s awesome. Glad you’re
back -- How was Alberta?
haha.. me too. I had a massive fascination
over drawing gigantic boats, buildings and
cars
Yes I know! Alberta is just stunning. We
often get lost in our concrete jungles here
and forget that we have mountains out
west. Highly recommend taking a trip out
there
Definitely! It’s because of those films, half of
me was engrossed in how I could possibly
make some of those technologies a reality
(hence engineering) and the other half just
went wow that’s stunning (hence visual artist)
Yah.. one of my best friends is out there..
Never got the chance to go out.. sometime
soon. Which part were you in?
I was going to be an architect or something
-- at least drafting. but then I got lazy and
decided that I’m going to build programs on
computers.
You should do it! I flew out to Calgary first
and explored Banff and Lake Louise which
is pretty close. Then I went up to Edmonton
for my friends’ wedding and we explored
Jasper for a bit afterwards.
What are you working on right now at work?
I’m actually working on some electrical
drawings for an industrial building. My
discipline is electrical engineering.
And yea, being an architect is not a job, it’s a
lifestyle. Tons of work
holy crap. you literally got a tour
of the province
I was chatting with Hayley and
she says you’re awesome..
you’re an engineer by day?
engineer by day, graphic artist at
some other time, photographer
other times and videographer as
well -- what came first?
