Karl King is a Filipino-born British photographer whose work merges fashion storytelling with emotional depth and cultural context. He began by photographing friends and collaborators, developing a style rooted in trust and instinct—now refined through a distinct editorial lens. King moves fluidly between personal projects and fashion features for titles like Vogue Philippines, often drawing from the dual influences of Manila and London that shaped his visual identity. He is currently developing the first print issue of his zine 366, a visual project centered on youth, identity, and style in the Philippines today.
