Rollence Patugan

Teaches at Los Angeles Center of Photography

Rollence Patugan left the corporate world, or shall we say it left him in 2001. He decided to pursue his dream of becoming an actor while freelancing as an IT professional. At some point during this journey, he stepped behind the lens bringing his knowledge and experience with theatre. Ever since then, he has been in the pursuit of capturing through photography, those fleeting moments with people.  

Rollence is a commercial as well as a fine-art photographer who has been a recurring exhibitor for Month of Photography Los Angeles, Smashbox Studios, and City of Brea Art Gallery. He uses both digital and analog formats while taking advantage of today’s technologies by incorporating them into his photography.  

Rollence is a faculty member of the Santa Monica College Photography Department and is very happy to share his creative and technical skills to students at the Los Angeles Center of Photography.
