For photographers, the world is their creative backyard because they go wherever their subject takes them. They leave home and set foot towards the known (and the unknown) in their pursuit of capturing the big, defining moments. For family man Dux Carvajal, this jet setting lifestyle is a balancing act of seeing the world but keeping things grounded at home. Thankfully, a strong, stable internet connection by Converge keeps him connected to his family wherever he is and affords his family the digital means to live, work, and play while he\u2019s away.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cEvery other week there\u2019s an event for my major client, which is often in Bangkok, then one week back here in the Philippines, then Qatar, back to Bangkok, then maybe Singapore. I\u2019ve been a photographer for close to 15 years now. The main thing I shoot is sports, mostly mixed martial arts and that gives me the opportunity to travel around different countries every other week. I\u2019m very blessed to be able to do this for a living,\u201d says Dux, giving a glimpse of the lifestyle he\u2019s taken on as a sports photographer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBeing a sports photographer is an incredible job because you get to capture history. You get to capture the moments and the emotions. You are making history through your images,\u201d he adds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As if that\u2019s not enough, he manages his own events company which offers photography as a logical accompaniment to the services of the company. This suite of services is an expansion of his skills in public relations, where he and his wife both started out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI started my career doing PR for a sports channel where I was able to travel with a sports company and experienced their events. It got me thinking maybe I could do that locally. I partnered with some of my friends and started an events company.  Our first clients, who are actually still our clients today, are mostly international ones so business has been good,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to a stable business and a job bringing him to different corners of the world, Dux has been able to build a happy little nest too with his wife and three kids in Quezon City.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When he\u2019s not out shooting for mounting an event, he\u2019s at home enjoying quality time watching streaming channels or local content via Vision, the all-in-one entertainment box offered by Converge in partnership with affiliate cable company, Pacific KabelNet. Vision is a value-added service for Converge subscribers, providing access to a broader selection of local and international television channels for a monthly fee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFor us, the main benefit of Vision is, it converted our non-smart TV to a smart tv. It\u2019s a plug and play device and once it\u2019s been set up, all the channels are there. And the TV is suddenly a smart tv, you get your Disney Plus, Spotify, YouTube and browsing through the TV channels content you get a lot of content and there\u2019s BlastTV too.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The \u2018Vision Xperience Box\u2019  by Converge offers 65 local and international TV channels for an additional P99 per month on top of the monthly plan, or P 299 a month for 82 channels. This box includes Kapamilya channels as well as international news and entertainment channels like HBO, Cinemax, USA Today, and many more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aside from these channels, subscribers have quick, one-click access to Google apps, online games, and OTT apps like HBO Go, Amazon Prime, YouTube, and Spotify.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThere\u2019s content for everyone: my daughters are always on Disney+ for the Disney princesses, my son watches science shows, my wife is a big K-drama fan, and for me, it\u2019s mostly the sports channels,\u201d he shares.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the successive speed boosts the plans have undergone since 2016, subscribers can all the more take advantage of their speeds, using their connection for gaming and work at the same time. This is yet another benefit Dux enjoys with his Converge connection, as he sends over hefty image files to his clients abroad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBefore, that was my worry. It\u2019s embarrassing for the clients, you\u2019re just downloading a 10Mb file, and yet, it\u2019s taking too long. My clients are abroad, so they\u2019re used to lightning-fast speeds. They can\u2019t understand what\u2019s taking me so long. But because of the speeds that we get through Converge, I\u2019m very confident to now say, \u2018Hey, I can transfer these files right away.\u2019 The work gets done quickly, even the workflow as well,\u201d he ended.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dux is subscribed to the FiberX 2500 of Converge, giving him equal upload and download speeds, so he can experience uninterrupted internet access while streaming movies, downloading large files, and even playing online games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
