Client/Partner Message

Hashim Guinomla

Artou supported several bowling club events for the Dubai Filipino Bowling Club during 2024–2025 through professional photography and video coverage. The visual documentation captured meaningful moments and helped preserve lasting memories for the members and the Club.

While certain major events — including the Independence Bowling Cup 2025 and the World Overseas Filipino Bowling Tour 2025 — were covered by the same professional photographer under a different company at that time, she is now operating independently under her own company, Artou.

Additionally, Artou recently provided coverage for the highly successful Year-End Party and Grand Awarding Ceremony held in January 2026, which beautifully highlighted the achievements, camaraderie, and vibrant spirit of the Club.

Through these collaborations, the events were documented with professionalism and creativity, ensuring treasured memories for both the Club and its members.

Client/Partner Message

Ms. Regine Dolor

Today marks more than the start of a business—
it marks the birth of a vision.

Artou Photography and Videography stands for every moment worth remembering,
every story waiting to be told,
and every emotion that deserves to live beyond a single day.

With Artou, we celebrate the beauty in the ordinary,
the magic in the milestones,
and the power of capturing life as it unfolds—authentic, raw, and real.

May this launch be the first chapter of a journey filled with creativity, purpose, and impact.
May Artou become a home for stories that inspire, connect, and endure.
And may every click, every frame, and every film reflect the heart behind this dream.

Welcome to Artou—
where moments become art,
and stories find their light.

Congratulations Cris and Artou Team!
