In the past ten years as a landscape and fine arts photographer, he had received more than 40 national and international awards, and his works had been selected in numerous juried exhibitions in many states in the U.S. and in other countries such as Canada, Austria, France, Germany, and Sweden.

He loves to capture the beauty of nature with the least number of elements, framed and composed in a simple austere view. Interviewed onstage in Linz, Austria during the Awards Ceremony for the Hasselblad Austrian Circuit, he was asked why he likes the “quiet” or “silent” style of photography. Esguerra replied he was influenced strongly by Japanese Zen principles. He said, "I strive to make my photographs simple, clean, and uncluttered".

He studied Business and Economics at the University of the Philippines, and obtained his MBA from The George Washington University in Washington, DC.
