I am a passionate photojournalist, rooted in broadcasting and journalism, my love for photography grew at Hard Rock Radio Bali in 2008, capturing moments from the streets.
My journey continued as I honed my craft with workshops like John Stanmeyer's Bali Photo Workshop (2012), Francesco Zizola's Noor Images (2013), and the Foundry Photojournalism Workshop (2015), and the Permata Photojournalist Grant with Kadir Van Lohuizen (Noor Images) in 2014.
I'm devoted to capturing visual storytelling, using my camera as a catalyst for change, from politics to social justice, and the environment. My work has been showcased and praised in various publications and exhibitions.
Beyond capturing moments, I am also a workshop facilitator for photojournalism and photo story, inspiring others to express themselves through the art of visual storytelling.
I invite you to see my portfolio and social media channels, and I look forward to collaborating with you.
