I’ve always been fascinated by photographs and photography, I liked photos of artist like Salvador Dalí and Frida Kahlo more than I liked their paintings. The photos were pieces of art themselves. And I loved looking through my parents and grandparents photo albums, looking back through time.
Later in my life, when digital cameras entered the scene it became so much easier to learn how to take pictures so I got one. I started my career by photographing sports, almost accidentally, since I wanted to capture emotions. Usually when you point a camera at someone they become somewhat self conscious, I wanted to avoid that so I figured that if a person is busy doing something else they won’t think about the camera directed towards them. I was right, and loved taking sport photos, especially roller derby photos.
These last yers I’ve been photographing surfing, I’m so impressed by these athletes too and I love water. And water is the most important thing to our existence, if there's no water everything dies and vanishes. I'm photographing everything that happens in and out of the waters, like fishermen, fish or here in Indonesia people praying to the sea. Yes, I'm mostly about water.
