The Banda Journal in One World November 2019

Some images from The Banda Journal is published in November 2019 issue of One World. Really happy that images from Banda Eli also included in the final publications in the magazine. Banda Eli is a small village at the eastern side of Kei Besar island. This is where the descendants of the original Bandanese who escaped Dutch atrocities in 1621 still live until these days.

Meanwhile, a dedicated book for this project, designed by Jordan Marzuki, is currently at the finishing stage. If all is going well, it will be published by the first quater of 2020. Can’t wait!

On the President's Trail for Bloomberg News

It came as a suprise when I was given a rare access to follow and photograph Indonesian President, Joko Widodo, to accompany an exclusive interview led by John Micklethwait for Bloomberg News last October. During one full day, I followed him around the city of Surakarta, Central Java (his hometown) and ended with a five minutes portrait session in a makeshift studio that I set at airport's VIP room.

I feel so lucky that I happened to photograph him during two decisive times. The first was five years ago, shortly before he was running for presidency. And this one, shortly ahead of his second inaugration.
