Hi and welcome to Lomography Magazine! Please introduce yourself to the Lomography Community.

I go by the nickname Jocky or Jo. I am based in Jakarta, Indonesia, and I started photography in 2008.

Please tell us a bit about your photographic background.

Photography was always fascinating to me through my early years in school. Having worked in a financial institution for years I then challenged myself to resign and pursue the thing that has always been caught my mind – photography. I had to start from scratch and build my skills, through learning by myself and with a couple of mentors along the way. I kind of published my work through Instagram. I was initially drawn to landscape and travel photography. Traveling is another hobby of mine. From traveling, I get to meet new people, experience new cultures and capture it through my lens.

It took me by surprise that others also like the pictures that I post. From that, I started getting freelance jobs here and there, from organizations, institutions, even personal projects. Since last year, I have been focusing on the path of being a professional photographer and videographer, in which clientele come from both corporate and personal. Each project has its own unique touch. The client has their own version of a perfect moment to last forever in a photo, and I have a knack of getting it done in an extraordinary picture. Simply contact and meet me to tell me about your view and we’ll take it from there to create a great combination of both impressions.
