A self-taught
photographer and
software developer by
trade, Suwandi Chandra’s
interest in photography
blossomed while working
in the USA in 2007. He
is now based in Medan,
but his love of nature,
still-life and architectural
objects continues to fuel
his worldwide travels.

Born in Bukittinggi,
Fadli has based himself
in Jakarta for the last four
years. He is one of the
founding members of
Arka Project, an
independent collective
of Indonesian
photographers, and his
work has been published
by Monocle, The New York
Times and Forbes
Indonesia among others.

Adi Nugroho
Hadiwidjojo is a fashion
and fine-art photographer
based out of Jakarta,
Bandung and Yogyakarta.
His passion is finding
unexpected perspectives
and using simple light
and shadow to evoke
emotions. He also
manages Waga Studio
and Gallery.

Mark Parren Taylor
is a UK-based culture and
travel reporter. Though
his assignments can send
him anywhere, he prefers
East and Southeast Asia.
“The speed of change is
astonishing,” he says,
“and at the same time
there’s a satisfying
balance between the new
and the traditional.”

Sendy Aditya Saputra,
or ‘Sendy’ as he’s called
by his mates, found
his creative calling
early on. “Ever since
I felt the nature of
Indonesia calling to my
soul, I’ve been drawn
to expression through
writing and photography
as a travel journalist. I’ve
never looked back from
that moment.”

Minat Suwandi
Chandra, fotografer
autodidak sekaligus
konsultan software
developer, mulai
berkembang saat bekerja
di AS tahun 2007.
Walau kini Suwandi
bermukim di Medan,
kecintaannya terhadap
alam, objek hidup dan
bangunan arsitektur
terus membuatnya
melancong ke berbagai
belahan dunia.

Lahir di Bukittinggi,

Jakarta selama empat

juga salah seorang pendiri
Arka Project, sebuah
perkumpulan fotografer
Indonesia independen.
Foto-fotonya kerap
muncul di berbagai
majalah seperti Monocle,
The New York Times, dan
Forbes Indonesia.

Adi Nugroho

sisi yang tak biasa dengan
pencahayaan sederhana

menggugah rasa. Dia

Mark Parren-Taylor
adalah reporter budaya
dan wisata yang berbasis
di London. Tulisannya
telah dipublikasikan di
seluruh dunia. Meskipun
punya kesempatan
menjelajahi berbagai
negara, Taylor lebih
memilih Asia Timur
dan Asia Tenggara.
“Kemajuan di negaranegara ini pesat sekali,
tetapi keseimbangan
aspek modernitas dan
tradisionalnya tetap
terjaga,” ujarnya.

Sendy Aditya Saputra,
yang akrab disapa
“Sendy”, sudah tahu
bakatnya sejak awal.
“Keindahan alam
Indonesia seolah-olah
memanggil jiwa saya.
Saya pun tertarik untuk
mengeksplorasi dunia
tulis-menulis dan
fotografi sebagai travel
journalist. Sejak itu,
saya tak pernah terpikir
untuk bekerja di bidang
lain,” katanya.
