Garin

I returned to Jakarta after a four-year stay in the Netherlands. I was homesick. Besides, I no longer had the permission to stay in the country. It was a difficult situation. 

During my time there, I could earn some money thanks to household work and photography. I found out that I was actually quite talented and I thought of developing these skills further in my country.

Through my work, I seek to capture and document social themes such as migration. It is all about people. It allows me to transform tough experiences into something positive.

With the support I received, I purchased professional photography equipment. I am now back home where I manage to generate some basic income from assignments as a wedding photographer. In the future, I hope to work as a photo reporter.
