Davy Linggar and Nizar

One of my KPJ mates posted the e-poster in group. There was a photography workshop by Leica users. One of them is Davy Linggar. I came to the venue in order to broaden my perspective and I just needed refreshment. Arrived in Plaza Indonesia, there were Coky, Bimo and Tandika who were speaking with Davy Linggar. Initially I was wondering, "who is he?". Because I didn't really know exactly face of Davy Linggar. However, as I remember, I have watched interview video of him through Youtube.

We had conversation for around 15-30 minutes. Some points which I remembered:

1. He has been using many camera brands, from Nikon, Sony, Leica, etc.

2. Every skill takes time. Because he already as photographer for 20 years ago.

3. Archive our file as soon as possible. Because when you are getting more files, it takes more time and budget for archiving the files.

4. He says there is camera that just fit for professional working, but it's not fit for personal project or personal use. Beside the specification, use your feeling to choose camera. There should be engagement between you and your camera.

5. He put his personal works in the middle of professional works.

Overall, he is very humble and nice photographer. He is so charismatic as well. I wish I can be photographer as great as him or even better than him, but still using my photography style hehe.

Why does my pose look like his bodyguard haha

Brazilian Model Photoshoot

It started by my friend's chat (Teh Maya). She is make up artist. We have worked together in project for pilot promotion. In short, Teh Maya asked me to do proper model photoshoot. I just excited. Because I never do that before and I really wanted to get that experience. Teh Maya connected me with Wita. She is fashion stylist. We had meeting, decided what we want and prepared for photoshoot.

We just had meeting once, then we communicated through WhatsApp group. Wita gave us option about model. Then we dealt with Geovana. Teh Maya also asked Cecilia as hair stylist. I asked Yudha as lighting assistant.

We did photoshoot in BSD, Wita's home. I brought Lumos's lighting studio and background. We did photoshoot from 12pm until 6 pm. It was long but I was glad getting new portfolio.

And these are the final result:

If you are make up artist, fashio stylist, hair stylist or model, and want to do this kind of photo session, just let me know through my instagram :)

I am Happy Photographer

One of product in Lumos Production is event documentation. We often being hired as professional photographer or videographer by several companies. One of the last event is Seminar about Non-Communicable Diseases by Health Ministry.

Actually, there are a lot of event that we captured, but I just want to post this event due to client excitement. The event was held in Hotel Borobudur and there was also cultural night which has been held in Jimbaran Restaurant, Ancol.

I captured some pictures from seminar, outdoor activity and cultural night. One of the pleasure is getting conversation with doctors, nutritionists, scientist and other bright people. I didn't just take photography but I made a friend with them.

These are several pictures:

In the last day, suddenly the officer and many participant asked me for pictures. Actually, in working contract, I would not send files in d-day, I will have time to do post processing. However, they really wanted to see the pictures. I just distributed through their flash disks.

There was one participant who come to me after seeing the pictures. I just asked them "How's the pictures, ma'am? Do you have any constructive feedback?". She just said as written below

That's literally what she said. I didn't feel out of happy or something. I just being happy because I can do what I love. And when we do something from our heart, the good result will come. I wish there will be more happy customers which served by Lumos Production :)

I am a Photography Student

After resigning from engineering company, I dedicated this year for learning about photography and videography focusly. Yes, I'm running photography and videography business. I always think the way to enhance my ability in those areas. I guess, we just have three options. The first one, taking formal/informal degree. Second, join photography or videography community. Third, working professionally as assistant or whoever of adorable photographer/videographer. I guess, I'll get first and second option in once.

In the end of January, I went to free seminar in Conclave. I met with a guy and he said "Do you want to seriously learn about photography? Join Kelas Pagi. It's very insightful". I already knew about Kelas Pagi and I have joined workshop from Kelas Pagi in last October regarding Fashion Photography.

I assume that Kelas Pagi just conducts free class/workshop/seminar. Nevertheless, it is such as school. If you want to join, you need to wait open recruitment anually, submit your portfolio and having interview. Then, if you are eligible, you can join that class. From my batch. Over 200 applicants, about 90 were called to intervew and 50 are accepted as Student in Kelas Pagi Jakarta.

Last week, I had orientation week from Monday to Friday. I needed to wake up at 5 a.m. Then headed to Third Eye Studio, Cipete at 5.30 a.m. Because the class is started at 6 a.m. I feel so lucky being student in here. Eventhough I just join for one week, but I guess this will be one-year-life-changing experiences for me, especially as professional photographer.

Anyway, this week we don't go to class because we need to prepare proposal. We should choose which path we want to focus. Fashion? Beauty? Journalism? Food? Commercial? etc. I choose commercial as my major. However, final decision is in Pa'e (Anton Ismael) as our mentor. He will choose the major and mentor for us. I wish nothing but the best hehehe
