Melbourne-based photographer working at the intersection of street photography, urban observation, and everyday life. I look for quiet gestures, uncanny juxtapositions, and the subtle tension between people who share space without quite connecting.

Much of my work has been shaped by my own experience of moving to Melbourne from Indonesia at seventeen, that particular state of being surrounded by life but watching it through glass. My series alone/together grew from this without a plan: images where a recurring feeling kept surfacing. One person small against a big city. Groups of people, close but not touching. You're always around people, but not really with them. I've come to realise that when I'm out with a camera, I'm living inside that feeling too, part of the crowd but separate from it. The act of photographing is itself a way of being close to people while remaining at a distance.

I'm an engineer at Milanote, a creative tool used by artists and designers worldwide, and share my photographic process on YouTube through projects like One Week, One Street, One Video.

My work has been exhibited at Kindred Cameras (Lost & Found, July 2025; Afterglow, July 2026), the Museum of Australian Photography (LOOK!, October 2025), and the Victorian Archives Centre as part of Rehearsing the City during Melbourne Design Week (May 2026).
