Ada sebuah artikel berbahasa inggris yang sangat menarik, akan saya share artikel ini saya kitip dari website Boredpanda click.
Herman Damar, a self-taught photographer in Indonesia, has
captured beautiful moments from the everyday lives of villagers living outside
of Jakarta, the nation’s capital. His photographs, especially of happy children
at play, paint a picture of the idyllic wonder and natural beauty of Indonesian
village life. This advertisement director-turned-hobbyist photographer agreed
to answer some of Bored Panda’s questions about his work.
Damar’s photography, which he shoots with a Canon 550D, is beautiful for its intimate and colorful
portrayal of village life, but arguably the most heartwarming photos are of
village children at play. Their rafts, water guns and spears show that they
have no lack of imagination or of things to do.
To find out more about his work, check out the interview he
gave to Bored Panda below!
“Indonesian people are very diverse and humble, they are
very happy when I take a shoot“ Damar told Bored Panda
“The best thing is, I can be in direct contact with them,
their happiness and their lives, and I am very happy to capture in my camera”
These images were taken in villages “on the outskirts of
Jakarta, unspoiled [by] technological advances”
“Indonesia is very rich in culture and have a thousands of
beautiful islands, Indonesian people are very friendly.”
Damar said that the best way to capture photos like his was
to spend more time among the people “to better understand their culture and
their character, and the best time is in the morning between the 7-9 am”
Most of Damar’s photos “are captured spontaneously, but
sometimes I help to direct [their] poses”
We’d like to thank Herman Damar for giving Bored Panda an
interview and letting us use his photos. We wish him the best of luck!
