An underwater photographer, divemaster, and founder of @gorontalo.dive and@meraki.dive with a strong focus on marine biodiversity and ocean conservation. Over the past several years, I have worked across diverse marine regions in Indonesia, documenting underwater life, leading dive trips, and fostering deeper connections between people and the ocean. My work blends visual storytelling with a conservation-centered approach. Through photography, I aim to raise awareness and inspire a more empathetic relationship with the natural world. I believe that powerful imagery can shift perspectives, especially when it reveals the intricate and often fragile balance of underwater ecosystems. Spending most of my time in the ocean has taught me that biodiversity is notjust a scientific concept, it’s a dynamic, interdependent reality that affects allaspects of life. My practice is rooted in a deep respect for the sea, a commitment to education, and a desire to support more inclusive and mindful conservation efforts.
