In his leisure time, Faiz often retraces the roads and paths he has taken, revisiting familiar places to explore new perspectives. This practice serves as a therapeutic experience, training his mind to uncover fresh angles and create spontaneous videos from his walks. For inspiration, he enjoys trekking in the calming nature of Bandung, especially after a refreshing rain shower.

LEONARDUS ADITYA

With this belief, he always tries to put a positive mindset and attitude to radiate that inner positivity to people and things around him.

For him, a good picture is the one that reflects the personality of the people in it. And to get that result is to ensure that the couple is comfortable being around the crew and their lenses and, most importantly, being in their skin as their true selves.

MIKHAEL ANDARIAS

That's why, he usually lets the couples have their time together and enjoy the session without interfering too much. Capturing the 'in-between moment' where he sees the most genuine connection of two souls.

ROBERTUS DARU

#BareOddsDaru

Daru is an empath. He absorbs energies around him, all the good and the bad. He hones in on the emotions of people around him. He listens more carefully, feels more deeply, and looks more intensely than those around him. He can read even the most hidden things in someone’s gesture through movements, tone of voice, or choice of words. This particular feature of Daru helps him grasp every mood and feeling of the couples and amplify them in his work.
 
Daru always keeps his cool. He has a calm and reserved soul. His relaxed nature helps him keep thinking clearly so he can tackle most of the unpredictable challenges that come up during every session with no fuss. His heedful trait helps him to be able to capture memorable moments and turn them into something for the couple to bring home and cherish every time they look at it.

TRI WIRA PUTRA

#BareOddsWira

Wira cannot separate music from his day. He enjoys how this form of art possesses its own soul, connected yet separate from its creator. This principle also applies to photography, where each moment and visual object carries a unique character, yet the final work is significantly influenced by the photographer. That’s how he believes that his presence as the creator can breathe life into the process, capturing special moments in captivating ways.

Often, Wira finds himself contemplating during solitary moments or amidst crowds when not interacting with others. He experiments with visual imagination in these contrasting situations, reflecting on the emotions that surface, the standout colors, and even the visual motions. These habits train him to perceive things differently, enabling him to discover diverse combinations that create something beautiful from your interactions with loved ones.
