Hello
everyone, today I will be talking about a photographer that I interviewed.
Her
full name is Nurulita Adriani Rahayu, she has taken interest in photography
since high school, grade 10. She does not have a formal education, but she has
come to Seminars and Workshops. She became a photographer because it was her
passion. She was born at Bandung on 6th February 1976 with 5
siblings.
Her
story about being a photographer is at ITB College, she realized that she did
not want to be an office worker, after college, she just studied photography
from the start, her teacher was Mr. Terry Adrianto.(The person on the left is Nurulita)
The
photo that she is most proud of is her photo of a Brazilian soccer player, she
took it about 5 years ago. Her role model is Cak Nun / Emha Ainun Nadjib,
Indonesian Poet, Essayist and Islamic Scholar.
She
educates herself to take better pictures by seeing the beauty of God’s
creations in each picture she takes. The job opportunities that has given her
the best experiences are when she took photographs of a national basketball
team, taking photos of a group of 11 people in 1 hour and photos of people in
action (single shot).
She
thinks that the camera is just a tool, every object has a different lighting
setup, and it depends on their character. She usually uses medium format camera
equipment for ads and SCR for editorial. She recently went to the Maldives for
editorial shoots. Her favorite camera brand is Nixon.
She
is currently making a big project called #111selflove, she invites women to see
the beauty of God’s creations inside themselves. Her goal is to make every
women feel good about themselves, that God creates them beautiful. Nurulita
states, “Amongst all God’s loved and beautiful creations, we are one of them!
True as this may be, we often find it difficult to find this within ourselves
and appreciate our own natural beauty. It’s time to open our eyes and begin to
see ourselves for what we truly are. To recognize ourselves as magnificent
creations of the Divine Creator.”
That is all about the photographer Nurulita, Thanks for viewing guys, cya!
