BALI IN FRAME
CELEBRATING OUR 19TH ANNIVERSARY, WE INVITED THREE INDONESIAN PHOTO
ENTHUSIASTS TO SHARE THEIR VIEWS ON THE ISLAND. THIS IS BALI IN THE EYES OF
THESE YOUNG AND TALENTED PHOTO CONNOISSEURS.

Michael Tri Wijaya is a hotelier with
a big interest in photography. Born and
raised in Bali, Michael who is also a travel
and food enthusiast has a deep knowledge
of Balis little gems and loves to capture
lifestyle resorts and their architecture.
Follow his journey on Instagram,
@michael3wijaya.

Praditya Nova started his journey in
the digital photography world in 2005.
His work is pretty diverse, ranging
from human interest to landscape
and stage photography. In this photo
collection, he shares how Bali preserves
its cultural roots and social norms for
generations. For photographers, Bali
offers unlimited exploration and every
object on the island is so magical to
capture, he stated. Find @pradityanova
on Instagram and check out his personal
website at www.ditya.deviantart.com.

Reza Fitriyanto is a travel and photography enthusiast.
The tradition of Balinese Silent Day and all its ritual prior
to the day captures his eyes which he shares with us all in
this photo collection. Silent Day is really unique as there
are no activities for the whole day on the island, and it
only happens in Bali, he stated. Thats why Silent Day
and the ceremonies before the D-day is really fascinating
to capture. Log on to www.rezatriyanto.com to see more
of his work.
