Currently Not Available For Hire
During my journalistic career that spans more than a decade, I’ve done numerous assignments for both national and international news outlets in the forms of print/online and multimedia (videos and photos). I have reported from across Indonesia and four countries. I am available for breaking news, field reporting, conducting research and investigation, and producing news/feature/short documentary package on short notice.
Rates may vary but I’m always open for negotiation.
I have completed HEFAT and have my own equipment: Sony α7III+Tamron 28-75mm lens, GoPro Hero 10, Mavic Air 2s drone, Rode Video MicPro, Zoom H5 field recorder, Saramonic wireless mics, travel tripod, editing software (Premiere Pro, Lightroom), etc.
