Suratman Larakuti

As one of the well-known photographers in Makassar, I am known for my photographic work that combines the essence of documentation as well as the aesthetics and narrative of travel. In terms of experience, I have worked in various disciplines in the practice of photography until finally peddling my identity in the style of work I have now.


My passion for travel photography was an accident. During my training in various types of photography, I was initially interested in photojournalism. However, the high pressure in the journalistic profession does not suit my work style.

My approach to travel photography grew from an understanding that this type of photography does not have to be tied to overly grandiose travel activities. For me, travel photography lies in emphasizing whatever is photographed while traveling, not whether it is close or far away.
