My name is Muhammad Aristianto, although my friends call me Tian or Badakkekar quite often. I am from a small village named Bawang which is located in Central Java, Indonesia.
Bawang is one of the most remote villages in Central Java – considered to be the heart of the Javanese culture. Borobudur, the 9th-century world’s largest Buddhist temple is located in Central Java for instance.
I guess that the landscapes that have surrounded me since my childhood have had a significant influence in my interests. For me, climbing the mountain range and the Gunung Prau is part of my daily life. So, I guess it’s quite normal that I love nature? As a result, in 2014 I made my longest trip. I visited Bromo Tengger Semeru National Park, a place I want to visit again soon and which has inspired me to keep traveling!
Yet, it was not until 2016 when I started to upload photos to social media. So, I discovered photography not that long ago. Actually, if I began to take photographs it was because of all the amazing photos that all of you guys shared on Instagram. In addition, being surrounded by such a unique landscape inspired me to grab a camera and start documenting my trips.
When traveling, I love finding obstacles since they represent puzzles to me. If I am able to solve them, I feel energized – specially if afterwards I can capture that photo I was looking for.
Getting back home with that one image and being able to express what I felt at that particular moment with a broader community seems almost magical to me. I hope I can keep sharing my thoughts, ideas and emotions through my edits and photographs for many more years to come!
