Bye Bye Plastic Bags in Credit Suisse Bulletin
Last year in September, Bulletin (a magazine by Credit Suisse) assigned me to travel to Bali in order to photograph the two sisters behind Bye Bye Plastic Bags: Melati Wijsen and Isabel Wijsen. The two sisters are known for their efforts to reduce plastic consumption in Bali. Here’s the opening spread from the feature as published in the January 2020 issue of the magazine.
Zong Qinghou's Portrait for Forbes Asia November 2019
I had the pleasure of making the portrait of Zong Qinghou, the Chairman and CEO of Wahaha, as part of Forbes Asia China's Richest 2019 coverage. A series of portraits were taken during Forbes Global CEO Conference in Singapore last October. So happy that one of the image made it way into the cover.
Zong, who was China’s richest man in 2010, 2012 and 2013, saw Wahaha’s sales slide from 78 billion yuan ($11 billion) in 2013 to 46 billion yuan in 2017 before rebounding slightly to 47 billion yuan last year. His ownership of the company still gives him a fortune of $8.2 billion, but he is no longer No. 1, ranking instead as China’s 31st richest person. He currently aims to revitalize Wahaha.
The Banda Journal in One World November 2019
Some images from The Banda Journal is published in November 2019 issue of One World. Really happy that images from Banda Eli also included in the final publications in the magazine. Banda Eli is a small village at the eastern side of Kei Besar island. This is where the descendants of the original Bandanese who escaped Dutch atrocities in 1621 still live until these days.
Meanwhile, a dedicated book for this project, designed by Jordan Marzuki, is currently at the finishing stage. If all is going well, it will be published by the first quater of 2020. Can’t wait!
