Hengki Koentjoro
Hengki Koentjoro is an accomplished photographer specializing in capturing the spectral domain that lies amidst the shades of black and white. Born in Semarang, Central Java, Indonesia, on March 24th, 1963, he pursued further education in Brooks Institute of Photography in Santa Barbara, California—an expedition that plunged him into the professional arena of video production and fine art photography.
Childhood introduction to a camera on his 11th birthday is by now an earnest love affair that involves an elaborate choreography of composition, texture, shapes, and lines.
Displacement
These photographs illustrate the well-being of coastal life affected by the raising of the sea level. They are an all-too-common sad sight on the northern coast of Java Island, Indonesia. The life and the dead are displaced.
