In this episode, I have the great pleasure to speak with the very talented Yulius Santoso who was born and raised in Surabaya, Indonesia. He has previously lived and worked in Japan, China, Malaysia, and Singapore. He is currently based in Sydney, Australia. Yulius runs a consulting business and also teaches at The University of New South Wales.
Like many photographers, Yulius initially took up photography with his iPhone. It was the desire to capture the essence of daily life and to deliver photo of the day images - one photo each day, without fail. Yulius is inspired by street photography greats such as Henri Cartier-Bresson and the desire of capturing a decisive moment.
Yulius is the Founder of the Sydney Charity Photowalk, a grassroots movement for the local community of photographers to come together and raise funds for worthwhile causes. In 2023, the group raised just over $6500 for The Sydney Children's Hospital. Approximately 150 photographers attended, and the next photo walk is scheduled for Feb. 2024.
He is also the Founder of The Edit Challenge, a group of photographers from around the world that work together to improve their editing skills. To see Yulius' work, please visit his Instagram account at...
