Before becoming a photographer, Resza Sebastian had a full-time desk job for seven years. "Back then, photography was just a weekend hobby for me. Meanwhile, I was starting to feel like a robot after years of working nine to five every day," reminisced Resza. In December 2014, he established Jiwa Photography with a goal of becoming a catcher of moments, a witness of people's history, and a skillful storyteller. "Jiwa means an immortal essence or soul in Sanskrit, reflecting the hope that my company can give life to other people," said Resza.
For Resza, focusing on wedding photography was a natural decision. "People get married every day, and the industry itself is based on such a strong community. Wedding vendors constantly support each other to create beautiful art," he explained. This sense of camaraderie also extends to every client who has worked with Resza. "I try to maintain contact with all my ex-clients after every project. Most of them have become my friends now," he said.
As someone who has a natural approach to photography, Resza isn't much affected by wedding trends. "Trends are like spinning wheels. They keep on turning and will come back again eventually. I'd rather stick to my signature style, maybe with a little twist inspired by the latest trends to result in timeless wedding photos," he said.
