Nugroho Wahyu is All About Simplicity

Welcome to Hero of the Week, an ongoing series sharing stories from some of the best photographers in the Pexels community.

This week we're featuring the perfectly minimal photography of Nugroho Wahyu. Currently a student at Soedirman University in Indonesia, Nugroho has been studying photography for the past few years. He shoots with a Sony A7r ii.

Nugroho's favorite photo genres are portraits, fine art, and landscapes — fashion and conceptual photography are especially interesting to him. He cites Indonesian fashion photographer Andre Wiredja as a key inspiration behind his work.

This photo is a favorite of Nugroho's because he likes the simplicity and the sunlight of the golden hour shot. While he now views photography mainly as a hobby, we can definitely see Nugroho continuing to snap beautifully simple shots as a future career.
