Hi, I’m Tomi — a Bali-based portrait and lifestyle photographer with over a decade of experience capturing honest, cinematic moments through natural light.
I began this journey more than 10 years ago, drawn by a simple curiosity about light and human emotion. Since then, my work has grown into a blend of visual storytelling that feels both timeless and grounded. Whether it’s a quiet sunset on the shore or a fleeting expression between strangers, I aim to create photographs that don’t just look good — they feel real.
Throughout the years, I’ve been fortunate to have my work recognized as a finalist in the EyeEm Awards (Photojournalism), featured as Editor's Choice on 500px, and selected as Inspirational on YouPic. These milestones remind me that storytelling, when done honestly, always finds its audience.
I collaborate with both professional models and everyday people across Bali’s vibrant and diverse backdrops — from beaches and streets to villas and still moments in between. My goal is simple: to tell stories that linger.
