About Me...

Welcome to my photography blog! I am a professional wedding and lifestyle portrait photographer.

Photography is so much more than just pictures. It’s about capturing those special moments in life and reserving a space in time, forever. I’ve spent most of my life working with clients who trust me to document those special moments.

I’m a storyteller, but instead of writing your story, I do it with my camera together with my creativity and my passion for those important moments in each client’s life.

My specialty is wedding and portrait photography, capturing memories to last a life time. Every wedding and client is unique and it’s my job to help each one tell their story.

I’m Yusuf Gunawan, a professional photographer, storyteller with a lifelong passion for the human spirit. I look forward to working with you and capturing those moments in your life that become your most important memories.

1st PhotoWalk with New York Indonesian Photographer | Central Park, NYC

Back in the middle October 2011, I had a chance to teach a basic photography lesson together with Kusuma Wijaya to the New York Indonesian Photographer (NYIP) members at Central Park, New York City. We had a blast of fun shooting anything around the park afterward.

There were 20 people came to the meeting. Most of them live in New York, only couple of them from Philadelphia and New Jersey area, which is me :).

This community of photographer was built in the base of sharing photography knowledge, and bring closer the Indonesian community who live in New York. They also offer FREE basic to intermediate photography lessons to anyone who want to learn, even their priority is for Indonesian community in New York, that include basic studio lighting and give special assignments to their members each meeting time.
