I’m Ardiles Rante, an award-winning photojournalist and filmmaker based in Jakarta, Indonesia. I’ve worked in the media industry since the late 1990s—starting as a staff photojournalist for a national newspaper—covering major events including the fall of Soeharto in 1998, the 2004 Aceh tsunami, the Bali bombing, and many international stories and assignments. Along the way, I’ve also produced multimedia features, including the widely covered short profile “Ardi Rizal,” a two-year-old smoker from South Sumatra whose story reached international headlines. Over the last 5 years, I’ve focused strongly on educational documentaries connected to human rights, history, and ecology. In parallel, I’ve contributed to environmental and human-rights work since 2006 through shooting and producing for NGO and humanitarian organizations. When I’m not on editorial or aid agency assignments, I enjoy socially volunteering, making documentary projects, and engaging in creative work like musical recording and audio production—always with a storyteller’s approach and a commitment to meaningful impact.…I’m Ardiles Rante, an award-winning photojournalist and filmmaker based in Jakarta, Indonesia.
