In this close-up portrait, Indonesian actress and model Fahrani is captured. The image offers a personal insight into Fahrani's identity, seamlessly combining the subtleties of her Dayak heritage with a touch of untamed modern elegance.

Stephan Kotas, originally from Prague, Czech Republic, has made Indonesia his home for nearly two decades. After a sucessful career in fashion and commercial photography he chose to step back from modern digital medium and make a shift towards the root of his craft.

He decided to bring wet plate photography process back to Indonesia. This half forgotten historical technique comes from 19th century and hasn’t been practiced here since.
