Farid Renais Ghimas is an Indonesian photographer based in London.
His photographic practice is a constant process of revisiting the joy of home. His project, Angan-Angan Harsa, is an energetic exploration of joy set in the environmental settings of his birthplace, Bengkulu, a province on the southwest coast of Sumatera Island.
Having his family and people in the community as the main protagonists of the visual essay, Farid aims to indulge conversations of personal identities and everyday life by reflecting on the time, place, and people that are part of him.
Farid’s images are imbued with calm and warm colour tones, often set in the late afternoon with the sun low in the sky. He thinks of his colour approach as an interconnection with the image — a visual feeling that triggers a memory of a visceral emotion from growing up in Indonesia.
