As a former colonized and newly democratic nation, Indonesia has a unique place in the history of photography. A History of Photography in Indonesia: From the Colonial Era to the Digital Age looks at the development of photography from the beginning and traces its uses in Indonesia from its invention to the present day. The Dutch government first brought the medium to the East Indies in the 1840s, and immediately recognized its potential in serving the colonial apparatus. As the country grew and changed, so too did the medium. Photography was not only an essential tool of colonialism, but it also became part of the movement for independence, a voice for “reformasi”, an agent in advocating for democracy, and is now available to anyone with a phone. This book gathers essays by leading artists, scholars, and curators from around the world who have worked with photography in Indonesia and traced the evolution of the medium from its inception to the present day, addressing the impact of photography on colonialism, independence, and democratization.

WINGS OVER WESTERN AUSTRALIA by Benedictus Pranata is a striking visual journey into the rich avian life and landscapes of Western Australia. Captured over three years of immersive exploration, this photobook offers an intimate look at the region’s pristine coastal plains, wetlands, and woodlands—an unspoiled paradise for birdwatchers and nature lovers alike.

A seasoned photographer with decades of experience, Pranata found himself unexpectedly grounded in Perth due to the global pandemic. What began as an extended stay soon evolved into a profound creative pursuit as he discovered the extraordinary diversity of Western Australia’s birdlife. From the elegant black swan gliding across tranquil lakes to the dramatic plunge of an osprey into the Indian Ocean, each image in this book is a testament to patience, passion, and the quiet magic of the natural world.

More than just a collection of photographs, WINGS OVER WESTERN AUSTRALIA is an invitation to appreciate the beauty of birds in their natural habitat—an homage to the delicate yet resilient ecosystems that sustain them. Through Pranata’s lens, readers are transported to a realm where time slows and nature’s wonders unfold in every frame.

Many published works have been written about painting, sculpture, music, and dance in Bali, but surprisingly, little has been written about the history of photography on the fabled island.

BALI Photography 1865—1939 provides the first survey of photography on Bali from the arrival of pioneering photographer Isidore van Kinsbergen as part of a government mission in December 1865, when Bali was almost completely unknown to the outside world, through to the first golden age of tourism on Bali in the 1930s that ended with the outbreak of World War Two.

Photo historian Scott Merrillees draws upon his extensive archive of early photographs, postcards, books, tourist guides, and travel brochures collected over more than thirty years to examine the development of photography on Bali in pre-independence Indonesia and the influences that shaped how Bali was photographed and how it was presented to the world.
