The golf course area and the plenty
of fascinating moments that
happen during a tournament ,
surely give the photographers a
good option as their ‘scene field’
to capture the motions and shape them in a
form of art photography.
Many times the photography exclusive works
come from the moments that happen at
a golf course, and used for print media or
website which specialized in golf. Therefore ,
the golf course can be said as the prosperous
source of income for the sport photographers
these days.
But it is an exceptional issue for An-An S. Arto.
For this Bandung-born 57 year-old, his works do not have to give him a financial satisfaction. Even though his works
are categorized as the good photography works as been recognized
by ESPN sport tv when they interviewed him as a professional sport
photographer, some time ago.
To An-An S Arto, it is just a different name about his hobby and
activity as a golf event activist in Indonesia. This husband of Sri
Suwardhani considers any activities he does at the golf course is part
of his responsibility and dedication to the development of national golf,
which means whether he is working as a photographer or a Tournament
Director, he is doing it wholeheartedly.
It is an ordinary view to spot this man whose full name is Erlangga
Tribuana S. Arto makes a round on a duty or just observes the tournament
at the course , he has never let his hands empty of his camera . Besides,
he specializes his hobby as an outdoor sport photographer, especially
golf and softball/baseball.
We rarely see tiredness on his humorous face
while carrying his favorite Canon EOS 1D Mk.
III around the course to capture some objects.
For The Flag, An-An’s contribution in the
photography is very valuable. His best works have
been displayed often on the premium pages in
The Flag, especially at the events organized by
Kariza as the publisher of The Flag.
His collaborated passion for photography
and golf is illustrated through his shots that
filled with stories of the event.
There are still many of his pictures that have
not been published by The Flag , taken from
Kariza’s tournaments which he deliberately
involved such as RP Invitational 2009, Kariza
Indonesia Championship dan Kariza Classic.
Some of the works are displayed here in
Gallery of An-An S. Arto.
