Episode Details

Do you crave to see the world anew, with a fresh, vibrant perspective that only a seasoned photographer can offer? Join me for a conversation with the immensely talented Giovanna Aryafara, whose story unfolds from an unassuming black and white photography studio in New Zealand to an inspiring home living decor brand in sunny Bali. We walk through Giovanna's creative labyrinth, explore her artistry, delve into her perspective on AI technology's impact on photography, and discover the symbiotic relationship between her photography and interior design.

Our conversation takes a detour across the globe to the heart of East Africa, where Giovanna shares her many experiences with the people of Ethiopia and Kenya. Through her lens, we gain an insight into their struggles, their heritage, and the imminent threat to their existence. Giovanna’s journey is not merely about capturing beautiful images but about preserving these transient moments and cultures for posterity. 

Will she collaborate with other passionate photographers? What's the story behind her upcoming book? What awaits visitors at her Bali photography gallery? All these questions and more are answered as Giovanna invites us all to see the world through her eyes. I hope this fascinating conversation can inspire and stir the curiosity within you.
