This journey offers a rare opportunity to spend time in the Papua Highlands alongside photographer Rarindra Prakarsa, engaging with communities he has worked with over many years. The focus of the trip is slow, respectful immersion — observing daily life, participating in arranged cultural gatherings, and photographing people within the context of their own environment and traditions.

Traveling through the highlands around Wamena, participants will visit several villages and take part in a series of carefully coordinated portrait sessions and cultural encounters. The emphasis is on presence rather than performance, allowing space for meaningful interaction and considered photography.

This experience is designed for photographers who value cultural sensitivity, patience, and depth over spectacle, and who are interested in learning from Rarindra’s long-term approach to photographing people and place.
