UNDERWATER PHOTOGRAPHY 

BUHO BUHO, MOROTAI, INDONESIA

Romi is an earnest and energetic teenager from Buho Buho, an ancestral fishing village on Morotai Island in Indonesia. Romi leapt into photography having never used a camera before and soon, exchanged his point-and-shoot for a GoPro. Romi started documenting the daily activities in the marine social-ecological system he calls home. From kids surfing on wooden planks to fisherfolk of all ages, genders, and size catching their prey, Romi used his camera as a tool to explore his surroundings more deeply and from an aquatic perspective.
