About Artist

Asep Setiawan

I am an Indonesian fine art landscape photographer originally from Jakarta, Indonesia, and currently based in the United States. My photography is inspired by quiet landscapes, soft light, mist, sand dunes, and the emotional beauty found in nature. Through calm, cinematic, and sometimes monochrome images, I aim to create photographs that feel timeless and invite viewers to slow down and connect with the atmosphere of a place. My journey from Indonesia to the United States has shaped the way I see culture, nature, and the feeling of belonging. As the photographer behind ShootwithAwan, I continue to develop a personal style that combines travel, storytelling, and fine art. My goal is to create meaningful photographs that can be experienced not only as images of beautiful places, but also as reflections of memory, emotion, and human connection.
