Frequently Asked Questions

Who is Herman Damar?

Herman Damar is a self-taught photographer from Indonesia who previously worked as an advertising director. He became known for his warm, intimate photographs of everyday life in villages on the outskirts of Jakarta, especially his images of children at play. He shoots with a Canon 550D and has been featured by Bored Panda, PetaPixel, and other photography publications.

What is the best time of day to shoot village life photos?

Damar himself has said the best time is in the morning between 7 and 9 am, when the light is soft and village life is most active. Morning light streaming through trees is a big part of the warm, idyllic look in his series. He also spends real time among the villagers first, so his subjects are relaxed when he shoots.

How do you photograph people in villages respectfully?

Spend time in the community before raising your camera, learn a little about local customs, and always ask permission before photographing people or private spaces. Damar's approach — being in direct contact with villagers and letting them get comfortable — is why his subjects look natural rather than guarded. Most of his shots are spontaneous, though he sometimes gently directs poses.

What camera gear do you need for documentary photography?

Less than you think. Damar shot this celebrated series on a Canon 550D, an entry-level DSLR, which proves the eye matters more than the gear. Documentary photographers generally recommend traveling light — one camera and a versatile lens — so you stay mobile and unobtrusive. A wide-aperture prime lens is a popular choice for natural light and low-light portraits.
