Photographer and director based in Jakarta and Bali who specializes in fashion and beauty.
Her approach is one of a kind; eccentric, and characterized by a keen eye, which results in striking imagery that is abundant in narrative complexities.
As a multi-disciplinary artist, her investigation of bodies, diversity, equilibrium, as well as the challenges that surround identity, are subjects that are very important to her heart.
Within the realm of aesthetically compelling photo-based designs, Ikmal possesses a remarkable talent for interpreting the objectives of the client and conveying narratives.

Mandala
Shot in Bali, this personal series is an escape from the love-hate relationship with the industrialized cookie-cutter approach of the business world.
Visually, the images depict the journey of creation of birth, life & death. It touches on profoundly abstract ideas as the human spirit, mind, essence, and soul. Water, air, ground, green and fire serve as the landscape for the series. Each element contributes to the fashion discussion by incorporating textures, colors, and styling into the conversation.
In a hypothesis, all the elements is interdependent and maintains a steady equilibrium; yet, if one part is disturbed, then chaos reigns.
