Govinda Rumi is a wedding and portrait photographer based in Bali. Known for his candid style, he focuses on capturing the personality of his subjects and creating a dreamy world with his images.

As an avid traveler, Govinda has the ability to take inspiration from many other artforms, photographers, and locations.

We were lucky enough to sit down with him for our Pic-Time Stories series and chat about how he approaches his work. This series allows us to dive deeper with some amazing photographers and get a peek behind the scenes.

““I try to adapt to the people I photograph and not the other way around, in a way I collaborate with them””
