Ade Ardhana

(1994)

ADE ARDHANA (b. 1994) is an Indonesian-born photographer based in Bali, specializing in still-life photography, particularly product and food imagery. Known for his meticulous attention to detail and refined sense of composition, he masterfully orchestrates light, texture, and form to transform everyday objects into evocative visual narratives. Since developing an interest in still-life photography in 2015 during his college years, Ade has explored the genre as a contemplative practice—one that reflects on perception, subjectivity, and the layered meanings embedded in ordinary things. For him, still life reveals how individuals can encounter the same object yet interpret it through distinct perspectives. One of his notable achievements is his solo still-life exhibition, BUAH MEMORI, held at Uma Seminyak, Bali, in 2022.
