السَّلاَمُ عَلَيْكُمْ وَرَحْمَةُ اللهِ وَبَرَكَاتُهُ

بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيم

My name is Asyifa Rizki Aprilia Harahap.

As a brief overview about me that I wrote on my Linkedin, I would describe my self with:

“I am deeply passionate in marketing, management, and of course — photography and videography. I am very profound and has various experiences in both photography and videography, whether for personal or professional matters. I have various experiences in marketing, management, photography and videography, whether for personal or professional matters. I am willing to work hard and give you my best.”

Well, but that’s not the point of this post.

On July 2019, I built Asyifa Photography Enterprise, started as a hobby and now I’m clearly going deeper, insya Allah.

Asyifa Photography Enterprise has strong whys, and dreaming big towards the better future of Indonesia’s photography and videography industry.

However, Asyifa Photography Enterprise is also very personal to me. Let’s talk about it later, step by step.

I’ve always had struggles in life. Not that I’m saying that others don’t though — — Somehow, I feel like my stories that come up from my experiences (and also my ideas) might help people out there.

Though I so terribly often feel insecure about my “too extrovert trait”, or how people think about me, or.. anything else, really — I think I finally am brave enough and ready to channel my “too-much-energy” to help myself, and also to help everyone else.

I’ve always loved to share my opinions to other people. And deep down, I know that I am capable of creating big impacts to everyone. So, help me, okay?​

The title is “NOT THE END”. It’s because lately something’s not right about me. Took me a while to finally scientifically find out the reasons why. I don’t wanna go deeper about it here, in this post — yet. But things are not easy to accept and all of those things are the reason why I started this webpage.

I promise you that everything here — will be very honest — intended purely just to pour my emotions into writings and visuals. This page is all about me, my struggles, my ideas — my journey.

Though I may not be blunt here, I hope each of you gets the point of this post.

Anyway, I am currently on an aircraft — currently boarding to Jakarta from Yogyakarta. So this is just a quick writing and I’m sorry it there are mistakes in it. Cus I can’t wait to post this right away.
