Barack Obama. Really, I would never have thought his name would be having special meaning in my life. Many people would say that I look alike him. My everyday has become significantly colorful ever since. Who knew? Just me.. the Photographer.
Being "Obama" is an absolute gift that needs to be cherish. For me it’s only just the beginning, just like an episode in a journey to experiencing the world. Nevertheless, I realized that I don’t want to be trapped only in his famous figure for the rest of my life.
1974 is the year I was born. The name of Ilham Anas was given after Arabic, Ilham means ”revelation"and Anas means ”intimate or tender-hearted.” Both of my parents are Minangs, Pariaman to be exact.
Nowadays, most of all my daily activities are in Jakarta. As I am a professional Obama Impersonator and Photo Journalist. Both of the professions surely have been giving me pleasure in and out. Moreover, serving the best for humanity would be the most important thing for me. (Ilham Anas)
