Anton Ismael or more familiarly known as Pa'e, is no stranger to his identity as a photographer. Many people consider him to have a unique perspective and how he curates works that are created that no one else thinks of.

Finding inspiration from books is one of the ways for Pa’e to develop his ideas and works. Books such as ‘LO TEK DESIGN BY RADICAL INDIGENISM’ & ‘PETER LINDBERGH ON FASHION PHOTOGRAPHY’. Other than that, ‘ANDRE BUTZER’ gives a childhood nostalgia on how raw an idea portrays through a work of art. Lastly, Pa’e also known with his restourant “ Warung Foto Kopi” & “Babi Tong”, hence, he choose F Magazine issue 3 ‘Chicken’ to understand how chicken developed as a dish from the entire world.
