At first I only lightly dabbled in photography, until a friend hired me to photograph her wedding—after that I was hooked! Now, ten years later, I have so many wonderful experiences under my belt. Weddings, actor headshots, family photos, real estate—I enjoy doing it all.

I also have years of experience with 3d modeling which has allowed me to branch out to virtual staging of real estate photos, and even some surreal fashion edits.

I look forward to seeing what lies further down the road for me!

Born and raised in Indonesia, Hanif has always had a passion for art, photography and cinematography. He attended school in his hometown of Bandung and continued his education at Bandung Institute of Tourism where he earned a degree in hotel management. In the tourism industry he was able to grow and see the world by accepting internships in Malaysia and the Netherlands. Upon returning to Indonesia he worked as a talent coordinator at a national TV network.

Though he enjoyed his job, he could not truly express his creativity in the field of art or as an individual because of the many challenges living as a closeted gay male in a predominantly Muslim country. His quest for artistic and personal freedom brought him back to the hotel industry where he was accepted to a position in Baltimore, Md. working for the Marriott chain of hotels.

Coming to America gave Hanif a second chance to pursue his passion for art and photography. He continued his education in Washington DC where he enrolled at The Graduate School of USA majoring in Photography. He later relocated to Harrisburg where he completed photography lessons at Harrisburg Area Community College. He is graduated at the New York Institute of Photography 2013.

Hanifs goal is to create a work of art using the camera as his brush, palette and canvas to produce prints that can be described as weird, whimsical, beautiful, rustic, crazy, funny, unusual, avant-garde, and sometimes just simple. His style is very unique as he strives to capture a different world through his lens.

Together with his best friend, Michael Rios, and Robert Nasuti, they formed Pixl Motion, a photography and videography business that launched in 2011. The team has had much success in capturing weddings, family portraits, birthday parties and special events. and Pixl Motion keep growing since then.

The backbone of Pixl Motion, Robert knows how to get things done! As manager, Robert handles event bookings, contracts, timeline logistics, and even helps out as a 3rd photographer when needed for bigger events. If you need something done right, Robert’s your guy!
