Rifkianto Nugroho was born in Bekasi on 28 February 1996. He started his career as a photojournalist in 2018, at the online media Detikcom. His parents, who have been subscribing to dailies since he was young, and often took him to watch football matches at the stadium made him interested to focus on photojournalism. When he was in college, Rifki joined the Students’ Activity Center (UKM) Zepret Photography Club at Stikom Interstudi in 2015-2018, and Panorama (the Jakarta Students Photo Association). He started to learn about photojournalism by attending regular workshops at the Galeri Foto Jurnalistik Antara on its 23rd Batch between 2017-2018. Rifki is now more active in covering different issues, including metropolitan, sports, automotive and natural disasters.
