Meet Muhammad Diarsyah | Automotive Photographer and Server

We had the good fortune of connecting with Muhammad Diarsyah and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Muhammad, how has your work-life balance changed over time?
Time is always ticking. It’s pretty hard to
“ find “ time. So i decided to “ make “ time. I work in a restaurant industry. Mostly on the night shift. So when i have time to go shoot or collab with some likeminded people. I’m always down for it. The balance is all in perspective. When we look at the materialistic things, you will get bored and miserable. But when you do for the love and passion. The sky is only the limit. Thank you in advance

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
My art mostly consists of automotive, portraits, some of them are outlaw too. I feel like people who have similar passion with us needs more recognition. And I beyond grateful to share my works in my instagram page mostly, I learn it everyday and would love to explore my talent with others. Everyday is learning day. What i say about outlaw is that we as a car or motorcycle enthusiasts always have issues with law. And this is our passion so we will die for it. You can see some of my reels video too about my life journey. It’s all consists about love, heartbreak, hope and desire to be free. I dont think any obstacle will stop me for doing what i love. What’s more important is im doing my art for myself and audience comes second. But thank you for the opportunity to share some of my thoughts about this. Art is what you can get away with. It’s a beautiful escape

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
I would take them to belt line area for introduction. Then i will take them to helen Georgia to connect with nature and hike all the way to brasseltown and blood mountain. The next day i will take them to stonemountain georgia, i love nature and I believe we will have a great connection there than we ever found in phone especially in this everything digital era. To drink and hangout there’s a lot of place of course in atlanta. My favorite spot would be spaceman, and nam kitchen sandy springs. The ambience is amazing.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
I would love to dedicate it for my cousin who live in Chicago. He is the one who inspired me for doing photography. Im still far away for where I wanted to be. Everyday is a learning day. I met a lot of cool people along the journeys. It’s the most important thing in life to be yourself and be genuine to others so the art will come out honest and pure. Not copycat to anyone
