He is a well-known international photography speaker and one of the most respectable and dedicated photography mentors in Asia with his own company, Mahacaraka—The Art of Travel, offering workshops or photography tours to various parts of the world.

In the process of his work, Sandy believes that the essence of photography is creating state-of-the-art results with the utmost appreciation of an art, genuine creativity, and capturing the soul of a scene or emotion and sincerely speaking through it. Those are the fundamentals of quality that he wants to keep in his work.
