Ronny Susanto, The Faces of Timor-Leste (People and Portrait 2017)

I captured these photos during my recent visit to Timor-Leste, in July 2017. This year, Timor-Leste celebrates the 15th anniversary of the Restoration of Independence. I am truly humbled by the warmth, friendliness and courage of the East Timorese. The people in these photographs are the real faces of everyday East Timorese.
