I had research related to the character. So, here I use a lot of dark rooms. I got the opportunity for my own session to learn to print photos. We made dark rooms also in training," said Atiqah Hasiholan.

Atiqah admitted that his character this time had raised his hobby that had not been lived for a long time. He admitted that he liked the world of photography and was happy with the training he had undertaken.
