Abstract:
This paper examines the phenomenon of Foto Chika in Bandung, Indonesia, as a distinct visual genre that merges lifestyle documentation, entertainment media, and social performance. Originating from candid, high-glamour photography styles popularized by paparazzi and celebrity culture, Foto Chika in Bandung has been localized into a tool for youth self-presentation in cafes, creative hubs, and street fashion locales. Through ethnographic observation of Instagram accounts, Bandung’s café hopping culture, and photography service providers, this paper argues that Foto Chika functions as a mechanism for constructing aspirational identity, consuming urban spaces as entertainment stages, and fostering a micro-celebrity economy.

3. Props & Lifestyle: Holding a coffee cup, a block of pisang molen, or a pair of sunglasses. The props scream "I live a luxurious, relaxed life."
4. Editing: High contrast, warm tones for sunset, or futuristic neon vibes for nightclubs.

Bandung offers all of this in spades, from volcanic landscapes to rooftop restaurants. This paper treats “Foto Chika” as a genre
