Dewi Photo is one of the oldest photo studios in Salatiga. My family always went there for a formal photo shoot. We went there last time in the 80s, and they still exist until today.

They posted a series of photograph taken by the late founder of the studio, Andreas Budianto (Tjiang Gwat Bing). These are dedicated to him.
