Starting from his love for the world of photography, Khadijah Nurul Fitri, a student of Arabic Language Education (PBA), University of Muhammadiyah Malang (UMM), won first place national-level photography competition in the MAZRABI 2020 competition. This competition was organized by the University of Al-Azhar Indonesia on the 14th. -20 last December.
In this competition, the committee took the theme "Heroes in the Pandemic Era". After three days of traveling around Jombang to take photos, Nurul finally decided to take pictures of online motorcycle taxi drivers. Although trivial, Nurul considers the role of online motorcycle taxi drivers during the pandemic. They help people to be able to make ends meet without having to leave the house and interact with many people.

The second child of three siblings also shared that he became interested in and pursued the hobby of photography a year ago. He learned all the technicalities of photography by himself via the internet. However, because he was still a beginner, he experienced many technical problems in preparation for the competition.
“I took street photography for three days. After finishing photographing, I usually ask the opinions of seniors in the Student Activity Unit (UKM) that I follow online. They gave me a lot of advice regarding the technical problems that I often face. One of them is the right ISO setting and angle in photography,” said the student who was born in Jombang.

Nurul admitted that he did not expect to be able to win first place in the competition. This is because other participants have better technique and photo quality. This competition was also the first national photography competition he participated in.
“I cannot win this race at all. I am also very grateful because I can make the study program and campus proud and make my parents proud. In the future, I will continue to practice my photography skills and return to print other works,” said Nurul at the end of the interview. (apg / syi / wil)
