Jongman’s artistic spark ignited at an early age, growing up in a family of musicians and artists. While exploring various art forms in school, he developed a keen interest in music and architecture. He pursued both fields with dedication and even performed for international audiences. Eventually, Jongman turned his passion into a profession, focusing on architecture.

However, during his studies in architecture, Jongman discovered a new passion for the beauty of nature and photography. He began exploring the outdoors and capturing its essence through his lens. In 2022, an opportunity presented itself for Jongman to learn from Pangolin Photo Safaris, which eventually led to him joining the team as a photographic host in January 2023.
