The problem with the locations is that, my jimny isn't capable of going long range distances. A small fuel tank and constant breakdowns, Its chasis is too weak and the parts are too old. So it was a struggle for me to figure a way to display the jimny for an offroad magazine. I live in denpasar, which is a city in Bali. Filled with buildings and barely any rough terrain or "offroad" tracks for me to do a photoshoot on, therefore I had to subvert conventions of offroad car magazines which was to have the car actually going offroad and instead I would have the jimny just sitting.  This was a major problem for me but I do like the challenge so I will stick with this idea and see how it goes
