Looking for a fresh and beautiful production destination for your next creative project? Bali has entered the chat.
The island is quickly becoming one of the hottest spots for photo and video production, and for good reason. With heaps of jaw-dropping natural landscapes, trendy real estate shooting venues, and a thriving network of highly skilled creatives, Bali’s got that magic sauce to take your project to the next level. Whether you’re trying to get dope e-commerce product shots, aspirational lifestyle & wellness pics, high-quality corporate images, gorgeous wedding photos, or virtually anything else, Bali’s the place to be.
As long-time Bali residents ourselves working in content creation, let us give you the rundown on why you should do your next video or photoshoot in Bali.
1. Bali's unbeatable natural landscapes
Just run a quick Google search on Bali and you’ll see why they call it the Island of the Gods. Bali’s an unbelievable natural studio for different types of video and content production that outdoes anything you could simply render up. This one island has so many stunning landscapes to choose from, including majestic volcanoes, verdant rice terraces, tropical rivers, waterfalls, jungles, and cliff-topped coastlines. And we haven’t even gotten to the beaches yet. Take your pick from pristine white sand to striking black sand. Living on an island, we’re also all about ocean and boat shoots – which are now trending, FYI.
2. Endless real estate options without breaking the bank
One of the top reasons our clients keep coming back to shoot in Bali is the insane amount of trendy real estate locations that continue to pop up on the island. You can find just about any villa or venue from rustic to luxurious, in every style, from Moroccan to Italian to Greek to eco-chic, that look like they’re straight off your Pinterest board – in fact, they probably are. When it comes down to brass tacks, these shooting venues can be found at budget-friendly prices, keeping your project cost-effective. Because after all, why go broke when you don’t have to?
3. The hottest models, makeup artists, and stylists
IYKYK, for video and content production, the talent can make or break a project. Bali’s emerged as an international hub for the hottest models, makeup artists, and stylists who can level up your project. Pro tip: working in stride with a Bali production house can ensure you get the most skilled pre-production crew possible, whether you need styling, hair and makeup, casting, lighting, or any other production hands on deck for your shoot.
4. An incredibly rich culture
Bali’s the only Hindu province in Indonesia and its unique cultural identity shines through in the island’s iconic architecture, centuries-old customs, and yes, we’ll say it… the energy. Ask anyone who’s been to Bali about this and they’ll say the same thing. It’s a magical place and making the move to shoot in Bali can infuse your content creation with an aesthetic you won’t be able to find elsewhere. We dare you to shoot in Bali and not get inspired by the soulful traditional ceremonies and rich heritage in the arts, dance, and music. Plus, the locals are extremely warm and welcoming, so it’s an all-around pleasant place to be.
5. Out-of-this-world golden hours
In the world of video and content production, lighting is everything. The heavens seem to conspire here for photographers and filmmakers, offering out-of-this-world golden hours that’ll really make your shoots pop. The island’s temperamental weather patterns can also give your projects a dynamic boost. Picture a scene unfolding from soft, diffused sunlight to dramatic cloudy skies, offering you the chance to saturate mood and atmosphere in your creative and brand storytelling. We told you, it’s a magical place.
6. A chill lifestyle and wellness scene
Frankly, organising and executing photo and video shoots can be stressful. Do yourself a favour and avoid burnout by taking a page from the Bali lifestyle playbook. We’re talking low-key vibes, tranquil surroundings, and a culture that values holistic well-being. Keep your team (and yourself) fresh by working in a place where unwinding after hours comes second nature.
7. Experienced local production support
No one knows the lay of the land better than the locals, and Bali is no exception. Thankfully, the island’s got experienced Bali-based production teams – hey, whaddup – that can not only lock down your logistics but also share your passion for creating engaging content. More than just getting a job done, you’ll find that there’s something special about Bali bringing the right people together resulting in partnerships that make magic.
