Photographer & videographer in Bali

No. Entry tickets, temple donations and sarong rental are paid on the spot by each guest, and they are not part of the shoot price. At most places it is a few dollars per person; Lempuyang costs more once the shuttle is counted. When we plan the route we list the expected amount for every stop, so you know the total before you confirm and can bring cash in rupiah.

No. Indonesian rules restrict flying around Ngurah Rai airport, which covers much of the south including Kuta and Jimbaran, and over temples or ceremonies without permission. Some beach clubs and resorts ban drones on their property. We fly only where it is legal and agreed with the landowner, and we tell you at the planning stage which of your chosen spots can have aerial shots and which cannot.

Further than the map suggests. From Canggu or Seminyak, Lempuyang is about two and a half to three hours each way, Ulun Danu Beratan around two, and Ubud one to one and a half depending on traffic. That is why we suggest one distant icon plus one location near your hotel per shoot. Trying to fit Lempuyang, Tegallalang and a waterfall into one morning means spending most of it in the car.

From November to March storms usually arrive in the afternoon, so in the wet season we book sunrise and morning slots, which are clear most days. If rain still takes the slot, the shoot moves to another time or day at no cost. Short showers are often an advantage: wet streets, steaming rice fields and dramatic sky. We decide together on the morning, with a radar check, rather than cancelling in advance.
