Why here

Why choose Holiday photoshoot in Lombok?

The holiday shoot exists for one reason: photographs of your trip without giving up half a day of it. On Lombok that reason is stronger than on Bali, because the island’s hotels are scattered in pockets an hour or more apart — the Mandalika strip and Kuta in the south, the hillside villas around Selong Belanak, the older beachfront of Senggigi in the west. Each pocket has its own good backdrop within a few minutes of the lobby, and that is where we shoot. In Kuta it is Seger beach and its low hill, in Selong Belanak the bay below the road, in Senggigi the sand in front of the hotels where outrigger boats are pulled up at dusk. You walk out in what you were going to wear to dinner, we work one spot for thirty minutes, and you are back with a drink before the light is gone.

How the shoot is planned

What does the shoot in Lombok look like?

The route

We meet at your reception and walk or drive no more than ten minutes. A typical Kuta session: down to Seger beach, where the sand is coarse and golden and the reef keeps the water quiet, first a few relaxed walking frames to get you used to the camera, then the low headland at the eastern end for height without a real climb. In Senggigi the order reverses — we start on the sand among the fishing boats while the sun is still above the strait, and finish with silhouettes against the orange water. If you would rather stay home, a hotel garden or pool deck counts as the location too; ask the front desk first, since some resorts want to know in advance. An extra hour ($100) adds a second backdrop, and a 15–30 second reel ($110) can be filmed between frames.

The timing

Book by where your hotel faces. South-coast bays look their best from about 6 to 7.30 am, when the water is glassy and the beach is empty, or in the last hour before sunset, around 5 to 6 pm. Senggigi is an evening coast only — its mornings are flat and grey-blue because the sun rises behind the island. In the dry season, April to October, any of these is safe; from November to March, afternoon storms build over the hills, so south-coast guests do better with sunrise. If you arrive on the noon flight from Bali, an arrival-day golden-hour shoot near Kuta is realistic, since the airport is about half an hour away.

Before you book

FAQ — Holiday photoshoot in Lombok

Our hotel is in Sekotong or the north. Can we still book?

Yes, but tell us the hotel name first. The $130 price includes travel within the area booked, and Sekotong, Senaru or the north-west coast are separate areas from Kuta, each one to two and a half hours away. We confirm the plan and anything extra before you pay, so nothing changes on the day.

What happens if it rains on our only free evening?

We move the session to the next sunrise or another evening at no charge. If you are leaving the island, a covered terrace or the hotel lobby works for twenty minutes of relaxed portraits, and wet-season storms on Lombok often pass within an hour, leaving a dramatic sky. We decide together on WhatsApp in the afternoon.

Can we get the photos before we leave Lombok?

The standard gallery arrives within 48–72 hours. If you fly out or take the boat to the Gilis the next morning, the express add-on ($50) delivers the full edited set within 24 hours, so you can post from the ferry.

Do we need to dress differently on Lombok?

On the tourist beaches, no — swimwear and sundresses are normal. If the walk from your hotel passes through a village, throw a shirt or sarong over the top. Lombok is a largely Muslim island, and covering up between the hotel and the sand is a small courtesy that locals notice and appreciate.
