Villa & hotel photography · Labuan Bajo

Labuan Bajo is not a private-villa market in the way Bali is, and it would be misleading to pretend otherwise. What it has is a fast-growing stock of hotels, guesthouses, dive lodges and a few villas on the hills north and south of town, most of them selling one thing above all: the view west over the bay and the islands. That is what a listing photographer has to capture here, and it is harder than it looks — a window full of bright sea and sky next to a dim room is exactly where phone photos fail. Our package covers the core of a listing in thirty minutes: the key rooms in daylight with blended exposures so the view stays visible, and the pool or terrace with the bay behind. Full sets and the twilight exterior, with the harbour lights below, come with extra hours.

The Villa & hotel photography package in Labuan Bajo covers: 15+ edited photos: key interiors and the pool; twilight with extra hours; Blended exposures so windows show the view, not a white glare; Shot list agreed with you before the day; Licence to use the photos on listings, your website and social media; Private online gallery within 48–72 hours. Nothing is added to the price after the shoot. Permits worth knowing about: Padar Island viewpoint — Komodo National Park entry plus a Padar trekking fee, paid in Labuan Bajo or at the jetty; drone use needs a separate park permit; Pink Beach, Komodo Island — covered by the national park entry; boat access only; Komodo dragons at Loh Buaya, Rinca — park entry plus a mandatory ranger guide, paid at the ranger station; Kanawa Island — landing fee for day visitors, paid at the jetty; Sylvia Hill — small entry or parking fee; Phinisi deck at anchor — we shoot aboard your chartered boat; the charter itself is not included.
