This is a wonderful opportunity to join Mike, Jackie and Dave as we explore the back roads and villages of this beautiful Island and photograph the real essence of Bali that most visitors don’t experience. The tour will venture into West Bali & the ancient kingdom of Karangasem, an area seldom visited by foreigners, offering opportunities to capture Balinese living as they have done for thousands of years. The climax of the tour will be photographing the Nyepi festival near Ubud.

Don’t talk about heaven if you’ve never been to Bali, so said an early explorer.
It really is hard to describe Bali in words, so why not try and capture it on camera sensors?

Bali has it all, towering volcanoes that seem to guard the green lush terraced rice fields stretching out below them, stunning, colourful sunrises and sunsets, thick jungle, waterfalls, sacred rivers, lakes, and thousands of ancient temples.

The light in Bali creates mystical landscapes from dawn until dusk, it is indeed a haven for photographers. The depth and range of colour are incredible. 

The rice paddies are a subject in themselves, as they cascade down gentle slopes, following the path of the river or the curves of the mountain, often with stunning jungle backdrops. 

But perhaps the greatest thing about Bali is its people. This is a paradise for photographers as the Balinese love to have their photos taken and are very proud to display their culture in all its vibrancy and colour. 

Mike and Jackie will take you through ways to capture striking images not only of the landscapes but also indoor portraits and people photography. 

With Dave’s knowledge of places to visit, and local connections having lived in Bali for eleven years, this combination will deliver a truly remarkable workshop that will enable participants to capture the true essence of Bali.

The workshop will include six nights in a beautiful four-star Hotel in Ubud, where we will explore the creative heart of the island, and then two nights in the ancient kingdom of Karangasem an area seldom visited by foreigners, but opportunities to capture Balinese living as they have done for thousands of years.
