Being one of the most artistic islands in the world with the perfect mix of exotic culture and tropical weather, Bali is not only a surfer’s paradise but surely a heaven for passionate photographers. There are 1000 photographers in Bali but only a few are professional. Finding lush landscapes, seascapes or iconic landmarks seems effortless in this Island of Gods as it appeals for its natural beauty. However, when it comes to finding a photo studio in Bali, there are some key points to keep in mind while searching through the options.
Renting a photography studio can be an amazing next step for your business. It means you’re ready to take that next step to create a professional look for your products. There are several options for photo studios in Bali, but make sure that your choice has these primary criteria for shooting high-quality photographs, especially during the rainy season.
Photo Studio Space
When choosing a photo studio in Bali, the area of the studio is the first thing to pay attention to. The area should be more than 300 square feet. A 300 square feet area is enough to take portraits to the waist, group photos, or photo products. If you want to do a full-body photoshoot of a model, a fashion shoot (e-commerce or editorial), or a still-life photo or video shoot, consider choosing a photo studio with at least 650 square feet of space. Pay attention to the height of the ceilings in the studio—the height of the ceiling should be at least 3 meters. The higher they are, the more opportunities to work with light.
Photo Studio Lighting

The most important photo equipment in the photo studio is the lighting. Light emphasizes the sharpness, details, and colors in images, so it is important to get enough of it to make a good exposure. Before you choose the photo studio in Bali, find out whether it is a kind of natural light studio or a dark environment studio. Does it also offer blackout curtains so you can control the amount of light filtering in? If you are just showing up with a camera and in need of all the other equipment, make sure that the studio can provide professional photo lighting equipment with brands like Profoto, Elinchrom, or Broncolor. Knowing these types of things ahead of time will do so much good for you.
Photo Studio Setup
Studio setup is part of a photographer's creative process but it does follow a standard way of setting up. A typical studio setup has a roll of white paper backdrop placed on stands as a neutral background. Photographers can have a fun experiment with the colors and usually rented studios can provide certain colors of backdrop along with the stands. Some photographers don’t use backdrops and would rather shoot against the studio’s walls. Not all photo studios in Bali have a beautiful concrete wall ready to use. Therefore, it’s important to figure out the layout, the look, and the feel of the space.
Photo Studio Facilities
If your photoshoot requires models, you’ll want to ask if there is a changing room available for you. A photo studio equipped with a mirror, make-up, and hair-prepping area can make your shoot runs more smoothly while having your model and your products look and feel their best. If you want to do food photography, make sure that the studio has a kitchen for food preparation. Check if the rented studio covers these basic facilities or if they have additional offers that can help you achieve the desired result.
Keep these key points as part of your checklist and photo studio booking guide before you make any decision. If you need a fresh and bright space for a photo studio rental in Bali, feel free to contact us and you’ll get off to a good start.
