Bali Travel Photographer & Cinematic Drone
Natural photography and cinematic drone films, inspired by Bali’s light, landscapes, and real moments.
Photography That Feels Like Your Time in Bali
Some of the most memorable moments in Bali happen when you are simply enjoying where you are. A quiet morning at a bamboo villa, a walk through the rice terraces of Sidemen, or a beautiful afternoon together.
Based in Karangasem, Luminare Photo offers relaxed, film-inspired photography for couples, families, solo travellers, and honeymooners exploring Bali. From the peaceful landscapes of Sidemen to the lush surroundings of Ubud, each session is shaped by natural light, genuine connection, and the atmosphere of the location. During your session, we offer gentle guidance when needed while leaving room for spontaneous moments. Whether through timeless photographs or cinematic drone footage, our aim is to create something personal that brings you back to how your Bali experience felt.

Hi, My Name is Yuda — Your Bali Photographer & Drone Pilot
I’m the founder and photographer at Luminare Photo, based in Karangasem, Bali. My approach is inspired by the timeless character of film photography, with soft colours, natural light, and genuine moments at the heart of every session. Whether you’re celebrating a honeymoon, exploring a beautiful bamboo villa, or simply enjoying your time in Bali, I want the experience to feel relaxed and personal.
Alongside photography, I also create cinematic drone footage that brings a different perspective to your surroundings. From the lush valleys of Sidemen to Bali’s beautiful coastal landscapes, I love combining intimate moments with the natural beauty of the island. The result is a collection of photographs and films that feels true to your experience.
Cinematic Drone Video & Honest Connections — That’s the Luminare Way
Beautiful photographs are not just about the places you visit, but also the moments you share along the way. A quiet conversation, a spontaneous laugh, or simply enjoying the view together. Our sessions are relaxed and natural, with gentle guidance when needed and plenty of room for genuine connections and unscripted moments.
For those who want to capture Bali from a different perspective, cinematic drone footage adds another dimension to the story. From bamboo villas nestled in the valleys of Sidemen to Bali’s beautiful coastlines, aerial views reveal the surroundings that make each location special. Photography and drone coverage can be enjoyed separately or together, depending on your plans, the location, and suitable flying conditions.
