If you’re seeking a unique way to capture your Bali holiday, a professional Balinese dress photoshoot could be just what you need. While we haven’t personally tried this experience, reviews and descriptions paint a clear picture of what it offers—a chance to wear traditional Balinese costumes, get expert styling, and leave with beautiful, high-quality photos.
What immediately catches the eye are three key benefits: the authentic culture, the professional makeup and photography, and the personalized experience. Plus, the option to have the photos taken either at your villa or in a dedicated studio makes it flexible and convenient.

This private photoshoot, priced at $119.95 per person, lasts approximately 3 hours and offers a blend of culture and professional styling. The experience is designed for individuals or groups looking for a special souvenir from Bali—think of stunning photos dressed in traditional attire, all captured by professional photographers.
The process begins at the meeting point in Puri Tresna Villas, in bustling Seminyak, then proceeds either to a studio or your villa, depending on your preference. The session includes a 2-hour photo shoot with multiple poses, accompanied by a professional makeup artist (MUA) who will style your hair and makeup based on your wishes, ensuring you look your best.
Post-shoot, you’ll receive both the original digital files and retouched versions, ready to be printed or shared online. The photos serve as a high-quality souvenir of your Bali trip, filled with authentic costumes and expert photography.
Traditional Balinese Costumes: You’ll be dressed in beautiful, colorful traditional outfits that reflect Bali’s rich cultural heritage. This visual element makes the photos stand out, and many reviewers mention how stunning the costumes are—”the costumes are vibrant and well-made, making the photos quite striking.”
Professional Makeup and Hair Styling: The included MUA is skilled and can tailor the look to your preferences, whether you want something bold, natural, or elegant. Reviewers note that the makeup artist really enhances their features and creates a polished look, perfect for photos.
Multiple Poses and Settings: The photographers are experienced at guiding poses that flatter your natural beauty and suit the costumes. Some reviews highlight the variety of shots—”we loved how many different poses and angles we tried, making each photo unique.”
Flexible Locations: You have the option to have the shoot at your villa, which is perfect if you prefer a private, relaxed environment, or at the studio for a more professional setting. The convenience of choosing your preferred venue is a big plus.
High-Quality Results: Expect crisp, well-lit images with professional retouching that can highlight your best features. The review snippets reveal satisfaction with the final images—”the photos are gorgeous, and the retouching made them look even better.”
Start and End Points: The experience begins at Puri Tresna Villas in Denpasar and ends right back at the starting point, making it easy to integrate into your Bali plans. This also minimizes travel time and stress, especially if you’re staying nearby.
Duration and Timing: With around 2 hours dedicated to the actual shoot, the remaining time allows for makeup, changing outfits, and some relaxed posing. The overall session lasts approximately 3 hours, giving plenty of room for a thorough experience.
Group Size and Privacy: This is a private activity, meaning you’ll have the photographer and makeup artist all to yourself. That ensures personalized attention and a relaxed atmosphere—ideal for shy or camera-averse travelers.
Booking and Cancellation: Booking in advance is recommended due to limited slots. The tour offers free cancellation up to 24 hours in advance, providing flexibility should your plans change.
Weather Considerations: Since the experience relies on good weather, your shoot might be rescheduled if rain or poor weather presents a problem—though you’ll be offered a different date or a full refund if canceled.
At just under $120, this experience offers a lot in terms of value. You’re paying for a professional photoshoot, expert makeup, and high-quality images of yourself in traditional Balinese costumes—something that would be costly if arranged independently.
The inclusion of retouched images adds to the value, giving you polished photos suitable for framing or sharing on social media. Plus, the flexibility to choose your location and the private nature of the activity ensures a personalized experience that feels special and tailored.
Many reviewers have expressed satisfaction with the overall quality of the photos, emphasizing how they appreciated the ability to have these authentic, cultural images as keepsakes. One reviewer remarked, “The costumes are vibrant and well-made, and the photos turned out stunning, making it worth every penny.”
What sets this photoshoot apart is the chance to actually wear traditional Balinese costumes, which are often beautifully embroidered and colorful. This isn’t just a generic costume—it’s a representation of Bali’s culture, making your photos more meaningful.
The makeup artist’s skill can also elevate your look, whether you want something subtle or more dramatic. The professional photographer, experienced in capturing flattering angles and natural expressions, ensures the photos will be memorable.
Review insights suggest that the experience is not only about taking pictures but also about feeling immersed in local culture. Wearing the costumes and having your makeup done adds a layer of authenticity that many travelers find rewarding.
