affordable pictures of bali taken from the sky

Category : Adventure | Posted On Apr 10, 2017

It is no question that Bali is a truly photogenic destination; landscapes and seascapes, culture and commercialism, modern and traditional come together to create an environment perfect for the lens to capture. Many of us snap the sights whilst we travel the island, but one photographer seemed unsatisfied with the angles that lay ahead of him. So, to capture a unique perspective of the island he set to the skies to capture a bir’s eye view with amazing drone footage of Bali.

Thomas Duncan, otherwise known as Tommy Twig, a New Zealand based creative, goes beyond a simple image. He sets out to frame a space and place that not only explains what you’re looking at but creates a strong desire in you to go there. The results are truly vivid, bringing us to a perspective of Bali hard to fathom. From our favourite cultural sites to some of the island’s coolest destinations, he captures their essence in a single frame.

Here are a few photos from his Bali collection that we have chosen:

Uluwatu Temple

One of Bali’s most visited temples, Pura Luhur Uluwatu sits on the edge of the cliff. Whilst many of us look out from afar, Tommy goes above and grabs this amazing angle over the temple, capturing crashing waves below that gives the scene a totally different depth.

Finns Beach Club

From cultural to commercial, Tommy flies above one of Bali’s most happening beach clubs in Bali found along Berawa Beach, Canggu. Finns, with its fully bamboo structure, infinity pool and swim-up bar has pulled it many of the area’s sun seekers and night loungers.

Tegallalang Rice Fields

Just north of Ubud, you’ll find what is perhaps Bali’s most visited terraced rice fields. Tegallalang has been made famous by its deep valleys that create a simply stunning view and environment. Tommy captures it from above, revealing the patterns of the terraces.

Bali

Last, but certainly not least, Bali. Yes, just a scene of the island and what it’s known for. Majestic landscapes from the beach to the mountain, the blending of blue and green.
