What a great day and money well spent - David is a knowledgeable photographer, and knows the best off the beaten path spots for shooting in the area around Ubud. He's a good guy and will tailor your day according to your skills. I am an avid amateur and experienced in landscape photogrpahy. I also love shooting people. We spent hours Ina really cool market that no one but locals would know. What a day. David also works with a local driver, NY man Dana (nyomandana622 on WhatsApp) who is just an all around fine human being. He gave so much color and local background info. Do not hesitate to engage either or both of these guys. They're just superb.

Worth every cent!! - All I can say if you want to experience a beautiful sunrise over volcanoes, go to a very local market tourists rarely visit, have lunch in the home in a local village, and stop at many spots along the back roads, all the while taking incredible images, then this is the tour for you. I recommend this tour without any reservation. Also David is very helpful to ensure your camera settings are appropriate for the setting.
A must do for any photographer visiting Bali.

Great experience with a wonderful local guide - Thoroughly enjoyed our time with Nyoman, he's a really great guy and took us to some terrific locations. 

Nyoman is hugely experienced and took the time to help me to improve my shot choices and think about composition.
The clouds didn't clear for us at dawn so there was no opportunity to capture Mt Agung on this day. Instead, Nyoman took us into the fields and I was able to capture the early mist amongst the trees and rice terraces. After this, we visited markets, temples and waterfalls.
Nyoman also recommended and offered an ND filter at a water temple. This proved invaluable for long exposure shots and yielded some terrific results.
My partner came along for the ride and although she was not taking pictures, she also had a great time.
Nyoman’s family and friends were also very welcoming and made us feel very comfortable. The home cooked meal was delicious!


Overall, Nyoman was very knowledgeable and his enthusiasm is infectious.

Great day of shooting - Spent a fantastic day with Nyoman and came away with some fantastic images. Although the weather was initially challenging, Nyoman adapted really well until the rain cleared up. He also quickly understood the types of images I like to shoot and adjusted the itinerary accordingly. Communication with both Nyoman and David was excellent throughout - highly recommended.

Great Tour and an outstanding day - Outstanding day, we had challenging conditions with the weather but my guide Nyoman was excellent and adjusted the tour's itinerary to suit the weather conditions. While early rain impacted some of the sites, we had great light as the sun broke through the rain clouds lighting up the rice fields. Nyoman is also a very good photographer who provided helpful guidance during the tour, particularly photographing people at a local market and also the village ceremony. The booking process through Viator was simple and effective, and follow-up communications for the tour were very good. David, Nyoman and Wayan were very responsive, and David provided a pre-tour brief which was very helpful. I have no hesitation in recommending David's tours, in particular the full day tour.

Highlight of our bali trip with precious memories to take home - We had absolutely fantastic time with Nyoman on our 1 day photography trip. We started early morning with a sunrise shoot, followed by a local market, streetphotography and a lunch and traditional dance at Nyomans home. He is this super warm and friendly person that helps you improve your photoskills, show you the best places and make all the people so relaxed so you get wonderful portraits. The warmth of Nyoman and his family is really inspirational. The communication with David through whatsapp worked great. We would highly recommend a trip with them!

Mind Blowing Cultural Experience - My wife and I partnered with David to bring a small group of photographers to Bali from the United States for a 9 day cultural photographic experience. This was our second trip to the beautiful Island of Bali and it far exceeded our expectations. Wow, David is one of the most passionate people I've had the privilege of being around and his love for the Island and most importantly the people is abundantly obvious. This was a photography workshop that turned into a spiritual and cultural journey with our cameras. We are already planning our next adventure to Bali and beyond with David.
