Beauty light for clean headshots
One large soft source above the camera. Even, flattering, "magazine cover" look. The default for LinkedIn and modelling headshots.

02 / What you get
Every photo session
A studio session — delivered, not just shot
→ 01
30 fully retouched, release-ready photos
Not 30 RAW files for you to sort. 30 final shots — colour-graded, skin retouched, sharpened, exported in both vertical and horizontal. Drop them straight into LinkedIn, Instagram, your site, or your press kit.
→ 02
A photographer who directs you
If you've never done a shoot before — we tell you where to put your hands, when to move your chin, when to laugh. You don't need to "pose" — you just react to the directions.
→ 03
Three lighting setups in one session
Beauty light for headshots, three-point for editorial, natural window for lifestyle. You walk out with three different "looks" from the same hour — variety for socials, site, ads, everything.
→ 04
Tethered preview during the shoot
Every shot pops up on a 27-inch monitor immediately. You see the frame as we shoot it, approve it, suggest a tweak — no surprises when you get the files.
→ 05
Same-day previews, full retouch in 5 days
Unretouched preview gallery on Google Drive the same evening. Final 30 retouched shots within 5 working days — no chasing the photographer, no "next month".
→ 06
Pickup across Bali — we come to you
For portrait shoots at your villa, restaurant, or office: we travel anywhere on Bali with the same lighting kit. Canggu, Berawa, Umalas, Ubud — pickup is included; Uluwatu and beyond — small transit fee.
03 / Sound familiar?
If at least two ring a bell — keep reading
You need photos — but not the iPhone selfie kind
"My LinkedIn profile photo is the same one from 2019. My website is screenshots from Instagram. I've been meaning to do this for two years."
You're rebranding personally and your last "headshot" is a cropped wedding photo
You're launching a course or product and need 30 hero shots for the landing page
You run a restaurant, café or villa and need clean food and interior photos for socials
You're a founder pitching investors and need a press-kit-grade portrait
You tried a friend with a DSLR — got 200 raw files and the energy to edit zero of them
You're going on a tour, podcast or speaking circuit and need press shots fast
You're a model or actor and need fresh book updates for your agency
You're a couple, family or expecting — and want one cinematic Bali shoot, not a tourist snap
04 / Process
From booking to retouched gallery
How a session at Villo actually goes
Core Job 01
Personal-branding portrait shoot (most popular)
01
Book 1 hour online
Pick a slot in the calendar. Tell us what the photos are for (LinkedIn, site, press kit, dating, all of the above).
02
Wardrobe brief 24 h before
We send 3 mood references and a "what to bring" list — 2-3 outfits, no bright logos, no white shirts unless you want to.
03
1 hour, 3 looks, 200+ frames
Beauty light, three-point editorial, natural lifestyle. We direct, you react. You see every frame on the monitor as it's shot.
04
Pick your favourites the same evening
Preview gallery on Google Drive — you star the 30 you want retouched. No "30 random choices" by the editor.
05
30 retouched shots in 5 days
Skin, colour, sharpening, dust, stray hair — all cleaned. Vertical + horizontal exports for every shot.
Core Job 02
Lifestyle, food & interior for your business
01
Tell us what you sell
Restaurant, café, villa, retreat, online store. Brief us on the mood: warm and rustic, clean and minimal, dark and editorial.
02
We come to you (or you come to us)
Most lifestyle shoots happen on location — interior, food on the table, your team. Studio if you need a clean backdrop.
03
2-3 hours of shooting
Hero food shots, interior wides, talent details, the team mid-action. Tethered monitor on every shot.
04
30 retouched final shots
Colour-graded for your brand, square + vertical + horizontal — ready for menu, website, Instagram and Meta ads.
Core Job 03
Product photography for online & ads
01
Drop us the products and a brief
5-30 SKUs, your brand colours, references for tone (Apple-clean? Editorial? Lifestyle on-model?).
02
Shoot in our seamless studio
White, black, coloured backdrops. Hero shots, packshots, lifestyle setups, on-model shots if you need a face.
03
Cutouts & retouch included
Background removed, colour-true rendering, dust and reflection cleanup. PNG with transparent background ready for Shopify.
04
Delivery in every aspect ratio
Square for grid, vertical for Reels, horizontal for site. Same-week turnaround.
05 / Lighting
Three setups · one session
Pick the mood — we set the lights
All three setups are included in every session — same Rp 1.5M / hr rate. You walk out with three distinct looks from the same hour, one per use case.
Three-point for cinematic depth
Key + fill + rim light. The "moody, expensive" look — high contrast, separation from the background. Press kits, founder portraits, album covers.
Mood · dramatic · cinematic · serious
Natural window light for lifestyle
Big window as the key, white reflector as fill. Soft, organic, "candid" energy. The default for lifestyle, food, family and couples — when you want it to look "real".
Mood · organic · warm · candid
06 / Outcome
Where you end up
After one session you have a brand library, not a folder of selfies
Emotions · Point B
- Relief that the LinkedIn cover photo question is finally closed
- Confidence pitching investors with a portrait that looks like a founder
- Pride watching guests double-tap your shoot — even your mom
Big Jobs · Done
- 30 retouched portraits across LinkedIn, site, press kit, dating, podcast hosts
- A brand library that lasts a year — not a one-off Instagram post
- Your business looks the way it actually feels — not "we'll get around to it"
07 / Doubts
And how we resolve them
Still have doubts?
How much does a photo session cost?
Rp 1,500,000 per hour in our Canggu studio, with one setup, the photographer, three lighting options, and 30 retouched final photos delivered within 5 working days. On-location shoots in Canggu / Berawa / Umalas / Ubud — same rate, pickup included. Further out — small transit fee.
What does "30 retouched photos" actually mean?
30 final shots — colour-graded, skin retouched, sharpened, exported in vertical and horizontal. Not 30 RAW files for you to sort through. We send a preview gallery the same evening, you star which ones you want retouched, we deliver finals in 5 days.
I've never done a shoot — will I look awkward?
No. The photographer directs you — where to put your hands, when to move your chin, when to laugh. You don't need to "pose". Most clients are surprised how natural it feels in 5 minutes.
What should I wear / bring?
We send a wardrobe brief 24 hours before — 2-3 outfits, no bright logos, avoid white unless you want a clean look. For lifestyle/food shoots — bring your products, props, brand colours. Hair and makeup are not included; we can recommend a freelancer.
Do you do shoots on location, not just the studio?
Yes. Pickup across Canggu, Berawa, Umalas, Ubud is included in the rate. Uluwatu, Sanur, the Bukit — small transit fee. We bring portable lighting, reflectors, and tethered monitor — same look as in the studio.
Can I shoot personal branding + product in one session?
Yes — most founders do. One hour gets you ~10 portrait shots + ~10 product shots + ~10 lifestyle if your products are simple. For 30+ SKU product shoots, we recommend a separate dedicated session.
How fast do I get the final retouched photos?
Preview gallery the same evening (unretouched, for your selection). Final 30 retouched shots within 5 working days — sometimes faster. Rush delivery (2 days) — +30% fee.
What kind of photography do you NOT do?
Wedding-day photography, large-event coverage (we recommend specialised teams for both), and explicit/adult content. Everything else — yes: portraits, lifestyle, food, product, fashion, family, couples, real estate.
Can I bring my hair & makeup person?
Yes — we have a small backstage area for prep. We can also recommend MUA freelancers in Canggu (Rp 600k–1.2M depending on level).
Do you work in English?
Yes — the team works in English and Russian. Most clients are expats and creators on tour — directing in your language is the default.
08 / We fire
Your current photo setup
We fire whatever's making your photos look amateur
A cropped wedding photo as your LinkedIn headshot
Investors and recruiters open your LinkedIn before they open your CV. The first impression is decided by that 240×240 pixel circle — not your achievements.
Your friend with a DSLR shooting "as a favour"
A camera is the easy part. The hard part is direction, light, retouch and follow-through. You'll get 200 RAW files and zero finals.
iPhone selfies for press releases and pitch decks
iPhone portraits look like iPhone portraits. Investors, journalists and brand partners see the difference instantly.
Hiring a photographer + a separate retoucher
Two contacts, two timelines, two invoices. Our flow bundles shoot + retouch + delivery into one rate, finished in 5 days.
Flying to Jakarta or Singapore for "real" headshots
You're already in Bali. Studio-grade portraits are right here — no return ticket required.
"I'll get around to it next quarter"
It's been 18 months. The next quarter has the same constraints. The photo doesn't take itself.
● Press shutter · we'll be ready
One session.
Thirty release-ready shots.
Pick a slot — the lights, the photographer and the retoucher are warming up.
Or message us on WhatsApp / Telegram — send your reference, we'll send 3 sample shots within an hour.
