Intimate Confidence: Shooting Caitlin North Lewis for King Trading Bali

Hey, Glen here – Bali photographer, still replaying that quiet, electric afternoon in the studio. Some days the work feels less like a job and more like a conversation between light, fabric, and the person wearing it. This intimates campaign for King Trading Bali was exactly that: intimate, trusting, and full of subtle power.

King Trading (PT King Trading) has been one of Bali’s quiet powerhouses since the early ’90s – a full-service manufacturer in Kerobokan specializing in premium ladieswear, swim, activewear, and yes, beautiful intimates. They handle everything in-house with a real commitment to quality, sustainability (eco fabrics, tax-free imports via their bonded facility), and exporting to brands worldwide. When they asked for an intimates campaign, we aimed for something elegant and real – not overproduced, just honest confidence in pieces designed to feel as good as they look.

Then there’s Caitlin North Lewis (@caitlinnorthlewis). Bali-raised (born right here in Denpasar), now splitting time between London and the world, she’s this incredible blend of island roots and global presence. At 23, she’s already built a strong career as a model and actress – repped by agencies like The Four Models, De Boekers, M&P Models, and others, with credits in Netflix’s Dear David (2023), Paranoia (2021), and more. Caitlin has that rare, effortless grace: dark hair, striking features, and a quiet self-assurance that makes every frame feel personal. She’s warm, professional, and completely present – the kind of collaborator who makes you forget the camera is even there.

We kept the studio setup simple and soulful: soft, diffused lighting to wrap her skin in a gentle glow, a neutral textured backdrop, and just enough space to move freely. Caitlin in delicate lace sets, silk slips, and subtle lingerie pieces – poses that were strong yet soft, close-ups on intricate details (lace edges, smooth straps, the way fabric drapes), full-body silhouettes that celebrated form and confidence. We played with natural window light for a few shots, letting Bali’s warm afternoon spill in and add that golden, lived-in feel. No heavy retouching, no forced drama – just her natural beauty meeting high-quality intimates in their best light.

The images came out feeling empowering and intimate: timeless, sensual without trying too hard, and perfectly aligned with King Trading’s reputation for premium craftsmanship. They’re ready for client presentations, lookbooks, or whatever comes next – but more than that, they capture a moment of real connection.

Days like this remind me why I love shooting in Bali: the light is generous, the people are genuine, and every once in a while you get to create something that feels quietly powerful. Massive thanks to Caitlin for trusting the process and bringing her full presence, and to the King Trading team for the opportunity to showcase their intimates line this way.

If you’re a brand looking for “intimates campaign photography Bali,” “lingerie photoshoot Indonesia,” “Caitlin North Lewis collab,” or thoughtful, human-centered studio work, let’s talk. These are the sessions that stay with you.
