Tropical Beach Bliss: Shooting Alysha Bandy for Kimkini at Melasti Beach, Uluwatu
Hey, Glen here – Bali swimwear photographer, forever hooked on those raw, untouched coastal spots. Just had an epic day shooting the stunning Aussie model Alysha Bandy (@alyshabandy_) for the sustainable luxe brand Kimkini (@kimkini) right at Melasti Beach in Uluwatu. Pure tropical bikini vibes all the way.
Alysha is electric: tall, blonde, blue-eyed confidence with that effortless Aussie glow (repped by Castaway Models and more). She’s got this natural, sun-loving energy that lights up every frame – perfect for Kimkini’s playful, eco-conscious designs.
Kimkini is all about smart luxury: reversible bikinis (two looks in one!), customizable pieces, ethically handmade to order in Dubai, using recycled ocean waste fabrics. Their reversible luxe styles, bold prints, shiny finishes, and that sustainable edge make them stand out – eco-friendly swimwear that still feels sexy, fun, and high-end.
Melasti Beach? Absolute paradise on the Bukit Peninsula’s southern tip. White powdery sand, dramatic limestone cliffs, crystal-clear turquoise waters, and that serene, less-crowded feel compared to other Uluwatu spots. It’s got this wild yet accessible beauty – long stretches of beach, gentle waves, and golden Bali light that turns everything magical.
We captured the tropical essence: Alysha in Kimkini’s reversible bikinis against the white sand and cliffs, playful poses in the shallows, hair flowing in the sea breeze, lounging on the beach with ocean horizon backdrops, and those warm golden-hour shots where the sun kisses skin and fabrics just right. Soft morning light for dreamy glows, afternoon sun popping the colors, and sunset turning the scene cinematic – everything felt fresh, empowering, and full of island soul.
The images showcase Kimkini’s versatility and sustainability in one of Bali’s most beautiful hidden beaches – ready for their online store, socials, and inspiring eco-swim fans everywhere.
Shoots at Melasti remind me why Uluwatu’s beaches are unbeatable for tropical campaigns: raw nature, flawless light, and zero distractions. Huge thanks to Alysha for the incredible energy and to the Kimkini team for the vision.
