Hey, Glen here – Bali swimwear photographer, always loving those intimate, lush villa days that feel like pure escape. Recently shot a small, fresh release of bikinis from the South African label Nuude Swim (or Nuude, as it’s often styled) with the stunning Aussie model Alysha Bandy (@alyshabandy_) at the dreamy Casa Blooms in Pererenan.
Nuude Swim is a proudly South African brand focused on body positivity, diversity, and inclusive design – think skin-tone-inspired nudes, flattering cuts, and pieces that celebrate real bodies in a confident, authentic way. Their small releases keep things exclusive and thoughtful, perfect for women who want swimwear that feels personal and empowering.
Alysha Bandy is electric: tall, blonde, blue-eyed confidence with that effortless Aussie glow (repped by Castaway Models and more, plus her huge Instagram presence). She’s got this natural, sun-loving energy that makes every pose feel relaxed and magnetic – we’ve collaborated before, and she always brings the fire.
Casa Blooms is one of my go-to villas in Pererenan (near Canggu’s buzz but way more serene): Mediterranean-inspired with a tropical twist – warm wood finishes, elegant arches, bright open spaces, blooming gardens, pools, and that cozy indoor-outdoor flow. It’s photoshoot heaven: lush greenery framing shots, soft natural light pouring in, private pool areas for clean backdrops, and that fresh Bali vibe without distractions.
We kept it simple and organic: Alysha in Nuude’s latest bikinis – minimal, flattering styles popping against the villa’s white walls and tropical plants. Golden-hour glow on sun-kissed skin, playful lounging by the pool, subtle movement in the breeze, relaxed poses on sunbeds, and those warm, inviting smiles that capture the brand’s inclusive spirit. The light was perfect: soft mornings for dreamy tones, afternoon sun highlighting fabrics and fit, sunset adding a cinematic warmth.
The images feel fresh, confident, and full of island soul – ideal for Nuude’s small release, online shop, socials, or inspiring body-positive beach days.
Shoots at Casa Blooms with talents like Alysha are why I love Bali: the serenity, the light, the effortless creativity. Huge thanks to Alysha for the incredible energy and to the Nuude team for the vision.
