Tropical Bliss: Shooting Alexandra Pletnyova for Delmaar Swim at La Santa Rosa, Balangan
Hey, Glen here – Bali swimwear photographer chasing that perfect island light. Just wrapped a dreamy shoot with the stunning international model Alexandra Pletnyova for the bold Latin-inspired label Delmaar Swim at the gorgeous boutique resort La Santa Rosa in Balangan, Bali.
Alexandra (the tall, radiant Russian beauty with her signature light brown hair, brown eyes, and effortless 5’10” presence) is always a joy to work with – her confidence and natural glow make every frame feel alive. We’ve captured her magic in Bali before, and this time the tropical vibes were dialed all the way up.
La Santa Rosa is pure paradise: lush palm gardens, serene pools, charming bungalows, and that short walk to Balangan’s wild black-sand beach with crashing waves. It’s got that hidden-gem feel – quiet luxury mixed with raw Bali nature – the ideal spot for warm, sun-drenched swimwear shots.
We leaned into the tropical energy: Alexandra in Delmaar’s handmade bikinis with crochet details, shiny fabrics, and minimal cuts that scream confidence and summer fun. Golden-hour glow on sun-kissed skin, playful poses by the pool, lounging under palms, gentle sea breeze in her hair – everything felt effortless and vibrant. The light was magic: soft mornings for dreamy close-ups, afternoon sun making colors pop, and sunset turning the whole scene cinematic.
The images capture Delmaar’s Latin flair perfectly – bold, sensual, and ready for beach-to-street adventures. Shooting here reminds me why Bali is unbeatable for tropical swim campaigns: authentic settings, flawless light, and pure creative flow.
Huge thanks to Alexandra for bringing the fire and to the Delmaar team for the vision. If you’re hunting for “tropical bikini photoshoot Bali,” “Balangan Beach swimwear campaign,” or a photographer who nails that warm, authentic vibe, let’s make your next one unforgettable.
More from this session in the portfolio soon.
