I don't think I've ever experienced a place more magical than Bali. On a recent 2 month solo trip to Asia (my first time), my first stop was Bali, Indonesia. While staying at a hostel in Ubud, I met this girl named Alexandra who told me that she wanted to get back into modeling. I had wanted to visit a nearby rice terrace called Ceking Tellanglang, so I asked if she wanted to join me and do a photoshoot there. She said she didn't know what to wear since she was traveling light, so I ended up lending her my clothes to make an outfit. We thankfully survived the ride there through traffic and crazy motorbike drivers, and right off the main road was the entrance to the rice terrace and the most magical place I've ever seen. Amidst all the chaos in life, this felt like fate. Together, we ended up making some of my favorite photos of all time. I hope people can feel the magic of Bali through these images.
