During one of our days off from scuba diving and snorkeling in Amed, Bali, we decided to see how far one of the steep local mountain roads could leads us onto Mount Lempuyang, in the eastern part of the island. We past several villages with chickens and dogs running freely as fog kept rolling in the tiger we went.

A mother and young child with happy yet desperate eyes as they receive donations at a local shelter. This photo was taken two days after Mount Agung on Bali erupted forcing the airport to close and thousands of villagers to flee into makeshift shelter centres. Bali, Indonesia 29 November 2017.

It was a last minute decision to climb Mount Batur in a recent trip to Bali, Indonesia. I got picked up at 1:30am before heading to the meeting point. With a friendly local guide, we started hiking after 3:30am and reached the top after 90 minutes or so. Definitely tiring but definitely worthwhile especially when we got our coffee. From Mount Batur, you can see Mount Abang and Mount Agung (an active volcano).

An early morning through the jungle to reach this beautiful waterfall. It falls so perfectly it looks man made.

Scuba divers about to descend for a dive on Gili Trawangan. Diving with Uber Scuba Gili. On a clear day you can see all the way to Mt Agung on Bali in the far distance, as in this photo.

Two excited scuba divers descending into the ocean slowly, equalising their ears as they have been taught. This is where the fun begins.

First morning of my backpacking trip around Bali. Woke up at 5 to meet up with a local I had never met which turned out to be the highlight of my trip.

We came to Kelingking beach for the sunset but there’s this lovely spot for couples to take stupid photos and of course we fell prey.

Can anyone spot the cabin on the cliff? Hell of a place to build a house! This photo is taken from a small cliffside near Ramuh Pohon treehouse. Woke up at 4am to do the 1 hour drive across Nusa Penida to catch the sun rise. This is the view of Atuh Beach from above. We keep seeing photos of a naked cliff even though there are definitely guard rails. Not sure if it’s photoshop or it’s a slightly different cliffside a few dozen meters away. If there is such a spot, we missed it. If you go and find it, let us know!

This is a place where I normally take photos for honeymooners who want to have a memorable experience during their holiday in Bali.

Away from the hustle and bustle is Bali's exotic coast of Nusa Penida, where the waves crash wildly. Exploring this side of her is so breathtaking.

We woke up at 4am to drive for over an hour in the dark (we had a driver, so actually we just sat in the back falling asleep). The roads of Nusa Penida are very bumpy and we knocked our heads and bruised our bums a bit on the ride as we went clear across the island from the west coast to the east coast. Made it in time though.

We spent the whole day walking around this island - cliff jumping, drone flying, swimming. I went for a swim in that tiny blue pool you can see as well. Just around the point is the Blue Lagoon where I jumped off a 13m cliff - my highest jump yet. I was also able to film a pod of dolphins after snapping this photo. Bali is an incredible destination once you get out of the touristy areas.

Took this overview of the three Gili Islands (biggest Gili Air Island in front) with the DJI Mavic Pro. Stiched this panorama from over 40 images to get a high resolution finale photo.

Every evening, the skies above the village of Petulu in central Bali fill with Little Egrets, Cattle Egrets, and Javan Pond Herons as they arrive to roost overnight. Their numbers have been estimated to total 20,000. The Balinese believe that the birds are the spirits of the survivors of a massacre in 1965. That year, the villagers in Petulu took action to rid the village of negative energy by holding a ceremonial cleansing ceremony; a week later, the herons called “Kokokan” arrived for the first time ever and have rested there ever since.

According to a 2018 McKinsey report, China boasts 114 of the world’s 147 female, self-made billionaires (America has 14). And almost 50% more women hold professional or technical jobs for every 100 men in the Philippines. Asia is one of the most progressive regions for women, yet stereotypes of what Asian women are like and look like persist. BBH Singapore’s ‘See Different’ collection of images seeks to change that by showing the true diversity and personality of women across the Asian region. Photo by @jack_sutcliffe on Instagram.

This is the sacred Sanghyang Djaran. A classical Balinese performance, told through fire and trance dance. The barefoot horse man moves around and through a bonfire made from coconut husks, kicking and dancing in a state of trance. I was excited to travel to Indonesia to explore it’s abundant greenery and beautiful environments… I never knew I’d stumble across something this magical.

My girlfriend and I went to visit the iconic ‘Monkey Forest’ in Bali. When we arrived it was mayhem and chaos of monkeys running around, asking for attention and food. But in the middle of all the energy there was 1 monkey lying on a bench, playing and investigating a leaf. This is 4 of 4 shots where you can see how this little one investigates this leaf like he has never seen something like it before!
