Bali Beach

Apr 27

Bali. My first visit shooting stock was in May.

As a holiday destination, it ticked a lot of boxes – the South-East Asian food and lifestyle, the chaos and the calm. It’s an easy place to take photos, the Balinese are photogenic, friendly and not too pushy. Photographically, there’s lots to shoot – temples, monkeys and culture and more.

One of our favourite hangouts was the beach at Seminyak, which stretches south to busier beaches of Legian and Kuta, full of walkers and joggers, cafes, sunbathers and beanbag sunset watchers.

Early every morning the beach is cleaned of rubbish left from the previous day – gangs of workers combing up refuse and tractors pulling mechanical brushes to keep the beaches in pristine condition. Unfortunately as soon as the tide comes in it repopulates with seaborne refuse. I was fascinated by the detritus left behind.

I wouldn’t usually shoot on my iPhone but using it to create this little collection of photos really worked in this instance!

Here is a sample of only 100m stretch of beach – interesting stuff.

Hi, I’m Kim and I work with a great team to help individuals, as well as small and not so small businesses get their message, product and services to the world using digital media and creating wonderful websites that don’t cost the earth.

I was born in Canada, and grew up around Vancouver and the mountains of British Columbia. My love of pristine environments led me to New Zealand and eventually to the mountains, lakes and rivers of the central North Island which is home. My family’s heritage is here, and it’s from here that Korio traverses the planet.

The digital world is never static and neither are we.

And I say ‘we’ because I work with an awesome group of talented people who I gather together as required to complete a project. Whatever your business, not-for-profit or individual needs are we gather the best team to get the job done.

Collaboratively we are creative, share sustainable values and work hard for great outcomes because that’s the buzz of satisfaction that drives us.

If you have an audience and market to reach, we can make that happen. Creative design, words that work and smart behind the scenes stuff that cuts through the online noise. We’ll design your website and then build it. We’ll manage the content as well as all your hosting needs. We can handle your online advertising so you get noticed,
and we’ll manage your social media presence so you get the clicks, likes and engagement to grow your business. All within the budget you set, because none of this needs to cost the earth. And the job doesn’t stop when your website goes live. We are your virtual business partner.
