Day 1 – May 29
After an evening arrival at the Madeira airport, we will travel together to our home base. We will arrive at our villa around 9 pm – after which we will go to a welcome dinner, where we will discuss in detail the plan for the whole trip
Day 2 – May 30
Day two is already workshop time. We will start with a short presentation and discuss:
- Aperture, depth, focal length, time – topics that you know well, but nevertheless worth repeating before going outdoors(this step is often skipped if the group does not need it)
- Awakening creativity-an exercise to help you change your thinking about making your frames
- Stages of creating a creative image – what, how and when to photograph to get a consistent result
- Working on oneself – motivation for self-development, influence of chosen goals on further photographic activities
- Working with the customer – finding balance in negotiations
- Portfolio – discussing several of my works, which will be the basis for learning how to create compositions
- Social media – some tips on how to manage your photographer profile
After a short break we will go to the first outdoor session
- Preparation of the session plan and the stages of work with the model
- A few words about emotions – what we want to show and how to work with the model for future cooperation
- A joint session in the open air, exploring perspective, light and color
Day 3 – May 31
For Wednesday I have planned a trip for you to the eastern part of the island. After breakfast, we’ll hop in the car and travel together to some of the most interesting places in the region.
Day 4 – June 1
After the first intense days of the outing, it was time for a rest. On day four we can do whatever we feel like – we can relax on the beach, experience a calming walk or play games together. of course, nothing prevents you from having your camera with you on this day as well 😉

Day 5 – June 2
On Friday we will focus strictly on processing our frames.
This is the day in which we put an intensive study of retouching.
All our time is devoted to the secrets of post-production, your questions and completion of the issues of the previous day.
- Photo selection in Adobe LR
- Selection of the best shots and their brief discussion
- Post-production in Adobe Photoshop CC and CR
.
Day 6 – June 3
It’s time for another trip together. We pack into our vehicle and set off – this time to the western part of the island
Day 7 – June 4
Free time – after so many adventures it’s good to relax a bit. During this time we can take some photos together, organize one more session – or…. go on one more trip. In fact, everything depends on us.
Day 8 – June 5
Unfortunately – as they say – all good things come to an end quickly. Day 6 is the time to return. Around 8 o’clock – just after breakfast – we will pack up our vehicle and head to the airport. At the farewell, we shed some tears – but not too many – because, after all, this outing is just the beginning of our photographic acquaintance
