Model Collaboration
We work together with established models (from various backgrounds) who are available for collaborative shoots. Models are carefully curated to suit the unique vibe of each retreat and are briefed beforehand and come with a range of outfits and looks to complement the setting. Photoshoots may range from portrait, swimwear to commercial-style shots, depending on their portfolio goals. We carefully select a mix of national and international models to make each retreat unforgettable. Check out the model lineup in the trip description for a preview.
Guided Experiences
Each trip is led by a experienced photographer who serves as guide and sparing partner. Our team understands both the technical and creative aspects of shooting in specific environments. They will assist in directing photoshoots, lighting setups, and providing tipps in achieving the best results at challenging conditions. Our support throughout the retreat together with the team spirit of each trip will help participants improve their skills and achieve their creative goals.
Small Group Size
Trips are kept small – typically no more than 5-7 photographers per trip. With two photographers per model (2:1) it makes the perfect balance between getting the shot without feeling rushed and an inspirational, collaborative atmosphere. This is not an event for the masses but quality time for you! All that allows for more focused interaction with the individual person, and gives everyone plenty opportunity to shoot in prime locations maximizing the quality of photoshoots.
Model Booking Services
Photographers can book additional one-on-one sessions with models for a fee (during shoot-free time)
Shooting Schedule and Excursions
Every shooting travel event includes a mix of golden light shoots (during sunrise/ sunset), editorial-styled sessions, and environmental portraits to diversify participants‘ portfolios. In the late evenings there may also be specialized mini workshops focusing on special topics. Also, in addition to daily scheduled model shoots we offer some free-shoot time for photographers to explore the local surroundings and capture their own unique images. In this context there may be optional organized excursions like sunrise hikes, city walks or cultural tours to provide even more individual shooting opportunities.
Photography Trip Packages
Each trip package includes accommodation, 3 meals per day, transportation to and from shooting locations and all model fees and guiding services.
Inspiration from Iconic Locations
Locations include remote beaches, lush rainforests, urban streets, mountaintop resorts, and historical architecture – handpicked for their aesthetic beauty and the visual impact they bring to photoshoots.
Networking Opportunities
Our retreats bring together many creatives and like-minded people including models, stylists, makeup artists, and photographers, fostering a collaborative environment that encourages networking and future collaborations. You will have the chance to build valuable relationships with other professionals, expanding your network and opening doors to new opportunities in the photography industry.
Photography Equipment
We offer you optional lighting equipment to use for free to ensure that all photographers have access to the best gear for any shoot.
Brands & Sponsorship
We collaborate with brands for fashion design, jewelry, lens manufacturers and camera accessoires that may benefit your experience with us through sponsorships or sample units. However we are not related/ assigned to these brands but maintain full independance.
Post-Trip Portfolio Building & Editing
We offer additional editing services and portfolio reviews to ensure that the best shots from your trip are polished and ready for professional use. Our expert team will help you select, edit, and refine your images, so you can showcase your work with confidence and walk away with a professional portfolio that highlights your talent and the incredible locations you’ve shot in.
