Intensive Photography Bootcamp in Spain with photographer Anja Ekstrøm

Intensive Photography Bootcamp in Spain · Spring 2027

Learn to see the picture before you take it.

A good photo starts long before you press the shutter button.

It starts with being able to see the light. See the possibilities in a location; others might just pass by. See what needs to be changed, and understand why some images work, while others just become… images.

In five intensive days in Spain, I will not only help you create amazing photos.

I want to teach you how to find and create them yourself.

Description

Five days that will change the way you look at things

We create amazing images, we learn a lot and we have fun while doing it – nobody says that learning has to be boring!

We have professional models, styling and shooting at some of the locations in the Málaga area, which I myself love to work on.

This is not a workshop where everything is set up for you so that you can press the button and take a nice photo home. This is a workshop where your new knowledge can be translated into your own everyday life:

I teach you how to create beautiful images yourself – I teach you to understand and see the image before you lift the camera

We work with light, positioning, composition, storytelling, and creative direction, but at least as much with all the decisions that lie in between.

Why are we moving the model half a meter? Why does the light work here and not two meters further away? What do we see when we arrive at a location? How do we find the right angle? And how do we go from an idea in our head to a finished image?

You’ll get a lot of hands-on training, try new things, be lovingly and creatively challenged, and receive personal feedback along the way.

We have a maximum of 6 participants, so there is plenty of time to work on it personalized guidance, your level, and what you would like to become better at.

You will get that

  • 5 intensive days of fashion and beauty
  • Professional models
  • My thoughts on styling
  • Selected locations in the Málaga area
  • Personalized instruction, sparring, and feedback every day
  • Max. 6 participants
  • Accommodation and breakfast included
  • Networking with other creative photographers
  • A stronger portfolio and lots of new photos

But the most important thing you need to take home can't be stored on a hard drive.

My “hand on heart mission” is:

  • That you “see” differently when you return home than when you came.
  • That you feel your confidence growing and that you have seen the magic happen.
  • The next time you are alone with your camera, you will be more likely to find the image, make the decisions, and trust what you see.
  • That you look forward to starting to play yourself

Because then you have not only learned how to create the images we create together in Spain. Then you have learned something that you can use to create your own aftertaste.

FAQ - Frequently asked questions

If you do not find the answer you are looking for, you are always welcome to contact us

You must bring a camera and everything that goes with it, batteries, cables, memory cards, etc. If you shoot tethered, you must also bring what you need for this. MAKE SURE YOU HAVE EVERYTHING CHARGED AND READY.

ALL can participate.

As long as you have a check on the use of your camera and do not expect a deeper technical breakdown from the class, you can easily participate.

You get training and ideas before it's your turn to photograph and you get in the degree upgraded your portfolio and new knowledge within SO many areas of photography and entrepreneurship

All the models are super experienced – some of them even make a living from being a model.

Everyone has a beautiful basic makeup that really pops on camera - all to give you the coolest experience and beautiful photos.

The models will typically be English speaking and they are all SO nice and helpful if you are nervous

No - you must provide the transfer ticket yourself - in return there is accommodation and partial catering.

The price also includes the planned models, transport, teaching etc. so you really get value for money!

Before you book the flight, wait for the green light from Anja if the workshop has reached the required number of participants OR that you are ordering a refundable ticket.

Hell yeah!! But Not full catering – there will be the ingredients and remedies to make a light breakfast (bread, eggs, fruit) 

There are no servants, so we make breakfast ourselves, either together or individually

Lunch, snacks and dinners are at your own expense.

You get an 8-day fantastic photo journey for both soul and photography

This is a "once in a lifetime" trip, as one of the former students says

(Days 1 and 8 are travel days)

You will experience a perfect symbiosis between theory and practice. We start the day with a bit of theory where I talk about my own experiences, come up with tips/tricks etc.

This is followed by you watching me shoot live with a model, so you see theory put into practice. Then it's your turn to be behind the camera

See the program for further information, but be aware that the program is an example and can be changed along the way depending on the weather etc.

Along the way, you will update your portfolio with some beautiful high-end images in exclusive surroundings, you will create a network for life.

You learn something along the way while there is space and free time to enjoy Spain.

The perfect Workcation (which can be deducted in your company)

No. Since the content of the bootcamp is dedicated to you who participate and because you will also see unreleased material, video recordings are not included.

Fun times and backstage video are allowed as long as nothing from the class is shown - remember, however, that EVERYONE who participates must be OK with being filmed.

Photography is permitted during the course, as long as it does not show the content of the lesson being presented.

It is SO cool to have a lot of "backstage/mood pictures" and I would love to receive them all from you afterwards.

As I am constantly documenting the trips for future advertising for this type of bootcamp, you must be OK with the fact that you will appear on visual material and video.

It is material that will be used on social media and my websites etc. to promote this bootcamp.

YES YES! We're upgrading your portfolio, so FINALLY show them off! It should be mentioned that the images may be used for display on So-Me (Instagram, Facebook, photo groups, etc.) as well as LinkedIn and your own website.

Sales, publications in brochures, magazines, etc. as well as competitions etc. is NOT the intent of the images from the bootcamp and is not allowed.

Crediting of teams is always mandatory and you will be told who is to be credited each time.

No, not at all – it will all be presented at the Bootcamp itself, where you will get a lot of options and ideas.

Creativity is NOT going to be in short supply at all

YOU just have to concentrate on planning your actual trip and booking/paying for your place at the bootcamp - I'll do the rest.

Yes, of course you can. We cater for most financial situations and fully understand that a full payment can be a lot at once.

It is possible to pay the full amount, or split the payment into up to 5 instalments.

If installment payment is desired, this must be agreed directly with Anja Ekstrøm

*minimum 1 payment must take place when ordering, to ensure you have got your place at the bootcamp

See the program for more specific info.

It is possible to join a pick-up that will be at the airport at a very specific time. It's about being there ON TIME because we don't wait.

When you don't take the bus or you just want to drive solo, you can easily show up directly at the address 2 hours after we have picked you up at the airport.

We already start the program on the same day (albeit very gently), so make sure you arrive on the day of arrival within the arrival time frame.

  • Remember to have a valid passport

  • Remember to have the insurances you need

  • Remember to update yourself about Covid19 restrictions in the country in question

  • Remember to have it BLUE health insurance certificate (order it online)

  • Remember sunscreen etc

  • Remember to inform about any allergens etc. to Anja/assistant asap after registration

  • Remember that the flight ticket is NOT included in the price

  • Remember to let us know if you are going on shuttle transport, which is very specifically booked.

  • Remember to be PUNCTUAL - in all respects on this trip

  • Remember that I am NOT a tour operator, so it is therefore important that you take care of the necessary insurance etc. yourself.

  • REMEMBER TO ENJOY IT! We create MAGIC!

I haven't (yet) managed to control the weather, so of course I can't guarantee sunny days in the pictures - but as long as the weather stays dry we can make cool atmospheric pictures.

If the weather gods give us rain against expectations, we try to rebook the shoot or find alternative solutions and locations.

Either way, you'll get fantastic photos home!

There is no right of return as this is a service and not a physical product.

Your registration is binding and your place is only confirmed when payment has been received.

If the bootcamp (against all expectations) should be cancelled, your payment will of course be refunded in full.
