Description

Are you ready for a week of photography, where creativity is given free rein? At this 8-day photographer bootcamp, you will learn new techniques to increase your quality and know-how as a photographer. You will have the opportunity to explore your passion for photography in photoshoots with professional models, in the most spectacular Spanish locations. Here, only the imagination sets the limits! 

The bootcamp is carefully planned to give you an unforgettable experience, full of learning and hands-on experience. We will shoot Fashion and Beauty with a focus on controlling sunlight using scrims and reflectors, as well as mixing natural light with artificial light. These are techniques that will really upgrade your skills and can be "translated" and used in your everyday photography. I will teach exactly the methods and techniques that have helped me to be recognized as a professional photographer, and of course I will share my personal experiences from life as an independent photographer.

But it doesn't stop there. We also need to freshen up your portfolio, so that you get fantastic new photos to take home – photos with just the right international touch, which will make your photos stand out and in the long run attract exclusive customers. In addition to improving your techniques, you'll also build a network of like-minded creative photographers and perhaps make friendships and professional connections that will last a lifetime.

What can you expect?

This week is a perfect mix of intensive teaching, hands on learning on photoshoots and a bit of relaxation. A "loose program" is planned, where there is also room for sightseeing, own photoshoots or simply just relaxing in the beautiful area where we live. Even if you come to learn and create new images, there is also plenty of opportunity to experience Spain and enjoy a well-deserved break. Most often, the middle of the day is free and suitable for your own adventures – unless the program dictates otherwise.

As a wonderful end to the bootcamp, you will receive a beautiful diploma as proof that you have participated and completed this intensive and educational week.

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 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.
