Photography Bootcamp in Spain: Intensive learning over an extended weekend

Bootcamp Chapters workshop in Spain with photographer Anja Ekstrøm

Photography Bootcamp in Spain: Intensive learning over an extended weekend:

I have always loved to deep dive in to learning photography. Developing my skills, playing with light, finding new angles and discovering how it all fits together. But one thing that has always held me back a bit from taking longer photography workshops is the time and money.

Let's be real - it's not always easy to tear an entire week out of your calendar, especially when you have a family, a job, and all the other things that come with adulthood. It can also feel like a huge financial drain to get pay that big amount all at once.

When I created Bootcamp Chapters, it was with one important thought in mind: How to develop as a photographer without having to take a whole week off from family and work ? and at the same time be economically accessible to more people?

I know that many people dream of attending photography workshops, but it can be difficult to fit it into everyday life – both in terms of time and finances. That's why I have developed Bootcamp Chapters, so you can put together your own learning journey, one chapter at a time, in a pace and environment that is easy to adapt to.

Photography learning in easy-to-understand chapters

Bootcamp Chapters consist of: short, intensive workshops starting Friday and ending Monday.You choose which Bootcamp Chapters you want to attend, depending on what you want to learn and in what order.

Maybe you're curious about working with light in natural settings? Or do you want to dive into how to style and plan a photoshoot from start to finish? You can take one chapter at a time – it's entirely up to you in what order you want to do it.

This flexibility makes it easier to balance your passion with family and work life, while it is financially more easy and reachable to save up for one workshop at a time.

Develop yourself and your photography without hitting "pause" on life

Bootcamp Chapters is designed to allow you to really dive in and treat yourself into developing your photographic skills and creative mind, without having to put the rest of your life on hold.An extended weekend is usually much easier to get off from work/family, than a whole week, and you'll come home full of new knowledge and inspiration – without feeling like you've been away too long.

I have experienced firsthand how difficult it can be to find time for longer workshops, and I know that many people face the same challenge. That is why it is important to me to create a format where you can build your own journey, take a break if it suits you, and return when you are ready for the next step.

For myself, I can feel that it makes a huge difference to know that I can go on a trip, and really immerse myself in my photography and still be back in everyday life quickly afterwards, without that feeling that you have created chaos at home or are really behind at work.

A personal journey that unfolds at your own pace

The great thing about Bootcamp Chapters is that you don't have to take everything at once. You can take a break after a chapter if life demands it, and then return when it suits your schedule again. You can tailor your learning based on your level and interests, and you are growing at the pace that feels right.

This means that photography can continue being your passion and not some "thing" to be squeezed into an already full calendar. You can go travelingt, learn new things, meet inspiring people, and take the next step when you're ready.

If you have been considering taking a photography workshop, but have had doubts about time and finances, then Bootcamp Chapters is really a brilliant way to do it without having to compromiseIt's learning and development on your terms – and that's exactly what I love about it.

The 5 Photographer Bootcamp Chapters:

Bootcamp Chapters – Mastering the Light:

Light is your most important tool as a photographer – but can you control it? In this chapter, you'll learn how to lightshape and harness the sun's light to create beautiful images regardless of the weather conditions.

You can "translate" this new knowledge into your own photography, because once you understand the structure of light/use of sunlight, you can create the perfect light every time and really take advantage of the opportunities you have.

Bootcamp Chapters – Working with Models:

Once you master the light, the next step is to master the communication with/to your models! This Bootcamp Chapter is about creating a safe and inspiring experience for the person you are photographing. This applies regardless of whether they are professional models or ordinary people in a portrait situation.

Bootcamp Chapters – Finding the perfect location:

The right location can turn a good photo into a great one! But what do you do if you don't know the area? Learn to see the possibilities around you – the coolest location might be just around the corner, if you just know what to look for.

Bootcamp Chapters – Styling for photoshoots:

Styling can make a huge difference to your image – but how do you put together the perfect styling that supports your vision and tells your story? Colors and textures – and even the genre and vibe – play a big role in your photos. They tell the overall story and set the agenda for your series.

Bootcamp Chapters – Small photoshoots vs. large productions:

How do you plan a shoot? Should it be a quick, spontaneous session or a well-planned, large production with big dresses, mood boards, professional models and impressive locations?

ALL this and much more can be found in Bootcamp Chapters – YOU choose which “pearls” you want on the chain and create your own photographic journey – I am your wingwoman all the way.

In addition to everything I have described above, there are SO many extra things that vary from team to team. The fantastic conversations across the table that can cover everything between heaven and earth, the cozy moments over a drink and a dinner, the magical moments where we all help each other on shoots to achieve the best results. Teamwork, Creative minds and just having fun in Spain

Why host Bootcamp Chapters in Spain?

In Spain, the weather is usually not an obstacle but rather a huge bonus for us to shoot in. The beautiful locations and colors/plants just make our photos magical and ooze high-end quality.

Of course, it can rain or be grey with heavy clouds, and if that happens, we'll embrace it - you can easily create magic with your camera on a cloudy day. If it's pouring down, we'll do something else that day.

You will quickly feel the magic of Spain, which will automatically ensure that your shoulders fall into place when you land to sunshine, palm trees and the taste of vacation.

Experience a fantastic extended weekend - if you want to know more, send me a text message on +45 25157676 and I will send you information, which is completely non-binding.
