Madeira Event

About

Held on the beautiful Madeira Island, our recent photography event was a great success, full of creativity and exploration. As both a model and organizer, I was thrilled with how everything came together. We hosted two consecutive events, each with four models (Naomi Kollar, Bella Ballerina, Shira NuBallet, and Ilvy Kokomo) and four photographers. The venue, a luxurious villa with a private beach, set the perfect stage for our adventure.

We started our shoots at the villa, which had a large surrounding garden and private access to the ocean. The surroundings, both inside and outside the villa, provided a stunning backdrop for our work. One of the highlights was shooting at the rugged cliffs on the east side of the island, which added a dramatic touch to our photos.

Unfortunately, wildfires caused the first group to miss out on the Foggy Forest, as safety had to come first. But they didn’t miss the chance to create amazing images at the villa. The second group, however, made it to the Foggy Forest. Despite the tricky weather, their creativity stood out, resulting in stunning photos that captured the spirit of the forest. Photographers experimented with different shooting setups, from solo to duos and quartets, bringing fresh energy to their work.

Throughout the event, there was a relaxed and fun atmosphere, with everyone sharing a love for photography. Our Madeira event was a memorable experience, filled with creativity, new friendships, and beautiful moments that will stay with us.
