Madeira

september 14 to 19 2026 ‍ ‍SOLD OUT

Guided by Mario Valkenborg

Join me on an unforgettable 6-day photography workshop through the breathtaking landscapes of Madeira, often referred to as the Island of Eternal Spring. From dramatic sea cliffs and ancient laurel forests to cascading waterfalls, rugged coastlines, and spectacular mountain peaks above the clouds, Madeira offers an incredible variety of photographic opportunities.

Designed for photographers of all experience levels, this workshop combines inspiring locations with personal guidance in a relaxed, small-group setting. Together we’ll explore not only the technical aspects of landscape photography but also the creative process of finding compelling compositions, working with light, and telling a story through your images. Whether you’re capturing sweeping panoramas or intimate details, you’ll receive individual support tailored to your photographic vision.

Every day has been carefully planned to make the most of the island’s ever-changing light and weather conditions. We photograph during the best hours of the day, allowing you to experience unforgettable sunrises, dramatic coastal scenery, mystical forests, and breathtaking mountain vistas. Between shooting sessions, there is time to relax, enjoy Madeira’s excellent cuisine, and share experiences with like-minded photographers.

With comfortable accommodation, carefully selected locations, and all transportation throughout the workshop arranged, you can focus entirely on what matters most—creating memorable images while enjoying one of Europe’s most spectacular islands.

Whether you’re looking to improve your photography, expand your portfolio, or simply experience Madeira in a unique way, this workshop promises an inspiring adventure you’ll never forget.
