Photo Walks 2023
Explore Mallorca with your camera!
Learn how to deal with light, depth of field, aperture and shutter speed. Understand the rules of composition and how to arrange the subjects in the scene.
Join our tutored photo walks on Saturdays. Explore great landscapes, learn how to increase the quality of your images, learn about nature, history and art history and bring stunning photos home. Be inspired in a small exclusive group of passionate photographers and make new friends on the island.
When you sign for these photo walks, you are supposed to have fun, relax and not be bombarded with hours of theoretical and complicated subjects. I know about how confusing and boring too much input can be. Don't worry! I will reduce the basic session to the information that directly relates to making you better photographers in a practical and commonsense way, so that you cannot wait to go out and put into practice what you have learned.
Get in Touch!!!!! We speak your language:
Spanish, German, English.

There is no guarantee of sunshine or blue sky, but hey, we are photographers and welcome clouds, fog, or if we are lucky, snow. We enter the woods when the day is rather overcast and discover textures and the pose of a single leaf, visit little villages and maybe take part in one of the patronal fiestas, and when it starts to rain, we can always find shelter in one of the many bodegas or local manufacturers and find interesting subjects for our lens.
As outdoor photographers, we have to adapt our program to the weather and light, get up early and stay out late to capture the light, so be prepared for long days.
Majorca has so much more to offer than the holiday resorts of Arenal and Magaluf. Those who have come to Majorca and explored the island in the past, always come back. You can find people taking pictures of the blue sea, beautiful sunsets, the very characteristic windmills, picturesque villages and the old town of Palma.
What is it that makes Mallorca a special place for photography?
Artists would answer, it's the light. And indeed, it was this very special feature that attracted visitors from all over Europe during the 19th century, when travel became more comfortable after the first steam boats began to carry passengers to the island on a regular basis in 1834.
Besides the light, Majorca offers a great variety of different types of landscapes. Alpine mountain ranges, hill country, fields and woods, wetlands, narrow coves and long beaches. It’s a paradise for nature photographers. Furthermore, you can explore these villages with their colourful markets, mingle with the locals in their fiestas, wander through Palma's narrow lanes or discover ancient Roman and Arabic remains in the historic center.
You will never get bored as each season has its highlights.
I have lived here for more than thirty years, and when I get out with my camera, I always discover something new, regardless of the time of year, the day, the weather or the light. Now I want to share my experiences and favourite places in Majorca with you.
What to bring?
The best camera is the one you always have in your pocket. Your mobile phone, DSLR Camera, mirrorless camera, your favourite lenses, tripod, walking shoes, back pack and a raincoat. (Bring your own laptop if you want to load your photos directly after shooting)
Given that outdoor photography sometimes needs a certain degree of physical fitness, we adapt our program to suit the needs of our participants. Please inform us when you sign up for a photo walk.
Price tutored Photo Walk: 50 € in small groups 150 individual.
