Madeira Island, with its mountainous terrain, lush vegetation and rugged coastline, offers a wide variety of photographic settings. The southern coast, with its pebble and sandy beaches and vibrant cities such as Funchal, is an ideal location for capturing urban and natural landscapes. Viewpoints such as Balcões and the highest mountains such as Pico do Areeiro and Pico do Ruivo offer stunning panoramic views. The island's natural beauty, with its waterfalls and Ponta de São Lourenço, also offers opportunities for natural landscape photography.
PHOTOGRAPHY LEADERS
Paulo Pereira
His first real machine was an analogue Minolta, acquired in 1992, which he still keeps religiously. With the switch to digital, his passion grew, systematically evolving and combining photography with his other passion, travel. With 39 countries in his curriculum, he combines his travel experience with photography, mastering not only the technical aspects of photography, but also the logistical aspects of travel. During his travels, he absorbed various knowledge from other international photographers with whom he shared great photographic moments, namely in Iceland and Scotland, countries that he chooses as dream destinations for any landscape photographer.
Miguel Mesquita
His passion for photography started in the late 90's, with a Pentax film camera, and he had his first digital camera in 2001, a Sony. More recently, he rediscovered his passion for landscape photography. Through his photographic journeys, he had the opportunity to photograph several European countries in different scenarios and seasons, improving his technique, even in the most demanding environments. In 2020, he joins the team of photographic leaders at Photo Details Workshops.

FAQs
What support will I have from photographic leaders?
Be aware that the leaders are not tour guides. However, by the knowledge of the places, they will provide the historical information related that they are aware of. The main job of the leaders is the organization of the trip, the management of the times and routes so that all can be in the right place at the right time. They will be 100% of the time with the participants.
Will I have some photographic support of the leaders?
A photo trip is not like a workshop where leaders are totally focused on the participants. In this trip, the leaders will photograph side by side with the participants, and share with the group the frames, composition and settings. They will be available to help those who need it.
The program mention that the transportation are included, will I have to drive?
No. All driving is assured. You just have to relax and enjoy the breathtaking views of the landscape.
The flight is not included in the package, but can I request photo details some booking help regarding my flight?
Photo details is not a tour operator, but in our travels we have a partner who will be happy to book your flight and make you a corresponding offer. It is up to you to choose our partner or personally deal with your usual travel agent.
What do I need to bring regarding photographic equipment, and what about clothing?
With your registration and booking, before the date of travel, you will be sent a detailed program where all these issues are addressed.
