Do you want to see how much fun it is? Watch this video ;)

You will take part in a 7-DAY EPIC PHOTO IMMERSION that will help you improve every aspect of your photography.

Everything!

From inspiration, planning with PhotoPills, shooting and post-processing to managing your social networks (Instagram and Facebook). And even the way you manage your photography business, if that’s your interest.

And if there’s something more specific that you’d like to learn, please let us know. We’ll do our best to help you!

The Camp is hosted in Menorca, our headquarters in Spain. A small paradise island lost in the midst of the Mediterranean Sea.

It’s no coincidence that Menorca has been known as the “Island of Light” since long before the Roman Empire. It’s a kind of a mystical place where time goes slow and inspiration flows spontaneously.

Along with Romans, Ottomans and Muslims, many ancient cultures have fought for its treasures. Nowadays, the Island quietly waits to be discovered. Only a few have the privilege to enjoy this nature sanctuary:

The dark sky, ravines, caves, rock formations, wetlands, isles, lighthouses, 1,500+ archeological sites, dune systems, beaches with white sand and crystal clear waters, where a rich population of plants and wildlife thrives, including a few endemic species...

And you’ll be experiencing the island the way we do, the way the islanders do. You’ll feel like a local, not like a tourist.

Simply mix Menorca’s gems with some of the best easy going photography masters, a jam-packed into the field and straight to the point class schedule (on creativity, planning, shooting, post-processing, social networks & business), multiple photo escapes to our secret locations, the delicious Menorcan cuisine, amazing beaches, hikes and boat trips, night picnics, coffee talks, party moments and catching up with old and new friends, and finally add the distinctive PhotoPills fun flavour... and you get the perfect cocktail.

Your days will be full of learning, adventure, aha moments and meaningful connections!

Welcome to the PhotoPills Camp

60 PhotoPillers | 14 PhotoPills Masters | 1 Island | 7 Fun-filled days of Learning and Adventure

The PhotoPills Camp is a celebration of photography. And the particular way we PhotoPillers live this passion:

Side by side, connecting with each other, learning from each other, always positive, always at the right place, at the right time to capture the scenes we’ve imagined, to tell the stories we wanna tell. Always hunting all those legendary moments that nature serves everyday but nobody sees. Our goosebumps moments!

Take the best parts of summer camp as a kid and add a powerfully supportive Tribe cheering you on as you...

Get inspired by the same natural positive energy that has inspired so many people before. Artists (Mike Oldfield, Hans Hartung, Joaquín Sabina...), writers, designers and entrepreneurs (Manel Adell, Martin Varsavsky...) before. People who were drawn to Menorca for its wide open spaces and its relaxed unself-consciousness.
Shooting multiple photo opportunities in our best secret locations (lighthouses, rock formations, wild beaches, megalithic monuments, natural arches, abandoned buildings…) during the best light moments and under the dark sky. You’ll be trying all sort of different photo techniques and styles (Milky Way, panoramas, timelapse, Star Trails, Moon, long exposures with filters, portrait in landscape, brenizer, infrared, and more). How does it work? You’ll have to wait! It’s a surprise :P
Improve any aspect of your photography the fun way. You’ll be taking short and straight to the point learning pills not in a classroom but in the field. We don’t like long and boring classes. We want to help you improve the fun way: shooting!
Learn face to face with the best Masters (and the best people) completely immersed in nature, on the beach, under the trees, while sailing the sea or riding along the magnificent Camí des Cavalls, an ancient coastal trail for horses that encircles the island. We’ll make sure you’re far away from exhaust pipes and grey concrete walls.
Create meaningful connections. You’ll have the opportunity to connect with everyone, well-known leader photographers like Sharon Vanadia or Josh Cripps, and other PhotoPillers like you and me.
Devour healthy food and some of the best Menorca’s traditional cuisine (including its famous lobster). I promise, you will not easily forget the lunch you’re going to have on Saturday May 23rd (just to mention one!).
Turn into a PhotoPills Master. You’ll gain the power to look into the future to find the right shooting spot and shooting time the scenes you imagine happen. We’ll make sure you learn to harness all the power and capabilities of PhotoPills.
Post-process your images assisted by a Master. What about post-processing the Milky Way with Jess Santos or Sapna Reddy?
Master the art of social networks, so you consistently grow your own tribe of fans on Instagram (and Facebook). There’ll be many moments during the day (coffee times, dinner times, game times) to talk and learn about any topic that interests you.

By the end of this experience, your connection with the island will be so deep, you won't remember how you got to the island nor when. You’ll start feeling a bit Menorcan.

This is the PhotoPills Camp, the PhotoPillers’ hideout from this hectic world.

Day 1. Sunday, May 17th - Welcome to the Island of Light

The PhotoPills Camp begins with your arrival at Menorca Airport where you’ll board the FlyBus to the Artiem Audax Hotel, located on the beautiful beach of Cala Galdana, our headquarters during the Camp!

Once there, we’ll be super happy to welcome you. Can’t wait to give you the PhotoPills Camp Welcome Kit :)

Flying to Menorca is easiest from Barcelona (40min flight), with Madrid the second best option (1h 15min) and Mallorca (15min), the third one. Check the following airlines: iberia.com, vueling.com, ryanair.com.

You can also fly to Menorca from major European cities like London or Paris (2h flight).

Please book your flights to Menorca as soon as possible, the island is very popular.

If you’re flying on May 17th or before, please, let us know and we’ll help you with your hotel booking. In this case, you’ll also get the FlyBus transfer to your hotel.

2:00 pm

Check-in starts at 2pm. In case you arrive earlier, your luggage will be kept safe in a storage room.

It’s time to start exploring the Camp: the beach, the swimming pool or the Blue Café & Lounge.

Sure, you’ll meet other PhotoPillers and the Masters. Albert Dros, Francesco Gola and the other PhotoPills Masters will be already there.

Make sure to check-in before 4:00 pm. You don’t want to miss what’s going to happen next!

And there is no better way to restore energy after a long trip than relaxing in the Blue Spa. The Camp includes a 90-minute thermal circuit. So, why not enjoying it just after checking-in?

4:00 pm

The action begins!

We'll meet at the Inspiration Room (conference room), where we'll handle you the Welcome Kit and make the initial introductions.

Right afterwards, the inspiration talk will begin. The PhotoPills Masters will share their work with us and the tricks they use to find inspiration.

Finally, we (the PhotoPills team) will take over to explain the plan for the week, the logistics and the locations you'll be shooting.

7:30 pm

We’ll meet at THE VIEW Pool Bar at the Artiem Audax where we’ll enjoy a tasty traditional Menorcan picnic-dinner called “Sa Bereneta”.

8:22 pm

The golden hour begins. It’s a good idea to bring your camera and tripod. We’ll be enjoying the natural light and the sea colors until the blue hour ends at 9:25 pm. Sunset is at 8:54 pm.

10:00 pm

Time to rest!

We’ll pack everything and start our journey back to the hotel, where a comfortable bed awaits.

Tomorrow... we'll get up for sunrise!

Day 2. Monday, May 18th - The Milky Way Quest

5:00 am

Optional sunrise shot for the brave ones. At 6:25 am, there is a beautiful sunrise happening in Cavalleria lighthouse. Who is in?

8:00 am

Breakfast! From 8:00 to 9:30 am, a delicious breakfast is served at the Oliva restaurant: fresh orange juice, fruit, coffee and a large variety of healthy food to choose from.

9:30 am

Every day, many things will be happening from 9:30 am to 1:30 pm at the Camp.

Throughout the morning you’ll be taking the learning pills (on inspiration, composition, planning, shooting, post-processing, social networks or business), chilling around the Camp or simply taking a few more hours of well deserved sleep.

Our goal is to release a close-to-final schedule of activities one month before the Camp.

2:00 pm

The lunch at the Artiem Audax is a different story every day. Only one thing is granted: abundant high quality and healthy food. Well, there’ll be things that are not that healthy too :P

3:00 pm

Siesta time! You’re in Spain, remember?

4:00 pm

Every afternoon, starting at 4pm, many activities will take place. From post-processing workshops and photo-review sessions to PhotoPills planning classes!

7:00 pm

Time to shoot!

To make sure that you have the best experience possible shooting on location and learning with the Masters, we'll make 4 groups of 12-13 PhotoPillers (yellow, blue, red and black... the 4 colors of PhotoPills).

Each group will take a bus to a different location with 3 Masters and 2 members of the PhotoPills Team.

One group will go to Favàritx lighthouse, another to Pregonda beach, another to la Mola and another to the natural arch of Es Pont d'En Gil.

During the week, you'll rotate locations and Masters. This way you'll have the opportunity to learn from all the Masters in all our favorite locations!

Let's imagine that you're in the Yellow team!

Today, you'll be shooting with Francesco Gola, Albert Dros and Roksolana Baran.

You'll take the bus to Favàritx, probably one of the most amazing locations in Menorca. It feels like being on the Moon in this place. We love shooting the Milky Way here!

With a height of 33m, the construction of the Favàritx lighthouse was necessary after three shipwrecks: the "Ville de Rome" in 1898, the "Isaac Perey" in 1906, and the "General Chanzy" in 1910.

Its construction began in July 1917, but several problems such as the lack of funds and the claims from the former land owner delayed the works until September 22, 1922, when it was finally inaugurated.

8:14 pm

Golden hour begins! From the very first moment you get off the bus at 7:30 pm till the end of the blue hour at 9:25 pm, you’ll have the opportunity to shoot many nice scenes including the sunset at 9:03 pm.

In all the shooting escapes, the modus operandis will be the same. Together with the Masters, we’ve imagined and planned many awesome shots in each one of the locations.

We want you to experiment with all sorts of situations and techniques. With the support of the Masters and the other PhotoPillers of your group, you’ll be turning ideas into real photos… all kinds of ideas (some of them pretty crazy and creative)!

10:00 pm

We’ll sit under the stars and enjoy the picnic the chef at the Artiem Audax will have prepared for us.

11:00 pm

The astronomical twilight ends. It’s nighttime. The thin Moon (6.3%) sets at 11:29 pm. And the Galactic Center has started to be visible in the south-east. The night shooting is about to begin.

With the help of the Masters, you’ll be shooting different photo opportunities including a panorama of the Milky Way arching above the Favàritx lighthouse.

2:00 am

Bus back to the Camp. Time to go to bed.

List of photos

Sunrise in Cavalleria: Sunrise by the lighthouse, long exposures with filters of seascapes, sunrise from inside a cave.
Golden hour and blue hour in Favàritx: Sunset, long exposures with filters of seascapes, textures and patterns.
Night sky in Favàrtix: Milky Way, panorama, light painting, night portrait, bokeh, star trails and timelapse.

Today you'll shoot with Jess Santos, David Swindler, Eric Paré and Kim Henry.

You'll join your group and take the bus to Binimel·la. Once there, there is a 30-minute walk through a breathtaking landscape to Cala Pregonda.

Pregonda is famous for having appeared twice as the cover image of Mike Oldfield’s album Incantations (photos by Carlos Moyse and Sús Camps).

It’s a long beach, flanked by dunes and green fields, with reddish gold sand and pink rocks – creating the effect of a Martian landscape.

A few tiny islands just off shore protect the bay from the northerly winds, so the sea is usually millpond-still and crystalline.

8:16 pm

Golden hour begins!

And you’ll be in one of the most powerful and colorful locations on the island.

The photo opportunities here are huge: seascape, long exposures, panoramas, night shots, timelapse and... why not shooting original scenes with a model.

Again, with the support of the Masters and the other PhotoPillers of your group, you’ll be turning ideas into real photos. And there are a lot of photos to be taken here.

10:00 pm

Picnic time!

11:00 pm

The astronomical twilight ends and the Milky Way will start arching above the landscape. It’s a perfect time to take positions for an awesome panorama, some hypnotic Star Trails and even a Milky Way time lapse.

And there’s almost no Moon (13.5%)!

Moonset is at 12:30 am.

2:00 am

Bus back to the Camp.

List of photos

Golden hour and blue hour in Cala Pregonda: portrait, long exposure with filters, seascapes, patterns and macro.

7:00 pm

Today is a very special day.

You'll have 4 locations to choose from. All different, all amazing.

Option 1: A hike to the virgin beaches of Macarella and Macarelleta

After a 40-minute hike from the hotel, you'll find two of the most beautiful beaches in Menorca: Macarella and Macarelleta. The goal is to shoot a timelapse of the Sun setting above the beach of Macarelleta.

Option 2: The famous Elephant rock

This is one of Germán's (the developer of PhotoPills) spots for photographing the sunset. The good news is that on May 20th the Sun is setting completely aligned with the Elephant rock, a natural rock formation with the shape of an elephant.

Option 3: Artrutx Ligthhouse

Artrutx Lighthouse is great for Sunset shots. Get closer to the lighthouse and use a wide angle lens. Or get away from it and use a telephoto lens.

Option 4: The lights of Ciutadella

Ah! Ciutadella, our hometown!

Founded by the Carthaginias, Ciutadella is known for its beautiful port, old quarter and medieval streets filled with palaces, churches and fortresses.

Photographing the harbor during the blue hour is just magical.

9:30 pm

Today the plan is to have dinner together at the hotel. So, we'll take the bus back around 9:30pm.

10:15 pm

Dinner at the hotel.

List of photos

Golden hour and blue hour in Artrutx Lighthouse: Sunset next to the lighthouse.
Golden hour and blue hour in Cala Morell: Sunset aligned with the Elephant rock, long exposures with filters and seascapes.

5:00 am

Optional sunrise shot for the brave ones. At 6:22 am, there is a beautiful sunrise happening in Favàritx lighthouse. Who is in?

8:00 am

Breakfast is served from 8:00 to 9:30 am at the Oliva restaurant.

9:30 am

A close-to-final schedule will be released one month before the Camp.

2:00 pm

Lunch time at the Artiem Audax.

3:00 pm

Afternoon activities: post-process your photos with the help of a Master, have your photos reviewed by a Master or enjoy a photography planning workshop!

7:00 pm

Today you'll shoot with Josh Cripps, Michael Myers and Antoni Cladera.

You'll join your group and take the bus to Es Pont d'En Gil, our favorite natural arch. There is a 15-minute walk from the parking lot to the natural arch.

The golden hour begins at 8:19 pm and the sunset is at 8:58 pm. Here, you’ll have the opportunity to capture the beautiful seascapes and the dramatic colors of the rock formation.

As usual, with the support of the Masters and the other PhotoPillers of your group, you’ll turn ideas into real photos.

Afterwards, and before dinner, the bus will take us to the next destination: Sa Naveta des Tudons.

10:00 pm

We’ll have a nice night picnic by one of the oldest megalithic chamber tombs in Europe (1400 - 1000 BC).

Sa Naveta des Tudons is one of the most emblematic talayotic monuments of Menorca due to its excellent state of conservation, and because navetas are a type of funerary constructions unique to the island.

Its shape like an upturned ship (nave in Spanish) gives it its name of naveta, and it was built using the cyclopean technique typical of the era. Basically, assembling medium-sized stones without mortar. Group burials took place inside, and during excavations a hundred individuals were found, accompanied by grave ware and small pots where offerings were deposited during funerary rites.

It's a perfect place to photograph the Milky Way and Star Trails. The perfect place to connect the ancient stars with a piece of history.

11:00 pm

The astronomical twilight ends. Time to enjoy shooting the night sky and the stone construction in multiple different ways.

We’ll have some Moon (32.4%), but it won’t be a problem.

And yes, the Milky Way is arching above the tomb!

2:00 am

Bus back to the Camp. Time to go to bed.

List of photos

Sunrise with the Favàritx lighthouse from Cala Presili.
Golden hour and blue hour in Es Pont d'En Gil: seascapes and drone.
Night sky in Sa Naveta des Tudons: Milky Way arching above the chamber tomb and a circumpolar image.

Your group will board the bus to La Mola, where a short 5-minute walk along the Horse Trail will lead you to a stunning rocky beach featuring a striking sea stack. The Sun will be setting in the opposite direction, which means you'll need to be creative with your composition to make the most of this incredible location.

Tip: This is the perfect spot to experiment with long exposures and capture the drama of the sea and sky!

Golden hour begins at 8:17 pm, with sunset at 9:16 pm. With guidance from the Masters and the shared insights of your fellow PhotoPillers, you'll transform your ideas into captivating photographs.

10:00 pm

Picnic time! We'll have dinner on the beach.

Jokes, fairy tales and songs are allowed!

11:30 pm

Alcalfar Tower, or Torre d'Alcalfar, is a historic coastal defense tower located on the southeastern tip of Menorca, near the small village of Alcalfar.

Built in the late 18th century during the British occupation of Menorca, the tower was part of a network of fortifications designed to protect the island from potential naval attacks.

Perched on a cliff overlooking the Mediterranean Sea, Alcalfar Tower offers stunning panoramic views of the surrounding coastline and the sea.

Its cylindrical shape and solid stone structure are typical of the defense towers built during this era.

The astronomical twilight ends. And the Galactic Center begins to be visible in the south-east. We’ll have a Moon (43.3%) that we can use as side light.

You'll have multiple different photo opportunities including light painting, Milky Way and Star Trails.

Day 7. Saturday, May 23rd - The Secret

If you think you’ve seen it all, think twice!

May 23rd is going to be one of those days you’ll remember for the rest of your life.

Curious?

It’s a secret, a big surprise.

You’ll have to be there with us. You’ll have to wait! :P

Day 8. Sunday, May 24th - The Farewell

9:00 am

You open your eyes...

A soft beam of light is pleasantly heating your skin.

"Where am I?"

Don’t worry, you’re safe.

You’re still lying on the bed in one of the comfortable rooms of the Artiem Audax. The bed next to yours is empty and messy. Michael, your roommate, is already gone.

"What a strange feeling..."

Everything seems like a dream now, blurry in your mind.

The day you arrived in this little island seems so far away now. So far away in time that you can hardly remember how you got here nor when.

Clumsily, you walk to the window, you want to enjoy the beautiful view of Cala Galdana one last time.

Slowly, you pull the curtains back as you start feeling a bit Menorcan.

12:00 pm

It’s time to say farewell!

After enjoying your last breakfast at the Camp, when you feel ready to hit the road again, you’ll get a transfer to the airport for departure… Unless, of course, you’ve decided you don’t want to leave, which wouldn’t be surprising at all.

Your squad of easy going Masters

Whether you are looking to masterPhotoPills once and for all, get some advice on your shooting and post-processing workflow, or learn a new skill like shooting the Milky Way, Star trails, Meteor Showers, Moon, Sunrises & Sunsets, Long Exposure with Filters, Timelapse, Panoramas, Wildlife, Portrait or Macro...

Or maybe you want to learn how to consistently grow your followers and engagement on Instagram and Facebook. Or even learn how to make a living doing what you love most: photography.

In any case, we’ve assembled a team of Masters unlike anything before.

Their lives are driven by their passion for photography and helping others.

Here’s your squad of Masters!

Mike Meyers (Landscape, Cityscape & Astrophotography)

Wind-swept city skylines, dramatic skies, and the silent allure of star-strewn nights, Mike Meyers is the Chicago-based photographer whose work spans the gritty energy of urban landscapes and the delicate beauty of the cosmos. A proud Sony Alpha Ambassador, Mike blends technical mastery with artistic sensitivity to reveal the hidden poetry in everyday scenes.

His ability to move fluidly between daytime architecture and nighttime astrophotography creates a visual dialogue between the pulse of the city and the calm of the skies above.

Mike is recognized for his creative ingenuity, turning nature atmospheres into visual emotions and sharing tips to help other photographers make the most of the camera that’s always with them.

At PhotoPills Camp, Mike will guide you through seamless transitions between landscape and night photography, offering insights on choosing the right gear, mastering light in all forms, and bringing dynamism to your compositions. You'll learn how to anticipate weather drama, fine-tune exposure for stars and city lights, and craft compelling timelapses that tell stories.

Sharon Vanadia (Wildlife & Environmental Photography)

Biologist, conservation advocate, and wildlife storyteller, Sharon Vanadia brings the patience of a researcher and the heart of an artist to every image. Hailing from Rome and holding a PhD in Environmental Biology, Sharon has seamlessly woven her passions for biodiversity and photography into a career that spans the globe.

Sharon first fell in love with photography at age 14, but it was only after earning her degree in 2021 that she fully merged her conservation mission with her craft. Her work is driven by a deep empathy for the natural world… and the unpredictable magic of wildlife. She’s known to spend countless hours in silence, listening, waiting… eager for that one fleeting moment when wild animals reveal their true selves. Sharon doesn’t just capture images, she inspires.

At PhotoPills Camp, Sharon brings her unique blend of scientific insight and artistic vision.

Here’s what the PhotoPillers have to say about the PhotoPills Camp:

“If you're looking for an adventure with like minded passionate photographers then you have to go to PhotoPills Camp.

Menorca is in the other side of the world from New Zealand and it takes a long time to get here but so worth it. It's a truly beautiful place with many gorgeous locations that are perfect for shooting.

I really enjoyed the workshops. The Masters were a diverse group, covering many genres. They were so full of knowledge and eager to share it with us.

One of the best things about the PhotoPills Camp was the people we met and have stayed in touch with since. We had so many laughs together and people went out of their way to support each other.

Thanks so much to the PhotoPills team for such an organized and efficient camp full of inspiring people and locations. We were so well looked after I didn't want to leave.”

“The PhotoPills Camp was a great experience at all levels. Truly! It was a once in a lifetime photography experience for me. Rafael and Germán are two of the best people you would ever want to meet, always available to answer questions and passionate about helping you create great photos.

If you love photography find a way to run, swim or fly to the beautiful island of Menorca, Spain. You will create stunning photos and leave with better memories (and a bunch new friends). The PhotoPills team rocks!”

"I have been a professional photographer for 38 years in press and media, but decided to take up landscape photography four years ago as a way to reconnect with my passion for photography in a new way. Like any new venture I sought out the best talent and information I could find on the internet.

Naturally I have the invaluable PhotoPills App that helps me enormously with all the information and features packed into it.

The PhotoPills Camp was an amazing week that exceeded all my expectations. I met with amazing people who I had only been aware from through the internet. And the amount of skills and information I acquired in just a week was phenomenal. The Camp was held at an excellent top quality hotel with a fantastic menu and very friendly atmosphere. Nothing seemed too much trouble for the hotel and the wonderful PhotoPills team.

In just the space of a week, I made many new friends and acquaintances who share a passion I love and enjoy... I could not recommend the experience highly enough.

I can't remember the week before or the week after, but I will never forget the week of the PhotoPills Camp in Menorca….mind blowing!"

“The PhotoPills Camp, what a great time! I learned so much from so many Masters, I made so many new friends from all around the world and had the time of my life, all on the Island paradise called Menorca. The only downside is that it ended and I had to go home. I'm excited to try so many different things that I have learned and it has improved my photographic techniques tremendously. I can't recommend it enough.”

"The PhotoPills Camp was wonderful, way beyond my expectations!

I enjoyed the variety of the program; presentations by renowned Masters were very interesting and inspiring. And the lectures about the PhotoPills App were most useful. The photographic advice and assistance we got in the field was very valuable and much appreciated.

I truly enjoyed the beautiful landscapes of Menorca we were taken to and the friendly and fun atmosphere of the Camp. Managing such a large group of people was certainly challenging but the PhotoPills team went out of their way to have things running as smoothly as possible. I was very much inspired by everyone’s enthusiasm for photography, learned a ton and came home with a memorable experience."
