I have been to many photo events, both in the US and internationally. Ilvy’s event was among the best, perhaps the best, I have ever been to. The models were exquisite, talented and cooperative. The promised chef-level cuisine was actually that, and the accommodations excellent. All in all it was one of the most sophisticated shoots available.

I attended my first Ilvy event in Latvia recently and I was glad that I did. Everything was well set up and organized by Ilvy and Rudolfs. The locations – two manor houses and a castle - were all different and all were interesting, with many great spots for creating images. The models were all very good, as well. We had plenty of time to photograph, both indoors and outdoors, mostly on an individual basis but also in groups of two and four models. I’ve attended many photo events over the years and this one was certainly among the best. I’m looking forward to attending my next Ilvy event soon.
To sum it up, an experience to be repeated without any doubts.

I've had the pleasure of attending 3 Ilvy Photo Art events. Ilvy really cares about the experience of the photographers and the models. Her curation of great locations with top models puts the photographer in the position to get portfolio worthy shots every shoot. The accommodations and food are consistently excellent and the shooting schedule is well thought out. I'll be back for more events!
