Madeira Event 2024 was another incredible chapter in the story of Ilvy PhotoArt Events. This year, we once again gathered a talented group of photographers and models to explore the island’s dramatic and diverse landscapes. Every detail of the event came together to create an inspiring and productive experience for everyone involved.

​

One of the most memorable locations was the foggy forest, where the dense mist wrapped the trees in an almost otherworldly atmosphere. Despite the cold and damp conditions, the models—Kalopsiah, Manya Muse, Darias Dreamland, and myself—delivered extraordinary poses, turning every shot into a work of art. The weather added a big challenge, but it also gave us a chance to create some truly magical images.

​

This year, we also ventured to a new and unforgettable location—a Martian-like landscape. With its striking red terrain and rugged cliffs overlooking the ocean, it felt like stepping onto another planet. The conditions there were windy and dusty, but that only added to the dramatic energy of the photos. It was a reminder of how much the natural environment can shape the mood and style of an image.

​

Our home base was a luxurious villa that offered both comfort and beauty. With private ocean access, a serene pool, and panoramic views, it became not just a place to rest but also a creative space in its own right. The villa provided the perfect balance of relaxation and inspiration, allowing everyone to recharge and prepare for each day’s shoots.

 

Group size made it possible to connect deeply and work closely, fostering creativity and collaboration. Photographers had the opportunity to shoot one-on-one with the models, as well as explore dynamic duo and group quartet setups. These moments of experimentation and teamwork were some of the most rewarding of the entire experience.

​

Looking back, Madeira Event 2024 was a celebration of artistry, resilience, and the power of collaboration. The images created were breathtaking, and the bonds formed will stay with us for a long time. It was a reminder of why I love organizing events like these—bringing together passionate people to create something extraordinary.

Take a look at the incredible work produced by the participants, as well as some behind-the-scenes moments and a special movie that captures the highlights of the event. I hope you’ll feel the magic of Madeira through these reflections and images as much as we did while creating them.
