The real problem
Experience alone does not create a style
Many photographers reach a level where technique is no longer the challenge. And yet their images still lack impact and clarity.
Without conscious reflection and an understanding of image dynamics, development quickly turns into repetition instead of progress. The ShootingDAYS address exactly that gap: they sharpen perception, intention and creative leadership, so you move from phase 2 to phase 3.
Your development
The Three Phases of a Photographer
Most photographers get stuck in phase 2. The ShootingDAYS take you to phase 3.
Creative leadership
It’s not about subjects. It’s about leadership.
The ShootingDAYS are not about ticking off new locations or producing as much content as possible. They are about consciously shaping situations, guiding emotional dynamics and creating images with intention and clarity.
You learn to take responsibility within the creative process, with HIPS, model leading and storytelling.
Intensity creates clarity
The ShootingDAYS are intentionally limited to four photographers. Not as a marketing concept, but because real development requires focus, responsibility and continuous practice.
Every participant works with their own model. Nobody waits, nobody shares the set. You shoot intensively in a 1:1 structure and still benefit from the group: in every image analysis you see how the others solved the same situation, and you learn from their decisions as much as from your own.
The schedule
Three days that change the way you see
I adapt the order of the shoots flexibly to the weather and light.
Arrival evening
Arrive & get to know each other
Dinner together in Porto Petro: getting to know each other, relaxed conversation and an introduction to the ShootingDAYS.
Day 1
System & image direction
Theory on HIPS, model leading, storytelling and a structured posing workflow. Then shooting with live coaching, image analysis and feedback. In the evening: night shooting with available light and targeted flash.
Day 2
Space, movement & light
Outdoor shooting: composition between model and surroundings, leading lines, perspective and series photography. In the evening a beach shooting with movement, fashion and first backlight shots.
Day 3
Understand light & complete your series
Sunrise beach shooting in backlight, image analysis and in the evening a sunset shooting in the golden hour, aiming for your final image series. We finish with a farewell dinner together.
Night shoot
City fashion shoot
Beach shoot
Sunrise shoot

Shooting genres
At the ShootingDAYS you photograph in these genres:
- Fashion
- Bikini & swimwear
- Lingerie
- Implied nude: sensual and lightly covered, intimate areas are never visible
Nude photography is generally not part of the ShootingDAYS. Exceptions are only possible by prior arrangement with the respective model. Respect for the models and their boundaries comes first at every shoot.
What stays
Progress begins after the shoot.
The most significant development does not happen while shooting, but in the way you perceive and understand your images afterwards. You learn to analyse image series, recognise subtle differences in impact and draw clear conclusions for your future work. That makes you independent in the long run.
The place
Mallorca as a reduced creative environment
Mallorca is not merely a backdrop, but a consciously chosen setting. Clear light, calm structures and a reduced environment create ideal conditions for focused work.
The ShootingDAYS take place in the southeast of the island around Santanyí and Porto Petro. The distance from everyday life gives you a clearer view of your own creative process.
What participants say
“The intensive program and 1:1 coaching helped me take my photography to the next level.”
Pankitsch, Bali
“Marcus taught me how to use dynamic photography purposefully. It noticeably improved both the quality of my images and my personal development.”
Markus, Switzerland
“The combination of intensive collaboration, personal guidance and clear feedback creates real development. What I found especially valuable was working consciously with people in front of the camera.”
Carsten, Germany
“Marcus recognises exactly where you stand and moves you forward in a structured way. I gained enormous confidence in working with models, the camera and image impact.”
Isabell, Germany
Your application
Free image analysis & consultation
Every participation starts with a free consultation and an analysis of your images. As your coach, I need to know where you stand and what I can change for you.
Anyone without shooting experience with models would be overwhelmed at the ShootingDAYS. That’s why I don’t accept everyone. In our call, I tell you clearly and directly where you stand and what you would need to change.
Even if it’s not the right fit, you’ll know exactly what to work on.
