“I was delighted to be able to attend a photographic workshop organised extremely well by gorgeous Ivana in castle Loucen. It was a wonderful experience as we not only met highly professional photographers and lovely models, but also discussed with them various strategies regarding what poses and backdrops would be ideal in diverse situations. The atmosphere was warm and friendly and the exchanges we had were most helpful. We also had great moments of relaxation and as a result of all this we made new friends and returned home enriched and with only one wish – to have another opportunity to experience again one of Ivana’s stellar workshop!”

“It was again a pleasure to join you and your team on this more than very good organized workshop (SAINT & SINNER). Every photographer should at least once in his lifetime book your professionality for a shooting or better during a workshop to see the difference between a hard working ‘real’ professional model and a ‘self-called’ professional model which is maybe only pretty! I love to work with you and I am looking forward for the next shooting!”

“I have attended Beauties of Switzerland session of Photoholidays. It has been a memorable experience which nicely combined three days of intensive photo activity with moments of relax and social activities. To put it into a nutshell, it provided an excellent chance of 'cross pollination' among photographers, which one can hardly get through a workshop or social media. The organization by Ivana, together with Christa and Reto, was excellent, and even able to adapt to some personal needs. I met wonderful people among photographers, models and organizers. There was a great atmosphere during the entire duration of the event. We all keep in touch through social media. I came back enriched not only as a photographer but also personally. Based on this experience I strongly recommend Photoholidays.”

"The Switzerland workshop was well organized: the locations were excellent, the timing was respected and transport was arranged. The models were professional, not needing constant guidance from the photographers (which works well in workshops, I think). I returned as a happy photographer! "

“Photoholidays kann man nur weiter empfehlen. Ivana ist eine perfekte Gastgeberin und Organisatorin mit Gespür für places und perfekte models.
Nicht zu vergessen, sie selbst ein Model der Extraklasse gerne immer wieder.”

“I had a great time, got amazing pictures, and learned a lot during the PHOTOHOLIDAYS workshop. The locations were inspiring and the models were beautiful, very professional, and enjoyable to work with. I would highly recommend future workshops and I hope to attend myself as well!”
Jan Valeur
Denmark, Copenhagen
"Participating in PHOTOHOLIDAYS was a very positive experience. The organization was good and professional and so was the information level about the arrangement. Working in small groups with just 2-3 photographers made it widely possible to work individually with each model to create the optimal image results. The models were all attractive, positive and experienced, and the possibility to book additional, private shoots in advance with them was super. Highly recommended arrangement!"
Mark Joyce

"The workshop in Brno was very well organized with interesting and varied locations for shooting with some excellent models. Good advice was always on hand - I certainly achieved my goal of learning more about lighting and came away with a renewed enthusiasm and many new ideas for future photography. Recommended."
Bruno Mostien
Belgium, Hoboken
“I will remember PHOTOHOLIDAYS as an opportunity to work with stunning models on different surprising locations, in private or together with a small bunch of photographers, sharing their skills, enjoying serious model photography.
The 4-day workshop was very well organized: a clear briefing, enough time to work with each model in different settings, coaching by professionals (PRIOLITE), delicious food and drinks in between the shooting, convenient transport to and from the locations, a nice wellness-hotel to stay.
The program Ivana prepared for this event surpassed my expectations. After the workshop I went home with just one question: When are we going to do this again?”

„PHOTOHOLIDAYS were quite an experience! Nice locations with various level of difficulty. It was possible to test out shooting in an illuminated studio as well as in dark wine cellar. Organizational-wise the PHOTOHOLIDAYS went well without any hitch. Come to PHOTOHOLIDAYS and enjoy yourselves. You will meet beautiful models and a perfect organizer - the gorgeous Ivana!“

„I have been working in modeling on international level since 2010. Within those years I got many opportunities to pose on workshops & photography retreats all around the world and met lot of interesting people. Some of them inspired me and others gave me a perfect example of what to avoid.
I am positive, sociable and ambitious person who likes creativity and fun but also order, precise work and focus on detail. I believe this balance is important not only in oranization & photography but in succesful life in general.
I love what I do and I always try to do the best I can!
I’m happy to guide you on the journey through new experiences, education and creation.“
