Personal branding photographer in Ibiza

Plenty of people whose work is on Ibiza sell the island along with themselves: the yoga teacher, the private chef, the villa manager, the event producer, the therapist with a practice in a finca. Their pictures need two things at once, the person and the place, and the place has to look like the island they actually work on rather than a postcard of it. That is what the two locations are for. One is where the work happens, a kitchen, a studio, a terrace; the other is the setting clients are buying into, a whitewashed lane in Dalt Vila or a stretch of west coast. The three looks run across both. The real constraint is the calendar: from June on, nobody who lives off the season has a free morning, so this is a spring job.

When to book in Ibiza

Spring is the season for it. By April the island starts to reopen, the light is clean and not yet harsh, and those whose work depends on the summer still have free mornings. By June that time is gone. Plan the three hours around the light of your second location: an early start if it is Dalt Vila, a late afternoon one if it is the west coast, with the workspace done in the other half. Midday outdoors is the hour to avoid at any time of year, as the whitewash throws the sun back into faces. If spring is impossible, late October is the second window, quieter and with lower light.
