Signature Experience

VIP Day

Full-day island experience · Unlimited photos

We spend the whole day together. No schedule, no shot list. Your day on Madeira, photographed as it happens. We stop where the light is good. We eat somewhere with a view. If you want a rooftop cocktail, we find one. If you want a black-sand beach with no one on it, I know where to go. What comes back is not a session. It's a record of a real day.

Mihail Zhelezniak showing photos to clients on a rocky beach in Madeira at sunset

Funchal-based. 4 years on this island.

Eighteen years with a camera. A decade of that on tropical islands, shooting couples and families from every part of the world. Then Madeira happened, and I stopped looking for anywhere else.

The light here is unlike anywhere I've shot. It pulls rich color out of a scene without oversaturating, and keeps faces natural without going flat.

About Mihail →
"Mihail is a phenomenal photographer. Not only will you receive beautiful photos that you'll cherish for a lifetime, but you'll also have an amazing experience during the photo session itself. He comes prepared with creative ideas and isn't afraid to gently guide and adjust poses to ensure the best possible results. His local expertise is invaluable, he knows exactly where and when to meet to capture stunning photos with the perfect lighting and scenery. In addition to beautiful family portraits, he captured candid moments like our feet in the water and our baby playing with my hair. Those unexpected shots have become some of our favorites because they tell the story of our family so naturally and beautifully."

"Mihail deserves far more than a five-star review. He photographed our wedding and was incredibly patient throughout the entire process. Communication and coordination with him were smooth and effortless. Since Madeira was new to us, he also suggested beautiful spots for capturing stunning photos. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a photographer who can truly enhance and preserve life's special memories."
