Program Details

This is a focused four-week creative collaboration with one experienced photographer. Before arrival, we will agree on a shot list and expected deliverables. The project will cover our cottages, gardens, pool, common areas and selected Camotes Island destinations. We also want short videos for social media and organized high-resolution and web-ready files.

We provide a private room, equipped kitchen, fast Starlink internet, workspace, laundry and pickup from the Camotes port. Volunteers purchase and prepare most of their own food, although we may occasionally share meals. We will provide transportation and agreed entrance fees for project-related island photography.

Applicants must bring their own camera, computer and editing software. Drone experience is welcome but not required.


Activities & Shift

The schedule is approximately 20 hours per week across four flexible project days, with three days off. Activities include planning the shot list, photographing the property, visiting selected island destinations, creating short vertical videos, editing images and videos, organizing files and reviewing progress with the host.

Some photography may take place around sunrise or sunset. The schedule may change because of weather and lighting. Travel time for agreed photography trips counts toward project hours. During the final week, all completed files will be organized, backed up and transferred to the host.
