Barcelona Boudoir Workshop, Valeria Galán

Elevate Your Income: Luxury Boudoir Workshop With Valeria Galán

Something fascinating happened in Berlin this year.

As conversations flowed throughout Way Up North, one theme kept emerging: boudoir photography is becoming a significant revenue stream for wedding photographers.

While Way Up North has traditionally been wedding-focused, we’ve always celebrated the diverse talents of our community. And when so many of you expressed interest in expanding your boudoir skills, we knew it was time to respond.

Introducing Our Exclusive Boudoir Masterclass

We’re thrilled to announce our first-ever English language luxury boudoir workshop in Barcelona on June 17th, led by one of the industry’s most sought-after educators.

Meet Your Host: Valeria Galán

When Valeria attended Way Up North Berlin as a guest, we were immediately captivated by her exceptional charisma and approach to boudoir photography. As founder of the renowned “Art of Boudoir,” Valeria has built a reputation for creating sophisticated, elegant imagery that transforms how couples see themselves.

With over a decade of experience, Valeria has:

  • Photographed clients across Europe, Asia, and the Americas
  • Developed a signature style that blends fine art aesthetics with raw emotion
  • Mastered the art of making non-models feel comfortable and beautiful
  • Built a thriving business centered on luxury boudoir experiences

This workshop is proudly sponsored by Wooden Banana Albums, who understand that real profit in boudoir photography comes down to two words: album sales.

Each workshop guest will receive a complimentary album featuring images from the day – giving you a beautiful sample of their craftsmanship to show future clients. During the workshop, Valeria Galán will share how albums have become the cornerstone of her business profitability, and how you can implement the same strategies.

And to keep you energised throughout our day? Wooden Banana is generously covering lunch for all participants.
