“Working with Dan and Elena through Wide Angle Creative / Japan 2024 was a deeply valuable experience to me. The days were full and well planned. I appreciated the culturally inspired, daily assignments. To me, the most enriching aspect was the 1 on 1 mentorship - taking time with both Dan and Elena to better understand myself as a photographer / artist, and what makes for truly evocative imagery. If you are looking to grow as a photographer and have memorable travel experiences, I recommend Wide Angle Creative.” - Lucas, Vancouver, Canada

​“Just like the first workshop I did with Elena, I really felt free to create in a way that nurtures something I too often neglect. I learned so much from Elena and Dan and the others, just seeing how each person brings so much of themselves into the photographic process. The group was great as was the whole experience. The workshop was a great balance of photography with cultural exposure. …my memories of the trip will be of the intimate human moments, time spent with the group sharing experiences, and the Japanese artisans who shared their crafts with us.” - Marina, Montreal, Canada
 

The workshop struck a fine balance of being efficiently organized, diverse and well-paced, but we were also granted the freedom and time to explore on our own and pursue our personal curiosity. Having access to Elena’s knowledge and lifelong connection with Albania was such a privilege. This afforded us access to secret locations, local people and the fascinating food and culture of Albania... Overall, I came away impressed, challenged, and eager to continue developing my photography."  - Sam, Brighton, UK
