“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 Berlin-Hamburg photo workshop was a week to remember. First, the team of Elena and Dan is as good as it gets; professional, always accessible, and pushing you forward with your photography in an atmosphere of humor and laughs. And most importantly, great human beings. This was not a photo tour of the tourists spots, which was a big relief. A few guest appearances, interesting visits and surprise assignments added a je ne sais quoi dimension. I have now regained my creative momentum as a result of this workshop. And with a few new friends. Oh yes, there were of course cool boutique hotels, nice restaurants and memorable social moments every day. A+
