Rethymno artwork

Helping out on a photography project in Crete can be an incredible experience! 🌅📸 The island, with its stunning landscapes, crystal-clear beaches 🌊🏖️ and rich cultural heritage 🏛️, offers a perfect setting for capturing stunning images. 📷✨

I am working on my photography/videography skills to develop a personal portfolio for artistic purposes. So the goal is to practice my skills but also create some exemplar material. It would be great to connect with individuals that can help with that, either sharing their knowledge and experience (if any) or just cooperating. The project relates to producing material in beautiful natural environments (beach/forestry area, sightseeing).

It was really nice and uncomplicated yet I didn't stay long. Rethymno is a nice City but also the whole area is very beautiful. I really recommend the Host, he was very kind and easy going.

I didn’t feel comfortable.first day we agreed that I’ll share stories later and post in last 2 days but he kept resisting even though I didn’t like the pics he chose but after an argument he sent them all 1000 pics and then I shared the two posts. He’s a couchsurfing style host more than worldpacker. He is expecting more than volunteering, not a good recommendation for girls who doesn’t know anything about modeling cs as someone work in industry this job cost more than 500€ and he thinks he’s giving you more than u deserve. He told me it’s better not to say anything bad cs he’ll “shit” too :)

1)Thanx for clarifying what kind of volunteers I don't want! If anyone thinks their pics value 1000E (her words), please don’t apply :) Btw if you calc what you saved it was >500 2)u actually posted my edited pics that u said u didn’t like before (u later commented that u liked), hence cancelling your own argument (facts) 3) yes,I try to avoid exchanging 'shit’ that would hinder volunteers from future travels, so I gave u a last chance,but your aggressive stance rather deserved my 1st negative

Doing this project in Rethymno was short but great! RNP is very easy going, no fixed schedule, very welcoming and made sure I have everything I need & more. We exchanged a lot of ideas, got some nice shots on beautiful beaches and gorges - felt like a mix of supporting the host’s photography journey and discovering beautiful Crete. A good choice if you’re after an inspiring volunteering opportunity.

Volunteering in Greece was easygoing and informal, with no set schedule. I spent many days exploring Rethymno’s beaches on my own. On days we took photos, we visited beaches, villages, and trails. It's a home stay and a daily meal was included, and I enjoyed lots of downtime. It felt less like a project and more like supporting the host’s photography studies and business. The Couchsurfing-style approach meant flexible but uncertain plans. Ideal for those wanting a laid-back stay. Happy to answer questions! 💛

My experience at the RNP Photography Project in Rethymno, Crete was fantastic! The host was warm, helpful, and respectful of our space, yet always up for great conversations. The food was lovely, the sunsets from the balcony were unforgettable, and we had plenty of chances to be creative and collaborate on photography. He also took us to some amazing spots around Crete, making the whole experience truly special.
If you’re looking for a creative and inspiring volunteering opportunity in a beautiful setting, I highly recommend this project!✨☺️
