The Experience

This project invites photography enthousiasts and/or hobbyists to help with my photography project. The project includes helping out with my photography course and/or creating a portfolio (mainly oriented on advertising touristic trips in Crete). Particularly, I am interested in the following three domains: a) photography experts to share their knowledge/techniques, b) good-looking individuals/couples to model, c) social media experts/influencers

The host was respectful and flexible. He chose locations according to my likings. I didn't like hiking, and wanted to do beach destinations. Also the work flow is not heavy, it was 2 days out of my 9 days stay, which left plenty of room for me to discover crete. This opportunity is perfect for a solo independent traveler. Especially that the host has other job/commitments. Which worked perfectly fine for me and my personal discovery. The house location is 15mins from the center, and there is a public transportation within a 15mins walk. I would recommend this experience

I stayed here in Crete for 12 days and it was personally a good place to really relax during the week the host would go to work so you can just explore the downtown city he would also bring in lunch for you and dinner everyday unless you just decide you'd like to eat somewhere else on your own time. This is also a nice work exchange if you're very open minded about photography and very used to being on camera!

My time in Rethymno was so nice, I loved getting to work with Argyris on his photography project we had a great time getting to explore the island. He was very nice and generous, I would definitely recommend this project to anyone who is photogenic or has experience in photography.
