a collaborative experience

Join me, Elena Givone, in hosting an in-person workshop that brings passionate photographers together to learn, connect, and grow.

With years of international experience—collaborating with NGOs, opening photography schools in Sri Lanka, Brazil, and India, and working as a Fujifilm and Elinchrom brand ambassador—I’ve developed a unique approach to storytelling and creative photography.

My work has been exhibited in major museums and featured in international magazines such as Elle and Time. Together, let’s inspire your community to push their creative boundaries.

why host a workshop?

  • Tailored content: Custom workshops focused on portrait, family, maternity, newborn, or fine art photography.

  • Hands-on Learning: Practical sessions on lighting, composition, and storytelling.

  • Creative Inspiration: Techniques to integrate emotion and artistry into every shot.

  • Community Building: Foster collaboration and lasting connections among photographers.

No matter where you are, I’m ready to travel to your location and create an enriching experience for your local photography community!

let’s work together!

Whether you’re a studio, a gallery, or an individual passionate about photography, hosting a workshop is the perfect way to inspire and uplift your community!

Fujifilm and Elinchrom have appointed me the privilege of serving as their ambassador, a role that aligns with my passion for storytelling and creativity. As an internationally acclaimed photographer with over 20 years of experience, I bring a global perspective to every speaking engagement—whether curating exhibitions across continents or mentoring new talent at Milan’s Istituto Italiano di Fotografia.

My journey isn’t just about photography—it’s about using art to connect, empower, and transform. Through projects like Scent of Life, I’ve raised awareness for children's rights by blending visual storytelling with advocacy, showcasing the profound impact of imagination and compassion.
