Elena Garcia-Juan is a UK-based award-winning photographer.
Her personal work has been exhibited extensively both nationally and internationally and has been published in magazines and catalogues.
Elena’s professional work includes press photography, high-end retouching and photography tutor in adult education. She has taught and influenced the work of several photographers who share her passion.
In Elena’s words “…just like old ships logbooks, my photographs stir experiences and discoveries from my travels. The scenery changes – México, London, Valencia – as the ocean does, but as sailors know, everything stays connected by my own glance”.
