TRAVEL MASTERCLASS

FAR FROM HOME

For a professional photographer, every trip is an investment. Planning ahead will help ensure a smooth and fun shoot that should pay for itself

Travel has been somewhat restricted over the past couple of years, so it’s with a sense of cautious optimism that we can look forward to the freedom to explore the world with a camera once again. Travel photography is a popular genre for good reason – such images allow the viewer to immerse themselves in far-off places they may never be able to visit, while gaining an education in the cultures and customs of these exotic destinations.

There is, however, a common misinterpretation of what defines travel imagery, and what separates it from other forms of image-making. Though it incorporates elements from landscape photography, architecture, street shooting and portraiture, a cursory glance at the main photo-sharing platforms reveals a misunderstanding of what the genre actually entails. Many shots on 500px or Instagram that are tagged as ‘travel’ don’t fully embody the spirit of this unique style of imagery.

Simply capturing a picture of a place you’ve travelled to, or a shot of a local, does not make it fit the category. Conversely, it’s possible to capture the essence of a travel image just five minutes’ walk from your home.
