travel photography tips

1. Take Pictures In Context. 

Whatever you portray, whether it's a person, an object, a landscape or a food, getting some details that give you little background information or directions to your location can help make your picture come alive. That's not to say that every New York shot needs to have a Empire State Building floating in the background, but some indications of everyday culture can give the impression of the average impact it needs to be great.

2. Try Your Hand At Different Locations.

Light, for example, in the Mediterranean, is completely different from the light in Norway. Practicing your photography techniques in different climates will help you hone your skills. And if you're struggling to find your way out to fit your budget, take a look at some of the Thomas Cook holiday packages available from your local high travel agency. Or go online and look for cheap flights to save your next travel destination.

3. Remember That People Are Not Tourist Attractions. 

It is often tempting to photograph the locals as if they are a landmark; however, naively this is naive, it is also an arrogant and rather rude approach to subject-based photography. Obviously, language barriers can make it difficult to engage your chosen subject in any profound conversation before you take it, but a gesture asking for permission, or any exchange, will at least help break the ice. Furthermore, isolating your subject by making them feel like a tourist spot does not promote classy photography. Interacting with the subject before you click can help turn your photo into an exchange of cultural exchanges, a cross-cultural communication fragment.
