Travel Photography : A Basic Sketch.

New York City.

I am 18 years old and like any other person who is my age I want to explore the world. How does a girl from a middle-class family such as I do that? Travelling can be expensive so I figured Travel Photography might be an
option.

 I am still in the process of learning and haven’t taken it up as a profession but I think I might someday. What more could you ask for when you can travel and get paid for it? I know it is easier said than done. So, as obvious as it seems my blogs will be about Travel Photography/ Videography.

Seeing new places, experiencing a variety of cultures and try out all the exotic cuisines from around the world will be an amazing experience. As the saying goes “Travelling leaves you speechless and then turns you into a story teller”.

 



Photograph worth 4.3 Million dollars.

Did you know the highest anyone has ever paid for a photograph is 4.3 Million dollars? It was paid for a picture taken by Andreas Gursky who is known for landscape photography. I’m not saying I can make a million dollars by being a travel photographer but shoot for the moon and you might land among the stars, right?

Honestly, I don’t believe that you need expensive   gears to take good pictures. At least to an extent you   don’t. As a beginner I think the first thing one should   focus on is getting the idea right. The way you can   make something creative out of every shot-that’s   what matters. You may not be able to capture breath-   taking photos in the start for obvious reasons but   that’s how we learn. Isn’t it?

Take that camera. Go out that door. Trust the process   and repeat until you get that one “Perfect shot”.

Stay tuned for more content.

High-end cameras : a necessity or not?

 Most of us have a misconception that to become a photographer in general we need expensive gadgets/gears. Well, I am here to tell you that it’s not true. Of course, if you are planning to take up professional photography you do need high-end cameras but if you’re a beginner just entering the world of photography I don’t recommend purchasing all those costly cameras. Source : Pinterest. Source : Pinterest. I think one of the best things about Travel photography is that you can capture the world in it’s purest form. When you are doing a portrait photoshoot or still life photoshoot you will need extra lighting gears, tripods and so on to get the best of what is in front of you but when you are a travel photographer, I think the natural instinct is to capture the moment, in it’s raw form. When you are capturing moments out of the studio, you are depicting the real world without any extra lighting or set-ups. It is just you, your camera and the whole wide world in front of you. ...

To all the Photographer's out there....

Source: Pinterest.  It has been an amazing journey that helped me discover new aspects of travel photography myself when trying to write blogs about them. Travel photography is definitely something that can help you understand the world in it’s true form. I tried to give you an insight into the world of Travel Photography by writing about topics that are very crucial. For instance: The concepts from which the photograph stems from. The idea is certainly what drives your style of expressing and your attitude towards the subject. The photograph can be of anything or anyone but what truly matters is what you are trying to convey through the picture. The subject on which it is built upon clearly reflects your perception of the world to the audience. Ideas can be invented through experience. As time passes, you will be able to discover better and better thoughts about how to portray the world in an improved manner. Source: Pinterest.  I talked about how Expensive gadgets are ce...

Ideas and Travel photography!

Image
Source : Pinterest   Ideas are everything, right? They shape the world. Ideas are the reason for the world to change, for good. But, in the realm of photography, it tends to be the opposite. Most of the time, it shows you the exact form of the world rather than a modified from. It portrays the world for what it is.  In Travel photography, getting the right ideas can help you depict what the world is or what it can be. It’s your choice to go further with either of them.  Source : Pinterest The famous photographer Dorothea Lange  once said “Photography takes an instant out of time, altering life by holding it still”. I have always found this idea wonderful. When you capture a photograph, you freeze time. In a way, you do. It might be the tiniest things that can make the biggest impacts. Whatever you see can be forgotten after a while, but whatever you capture will always be a part of your memory forever. The concept/idea on the basis of which you captured the sho...
