The Incredible Concoction.

 In one of my previous posts I had mentioned about how travel photography is made up of different forms of photography. I feel it is the best genre to explore, because you have so many options to choose from. When you visit a place, it is not just the landscape that you capture. As a travel photographer, we try to capture every single aspect of that place. By doing so, we can give our audience a feeling of actually seeing the place without visiting it and moreover we can provide them with our own perspectives of the world.

I will quickly run you through some of the genres of photography that often gets involved in Travel photography.

1.       Wildlife Photography

2.      Landscape Photography.

3.      Sports Photography.

4.      Astrophotography.

5.      Documentary Photography.

And the list can go on and on. This is one of the reasons I love Travel photography in particular. It is limitless and gives you immense freedom to explore your ideas and thoughts. Of course, it has some ground rules such as knowing your equipment, performing adequate researches etcetera but in terms of the tremendous amount of diversification and variation in the photographs you shoot, it is something which none of the other genres support when compared.

Wildlife photography is something which is extensively praised all around the world due to the time and effort that it takes to capture wildlife in its natural habitat. As a travel photographer you can go on to realize that there are millions of different species, some not even known to humankind. I feel that being close to wildlife can bring you close to nature but sometimes even to yourself. Moving on to landscape photography, which is also something that does the same. Beautiful landscapes often urge the wanderer inside us to travel a bit more. Sometimes it has an amazing influence even on people who are not photographers.

Sports photography, is something that has a touch of culture involved in it is what I think. For instance, the running of bulls in Pamplona, Spain is considered to be an extremely dangerous sport and even illegal in some countries but it is a part of their culture and traditions. Apart from that global scale matches are fun to visit as well. When it comes to Astrophotography which is basically capturing the night sky especially the celestial events, all credits to increasing urbanization, it has become extremely difficult to carry on that genre because of pollution. Documentary photography involves narrative photographs and photo essays that often has a theme.

Therefore, as beginners I would say explore to the maximum when you take up Travel photography because if you ask me, I would say this is the best of its kind.

Remember! Trust the process 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...
