Background of travel photography

Travel photography has took the last ten years by storm and it continues to grow providing amazing images for the global tourism industry, which is now worth over $1 trillion. We can see daily an ocean of travel photography being loaded to social media such as Instagram and Pinterest, so why is it this market continues to rocket upwards?

It is clear more and more people are taking the skies to new destinations and with this people want to know what they’re expecting to find, what are they’re going to see and can they put together a mind visual before landing at their destination (Well I do). Therefore, travel photography provides us with images of hotels, restaurants, events, attractions, landscape, wildlife and much much more. As we can see it is an exciting industry and luck for us, the sea of wonderful and useful imagery just keeps flooding on to our screens.

Travel Photography

Just let me share with you I am not expert in travel photography. However, I do appreciate the industry and I am growing my knowledge and skills as you read this, I am sharing with you some great imagery and the travel photography as a quick overview.

If you see yourself as the next KEN KAMINESKY then chase your dream, but and it is a BIG but, you have to weigh up the hard work that will come with it. What I mean is, you can’t expect to take a flight to somewhere like the Maldives, take a few pictures and expect to get paid a fortune.

However, if you are ready for a wonderful life of imagery, new places and inspirational trips then GO for it! I am 🙂
