Saturday, September 18th, 2010

Travel photography jobs are tons of fun! But not just anybody can just point and shoot a camera. So how can you be a good travel photographer and stand out from the crowd of camera wielding enthusiasts?

Taking up travel photography is more than just taking pictures. It is a passion for capturing beauty and there are intricacies in the craft that one can only learn through experience. Needless to say, travel photographers with lack of experience are amateurs. They will either have a hard time capturing pictures that are stunning, dealing with local culture, setting up their equipment for optimal results, or all three.

If you want to be travel photographer or just started to become one, this article can help. Let me share some things that can save you a lot of headaches and stress.

In your quest to take quality pictures in a foreign place, let this be your guide. Avoid these amateurish mistakes so you can monetize your passion for photography in a flash. Pun intended.

Travel Photography Job Mistake #1. Not Planning The Right Equipment To Bring

Remember to travel prepared but travel light. If you are traveling in a place where your goal is to capture beautiful landscapes, you should only bring the appropriate equipment for your goal. Bringing your complete set of equipment will only end up being a burden to your travel so why bring equipment you won’t really use?

Why should you hire a professional travel agent?

Why should you hire a professional travel agent?

Written by Marie Glodt Travel to Maui

 

In the age of the internet I am frequently asked “do people still use a travel agent?”

My response is “the smart ones do!” 

 

In my years in the travel industry I have found just because something looks good online doesn’t mean that it is going to actually look like that when you check in.

 

 I have noticed that the photos you see online are seldom what you can expect when you check in

Internet photos are frequently taken at “low tide” (when the beach looks empty of people and is at its largest point) or when the room has been recently renovated (but they don’t tell you that not all the rooms look like that, or that last renovation was 5 years ago).

 

As a travel professional I make it my job to actually tour, inspect and stay at every property we offer our clients.

 

Working with a travel expert who specializes in your destination will make your travel plans stress free and the vacation of a life time!

 

“Being a Hawaiian Destination Specialist, and a resident of  Maui, Hawaii allows me to know the best properties to fit your tastes and budget.”

 

“When creating your customized quote we work with the top rated discounted wholesalers to get you the best value on your travel package to Paradise.”
