DEVELOP INTERESTS

Give some thought to what you really find interesting; it will help you work more purposefully. For some photographers, it’s all about big spectacles and drama. Others are drawn to local food, clothing or architecture. For me, it’s about small gestures, conservations and intimate moments, whether they’re playful, touching or serious. Be original: it’s far more interesting than taking travel photos that look like everyone else’s.

Travel photography is a way to learn more about the world. Exploring what people think and believe, and their attitude to life, love, work, family and religion, is fascinating to me.
