Printed Photo Books Can Help You Capture the Sense of a Place
Travel photography is all about the landscape, architecture and people of a place; after your trip, why not capture your experience in a printed photo book that documents a sense of place?
(source)Possibly the most influential factor in the character of a location is the people who live there. The way they look and dress, the way they carry themselves, the lifestyle they live and the customs they observe. Is there a particular piece of clothing that defines them? Or maybe a certain characteristic. For example, if they are known to be happy and smiling people, show them as such. If they are known to be hardworking, try to include some shots of workers.
While the process of capturing the photographs that will go into your printed photo book will, on some levels, be unique to your work as a travel photographer and on other levels will be unique to your vision and the knowledge and experiences that you take with you when you visit a place, it’s not the only place where your vision will show.
When you create printed photo books, you’ll find that you’re able to show others a place as you saw it.
If you identify yourself as a professional travel photographer, you already know that on one hand you’re a landscape photographer. On another you specialize in portraits. In other, you are a documentary photographer. In printed photo books, you’re able to bring all of those sides together.
