I love travelling almost as much as I love travel photography. When I was still at photography school it was clear for me that I wanted to be a travel photography. I was fortunate to have my first travel story on Naples published in Marie Claire and for the next 12 years I travelled the world for working for my favourite magazines.
I have gathered together some posts for those of you who are travel photography enthusiasts and I figured the best place to start was with one of the most important things in photography, the Decisive Moment.

I often try to include an event in my travel stories. There are a wide range of sporting, cultural and musical events t

TRAVEL PHOTOGRAPHY SERIES – COLOUR PALETTES
How we use colour in our photography can add depth to our story, meaning, mood and tell us a lot about your style.
Events are rich moments in a city’s life full of strong emotions and tell a strong story of the people, history and culture
The blue hour is that magic moment of the day when the sun has set and the night hasn’t quite fallen. The sky has a beautiful colour cast.
