Travelling and the serious photographer

E-mail Print PDF

SeanNel_ShootsImaging003

Traveling with any serious amount of photography equipment is a hair-raising prospect in most situations and everybody has the way of doing it. As a stock photographer that shoots a lot of travel work, we are constantly refining how we travel (especially internationally) and how we move around and shoot without calling too much attention to ourselves and our equipment.
The last thing you want is to be targeted for a mugging!

Also, we are coming across it more and more that tourist attractions are putting up signs that photography with "professional" equipment will not be allowed, so looking inconspicuous is the name of the game for safety, as well as getting the shots you are after!

So step one... what to take, what to leave...

1. How did you get into photography?
I have been in and out of photography for quite some time! My "first" photography business was shooting athletes at school events and selling them the images. My sister (also a photographer) printed them for me in black and white. I didn't own my own camera, so I borrowed a K1000 Pentax from her (and a fast 50mm) - All manual all the way, baby!
