Ahh, the life of a travel photographer. Every morning you wake up in a new and exotic place. You can travel weeks at a time, or take a break and spend some time learning about one area in detail. You can go to amazing places half way around the world, and you can visit places where very few people have walked before.
Who wouldn’t want that lifestyle?
Statistics show travel is the number one item on most people’s wish lists. They dream about the day they can take off and enjoy experiencing new things. Yet for most people, that dream never becomes reality.
“I have kids and I can’t disrupt their schedules.”
“I want to travel but my spouse doesn’t.”
“I don’t have the money to travel.”
Yep, there are dozens of ways to justify not jumping at the chance to travel.
And for many people that dream of the day they will set out on their journeys, they also have another dream – to get paid while traveling too.
Imagine photographing every exotic port you pull into, and being able to quickly sell the best images from the trip. Not only could you travel where and when you want, but you’d get paid for it too. Life can’t get any better than that.
If your dreams have included something like I’ve just described, you’ve probably shelved them to the back of your mind, waiting for the day to come.
Why wait?
Instead, head out now and prove you have what it takes to be a travel photographer, right from the comfort of your own home.
No matter where you are, what community you live in, you probably have some level of tourism right in your own neighborhood.

And because of that, there are also many magazines, books and online resources that cater to people that live here, visit here, and love playing in the Rocky Mountains. [Read more…]
