Travel photography the very phrase conjures up the image of the lucky travel photographer flown to some exotic locale. Of course the truth is somewhat difference. In some ways we are all travel photographers, we just have to hop on the bus holding our camera phone and voila; meet travel photographer! The quantity and often the quality of photographs taken has mushroomed since the advent of the digital camera. Go back just 5 or 10 years when film was the norm photographers had to learn their craft through buying lots of film, waiting for the right subject to photograph, paying for the processing. then the photographer had to try and remember exactly how that effect was achieved.

People also travel more and more as flights have become cheaper. Naturally photographers can travel more too.

The big photography libraries tend to call the shots, set the prices and control the travel photography market more and more. Also professional travel photographers have to compete with the flood of travel images coming from amateur photographers who are very happy to see their travel photographs used for free.

Travel magazines are one of the mainstays for professional travel photographers along with travel brochures, outdoor and photography magazines. Travel books filled with glorious images created by travel photographers sell in decent amounts to markets including backpack travellers, armchair travel fans and photographers.

A common question asked of travel photographers is "what kind of camera do I need to use". As a rule unless you have the luxury of an assistant photographer to carry your bags you will probably want to travel light. Decide what kind of photography you want to do and also consider the travel destinations. A digital SLR is ideal and if you want to sell your travel photography I would suggest that it is essential. A good wide-angle lens, a mid to short tele zoom would be my suggestion for lenses. If you are in to wildlife photography I would say take a long tele too. Remember that travel photography will take you to some pretty dusty places and each time you cahang lenses dust will get in. Photographers that want to do nightime photography then a tripod is important though every kilometre you travel makes the tripod seem heavier.

If you are looking to be a travel photographer then be realistic, don't expect to make a lot of money, travel photographers are rarely motivated by money, often the best you can hope for is to offset some of your travel costs. Some of the best photographs have always been taken by ameteur photographers because they are doing it for the joy.

Travel to intesteing places certainly helps photographers get more interesting photographs
