Travel is a concept that most people dread. Sure, some love the idea of getting away for a week, or even a couple of weeks. But then the loneliness of the road wears down, and hope is all you can think about. However, for those with the personality of always being on the run and at the same time love photography then ‘Travel Photography’ might be something to look into.

If you’re looking for inspiration, or insight into Travel Photography then I highly recommend reading this interview. It’s on PopPhoto.com, and it’s of Tewfic El-Sawy a well renowned travel photographer. He shares some tips on how to get started, and what it takes to be a successful travel photographer.

While the circumstances behind the source material changes, the fundamentals of the photography remain the same. Lighting, colors, shape all are factors to keep in mind. Like in all facets of photography, you’re trying to tell a story through your photos. Nothing changes with the travel, only that you’ll be telling different stories.

If you want to learn a bit more of El-Sawy, he has a blog site. The bulk of his work is on his main site though, and it’s there where you’ll see his incredible gallery. If it doesn’t inspire you to be a travelling photographer, I don’t know what will.
