What are some travel photography myths that have limited you or might still be limiting you? SHARE! 🙂
I think the pretty/beautiful photo syndrome was holding me back. I am definitely starting to get over it. I was looking at documentary project from an acclaimed documentary photographer recently and I'd guess some of the photos wouldn't even get a few likes on Instagram but as a project and story they were very powerful. Which leads me to another myth that one has to shoot single photo "bangers" to be a good photographer. I am starting to understand the value of projects, collections, and stories where it's more about the whole than the parts. Love the cable car photo, one of my favorites and love your whole Belarus and Georgia series. My great grandfather was from Belarus.
Your old pictures prove a lot about that a photographer with skills is way more important than the gear! Something I tried to explain a lot to customers as a camera salesman in the past. Practicing locally is a preparation for your travel photography. What is local and boring for you is not local for someone else and interesting for them.
thanks a lot, your seven myths are very interesting and are things that a lot of photographers indeed struggle with
i'm not a travel photographer but i think tourist traps have a place when it comes to learning travel photography. you can plan around them and sort out a workflow that works for you. a few years back i did a solo road trip on a bike with the idea that i'd try get a ton of photos to share. 8000km later i was home and i think i took about 10 shots over the couple of weeks i took off. it was a good trip but i never found the time to do photography. starting out and wanting to do travel photography for a living must be less about amazing photos and just maximizing budgeted time so you don't starve in a world where once in a lifetime shots are free online
I’m still enjoying and grateful for your message, Mitchell - especially when new gear like the Nikon ZF come out! Just when I get lured again into GAS one of your videos pop up. Also helpful to remember are your other points, like focusing on the story rather than making glamorous images. I am looking forward to your course, which I purchased and going to focus on during the holidays. Cheers!
The better gear myth… I recently said to someone that better specs will not necessarily equal better experience. I think this point gets lost on some people, unfortunately.
Excellent advice and you show some stunning photos from your travels.
Another exceptional session…. I always find it worthwhile to view your videos. Thank you.
Very special insights man! Thanks for sharing✌️🙂
Great points all! Carry on. 👍🥂
I really appreciate your thoughts and the way you share them and of course your photographic work and knowledge. Fore sure that as soon as I can, I'll be doing your courses, in the meanwhile, all the best for you and your family ❤
О, новое видео! Супер! Спасибо, начинаю смотреть!)) Согласен со всем:) Скажу больше, даже если всё в мире будет уже сфотографировано, это не ограничение, всё зависит от энергетики того, кто снимает, любое место в любое время можно превратить в магию) Контент свежий и великолепный, спасибо, автор:)
Always a great watch, thanks.
How about a video about issues you made of had and how you got out of them.
I am sure you have had scary times.
Best.
This is one the most Underrated Channel.
Love your videos. Keep it up!
Simplesmente fantástico. Você conseguiu quebrar muitos mitos que eu acreditava e que me limitava. Daí a importância de postagens como essa . Aprendi muito sobre os segredos da fotografia. Obrigada 😊
I agree with all points! Couple of weeks ago I stacked watching videos about new camera, because it more compact than my Canon 6D. And I thought what I will take it with me more often and will photograph more. But finally I realize what I`m happy with my camera, I like quality of photos and difference in size not so significant to spend such a lot of money. I`ll better go to trip.
#1 exactly... I travel the world full time to see places, meet people and experience culture... Photos are an addendum to that..❤
My biggest regret about gear is not having at least one sharp zoom lens.
You can get a great used 50mm (or equivalent) for every camera body for cheap. It’s a go to lens for a reason.
Thanks Mitchell! Great video and 100% agree with you. If you need to choose just one lens for travel photography, which one you choose?
Great post! Honest... heartfelt... 👏 Quick question: how is your approach to editing? For what I can see, you don't over do it much, which I find it aesthetically pleasing by the way! Thanks!
Hey I have a few videos on my channel about the editing. Check them out. 🙂
Great video Mitchell ! Love it
I hope your thoughts will reach a lot of people. The way you approach travel photography fully resonates with me. I just started to follow you, so I am not sure if you had shared it before, but I would be very interested to hear from you who are the 'fellow photographers' you follow, who inspire you, who's approach resonate with you.
I hope so too :)
