Show Notes

Travel photography is a difficult market, as the rise of digital photography made it so that such images were much easier for everyone to get.
Running workshops is a great way to do travel photography in the current environment.
You have to find what you’re interested in and find a way to turn it into a project.
When you self generate a project, you often get more creative control over the project.
The longer you work, the harder it becomes to satisfy yourself with your own work. Your skills will improve and your expectations for yourself will raise.
A great part of a workshop is that you can see multiple ways of shooting the same scene.
Take time to look through your archives.
