Travel Photography
Photography of places, cultures and journeys, combining landscape, documentary and portrait approaches.
In depth
The genre's persistent risk is the picturesque — reproducing what is already familiar from postcards rather than photographing what is actually there. The corrective is time and specificity: staying long enough to move past the obvious viewpoints, and photographing particular people and situations rather than generic scenes.
Examples in practice
Returning to the same market on four mornings produces pictures no single visit at midday could.
