Going To Foreign Places Is The Way NY Travel Photographer Shoots Award Winning Photos

By Lonnie Hahne


Travel photography is a genre within the field of photography. Such a photo can show the landscape, culture and feelings of the people who live in a certain country or area. Those who take award-winning pictures often live in New York City, but spend much of their time on location. A NY Travel Photographer worthy of winning awards is sensitive to beauty, unusual aspects of a culture and experienced in taking advantage of the optimal lighting.

Outdoor photography is challenging due to the lighting conditions that may exist on any given day. There may be a deadline to meet and it may rain making that impossible. He or she must be ready to shoot one of those spontaneous moments in time that will rarely, if ever, happen again.

Professionals working in this genre have their work published in National Geographic. Practical ways to earn a steady income include leading photo tours for aspiring young photographers. They work for travel agencies to shoot the beauty of a sandy beach and the exterior appeal of a fine hotel.

Real estate agents need pictures of time shares they are selling in a foreign country. Architects need shots of the buildings they have designed. Prizes are given for categories of photography including spot news. Some of the most prestigious awards are given to photographers who shot a picture on location.

In 1945 an award was given for the photograph named Raising the Flag on Iwo Jima. This is surely familiar for its magnificent depiction of a monumental event. In 1957 a travel photographer working for the Boston Traveler received an award for four pictures taken from an airplane. They were of the sinking of the SS Andrea Doria.

Those individuals arrived prepared where those pictures were taken. Each went to the right place and arrived there at the right time. No second opportunity would be available. Artistry and spontaneous reaction resulted in the amazing photographs each took that brought them awards and lasting fame.
