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.

Some other employment opportunities are for real estate agents and architects. Prizes are awarded for travel categories as well as photojournalism and spot news photography. There are a number of prestigious awards a top photographer can win.

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.

These photographers brought their experience and skills to these locations. They were in the right place at the right time. There was no second opportunity and no time to wait for good lighting. Spontaneity and talent helped them win awards by taking advantage of an event in time that would never be repeated.
