Travelling is an exciting hobby shared by millions of people across the globe. It provides the perfect opportunity to immerse yourself in nature, explore new corners of the world, whilst also meeting new people along the way. One way to enjoy your travels and to keep these memories alive is to capture your adventures through a camera lens. Whether this is through a DSLR or simply a smartphone camera, the images you capture will be ones you wish to cherish and share with others. If you really love the travel photography you have been able to collect over the years and want a way to share this with others, beyond just your family and friends, here are some great ways to share your travel photography.
Upload your photos to a photo sharing site
To share your travel photos with other photographers and fans of travel photography, joining a photo sharing site is a great option. This choice for photo sharing allows photographers to upload their very best photos, allowing others to download these, giving you the chance to potentially make some money. As well as this, these sites bring together a community of photographers where tips, tricks and advice can be shared. Not only are you able to share your photos with a wider audience, you can also gain some great photography knowledge which will help you to improve your travel photography in the future.
Create your own travel social media account
Another great way to widen your audience is to create a travel photography social media account. On platforms like Instagram, you will see many accounts which have been created purely to share photography. Which is what the social media platform was originally created to be used for. Despite the huge number of users, don’t feel like you can’t partake in this style of photo sharing. Even if your account takes a while to gain some following, it is a great option to simply have some fun with your photography, sharing it with followers from all over.
Start your own travel blog
As well as sharing your travel photography, have you ever considered sharing the entire travelling experience with others online? A blog would allow you to write about your experiences, as well as sharing all your fab imagery. Not only can others read of your experiences, and potentially learn some useful travel tips, this also acts as a travel journey for yourself to look back upon in years to come. If you’re not sure how to start, there are plenty of travel blogs already reaching thousands of visitors each month, you could take a look at for some inspiration.
Compile your travel images into a photography portfolio
If you fancy dipping your toes into freelance photography and want a way to showcase your previous work with potential clients, a portfolio is the way to go. Freelance travel photographers can be hired by a whole range of clients, like tourist boards, hotels, and magazines. Therefore to capture the attention of potential clients, your portfolio needs to be professional whilst also showcasing your travel photos in the best light. Only pick out your very best work and select a wide variety of images to highlight your ability to photograph a wide range of settings.
