Then you must learn to master lighting. You see, while camera gear, composition, and post-processing are all essential parts of travel photography, lighting is often the make-or-break factor. If you get the lighting right, your images will look eye-catching and even dramatic – but if you get the lighting wrong, then your images will turn out boring, flat, and otherwise unpleasant. (I’m not talking about artificial lighting. I like to use natural light in my travel photos, and I very rarely travel with an external flash because of the extra weight. I’m also not a...
