Hello guys, I'm currently travelling to famous places, but I do not have photography skills. I would be happy if any of you could suggest taking better photos while travelling.
 
Hi! Best travel photos advice: use only natural light, use special angle, and no too basic in composition. American photographers learn to use rule of thirds and stop zooming. Practice framing your shot carefully. Also, if it’s not exactly in your hands yet don’t do anything rushed, take your time to get the best of the moment! Happy travels and shooting!
 
To improve travel photos, focus on lighting, composition, and telling stories through your images. Experiment with different angles, utilize the rule of thirds, and consider including people or unique landmarks for context and authenticity.
 
Research locations in advance to find the best angles, lighting times, and viewpoints. Knowing sunrise or sunset times can help you shoot during golden hour for flattering light. Planning also helps you avoid crowds and discover hidden gems that add uniqueness to your travel photography.
 
Don’t just focus on landmarks—include local people, markets, street scenes, or traditions. These candid moments tell the true story of a place and make your photos more memorable. Always be respectful and ask permission when photographing individuals to keep your experience authentic and considerate.
 
Improve composition by placing key subjects off-center using the rule of thirds. Imagine dividing your frame into a 3x3 grid and position your subject along those lines or at intersections. This simple trick adds balance and interest to your photos and draws the viewer's eye more effectively.
 
Zoom in on small details that reflect a destination’s character—textures of old walls, local food, patterns in tiles, or handwritten signs. These intimate shots create variety in your travel album and offer a more personal perspective on the culture and environment you’re exploring.
