Is Travel Photography A Good Career? Sounds Lovely But What Is The Reality? Hi and welcome to Episode 83 of the Photography Explained podcast.

I’m your host Rick, and in each episode I will explain one photographic thing to you in plain English in less than 10 minutes (ish) without the irrelevant details. What I tell you is based on my lifetime of photographic experience. And not Google.

Here is the answery bit.

Travel photography can be a career but there is tons of competition out there. To be successful in travel photography you need to be an excellent photographer, but more importantly excellent at marketing yourself and your excellent travel photos to the right people at the right time. The reality is that you can make some money from travel photography for sure, but I recommend that you have travel photography as part of a broader portfolio of products and services.
