Tell your Travel Story with what you have…
Every travel is a story in itself. While you are on the trip, you may or may not have a professional camera along with you. Nonetheless, your phone camera and our photo ideas will help you create the most amazing photo book worthy clicks that will stay fresh in your memories for years to come. So don’t worry if you don’t have a professional DSLR camera, your phone-cam is enough to get the right frames and create magic.
To create a good story – try to have a tempting start, beautiful travel elements and satisfying photos of your trip. If you’re on a beach, mountain, solo or family vacation, choose a special travel theme to match the mood of your vacation.
Begin from the First Start Point
Whatever be the mode of your travel to the destination – start to capture moments from the very beginning of your journey. You can also snap while packing your stuff, airport hustle or the moment your train enters the destination. Try to capture the ‘First Look’ of people and places that you encounter on the way. If you’re travelling by flight, capture the window view or touch down on the tarmac.

New Eyes for New Views
Just a different vision – change the way you see things. While on your vacation, try to capture scenic locations, pristine beaches, quaint cafes, museums, architectural marvels, or mountains. Move out of your comfort zone and click from a different angle or perspective.
Attempt a wide angle shot with your friends or family from a distant point- it helps to capture the exact feel of your beautiful surroundings. You can also try to click few action photos like while you are in the car, splashing waves or even a snowball fight will look amazing when put together in a photo book.
Capture iconic Landmarks
Each destination will have an iconic landmark or a beautiful landscape that defines the location. So for once you can ditch the mandatory groufies or selfies and add a fresh look to get a great shot of the surroundings.
You can also try to click the reflection of any monument on your pair of sunglasses, climb up to a nearby tower to get a beautiful shot from some height or ask your friends to stare at the landscape in awe. When out on a family trip, crazy shots of each member of the family holding up the monument never goes out of fashion. Go ahead and let your imagination free to mix people you love and iconic locations in one frame.

Don’t let Golden Hours Slip Away
In any part of the world, golden hours – an hour after sunrise and one before sunset are termed precious by photographers to get the best natural light to capture silhouettes and intense-contrast photos. If you happen to be out during early morning or late evening, make sure to include one of these shots in your travel photo book.

Roam Like a Local
Capture local people, cuisine, traditions, events, festivals and wildlife to bring authentic feel to your travel tales. Get the tempting food shots, ask your cab driver to pose with you or any interesting locale you speak to on the streets.
Best way to capture the destination’s local vibe is to walk on foot. You can also check for any cultural or region specific events happening- it will make up to be a visual treat and you definitely have stories to tell when you return home.
If you happen to be at a destination that has or is near to nature reserve, try to find unique wildlife like birds, animals, or aquatic life and make sure to capture it. Go for nature walks, adventure rides and capture its feel.
