This week we are talking about how to be a tourist wherever you are living and why it is so important to do this. We will give you five tips for ways to explore like a tourist in your own home. We really focus on the fact that you don’t need to get on a plane to love where you are at.

We also talk about YYC Hot Chocolate Fest, which just ended! Such an awesome month!

The Tips:

1. Go out and take in the big tourist sites
   • Whatever they are in your town, go and see them, photograph them like you would if you were in a new destination and try to see them from a new perspective.
2. When you are getting ready to leave, don’t treat this like any other day heading out.
   • Don’t plan to run errands.
   • Don’t think about the things you should be doing.
   • Be present in the moment.
3. You will likely meet new people.
   • This is such a great byproduct of being a tourist in your own town. You will likely start having conversations with wonderful people from where you live. And who knows, these may turn into friendships or even business opportunities. 
4. You get to practice!
   • If you want to take your travel photos from wall art to snapshot, then you had better start practicing and there is no better way than to walk out your front door.
5. Don’t limit your photography because of what other people are saying.
   • Forget about those who try to bring you down and take your photos!

In Episode 4 we are talking about tips to take your travel photos from snapshots to wall art. We will present you with 13 tips to help improve your travel photography (or just your photography in general) regardless of the camera kit you use. 

Composition

1. The Rule of Thirds
   • Divide your frame into thirds both vertically and horizontally and place your subject in one of the cross-sections of those lines.
2. Leading Lines
   • Use lines within your frame to lead your viewer’s eyes to the main subject in your image.
3. Framing
   • Use buildings or other objects to frame your subject and draw your audience’s eye towards your main subject. Frames can also add an extra interesting foreground element.
4. Backgrounds
   • Look for simple backgrounds to put your subject against. Busy backgrounds can distract the viewer’s eye, but a simple background keeps the focus on your subject.

A New Perspective

1. Go Low. 
   • Get low to the ground to show objects bigger than the traditionally are and to create a new perspective on an area. 
2. Go High. 
   • Look for a way to, safely, get up above your subject. See if there is a hill or building that you can legally climb to look back down on a subject from. This can reveal patterns on the ground around your subject.
3. Search the Area.
   • Look around an area for unique perspectives that other people aren’t shooting.

Wide-angle or close up?

1. Wide-angle
   • Great for showing off scenes, whole buildings or cityscapes. Gives people a feeling of an area.
2. Close-up
   • Shows off the details of one part of a scene. You can isolate a specific item like an animal’s face or a statue on a building. 

Get the Light

1. Golden Hour. 
   • Roughly one hour before sunset or one hour after sunrise. There is typically lots of soft light and long, gentle shadows that lead to beautiful images. This is also when the sky lights up into beautiful colours (if there are clouds for the sunlight to reflect off of).
2. Blue Hour 
   • Roughly an hour after sunset and an hour before sunrise. It’s when the sun is still illuminating the sky but it is below the horizon.
3. My Favourite App for Finding Light
   • Sun Surveyor. Tells you the time of sunset, sunrise, moonrise and moonset as well as the approximate length of golden hour and blue hour.

Isolate your Subject

1. Depth of field:
   • For close-ups, set your aperture to a low f-stop value (such as 2.8, 2.0, or 1.8 or lower). This blurs out the background behind your subject.
2. Use Colour
   • Place your subject against a contrasting colour to have them pop out. Think of it this way, a person wearing a green coat standing in amongst green trees is going to blend into the trees. But a person wearing a bright yellow or orange coat is going to pop out from amongst the trees, drawing your viewer’s eye to them. 
3. Background
   • Simple backgrounds really help

Welcome to part 2 of our Canadian Winter Photography Special! Last week we covered everything you need to be ready to go shooting outdoors in cold, Canadian winter. This week, in part 2, we are talking about actually getting out there and taking photographs! This is your chance to go out and take photos that other people are avoiding because of the weather. 

In this episode we cover:

1. Things to be aware of when taking photos outside in the winter:
   • Your camera’s internal meter can be tricked by sunlight reflecting off the snowy ground. Compensate by using full manual and setting everything yourself or, when using auto modes, use your exposure controls.
   • Autofocus can be tricked by falling and blowing snow, causing your camera to focus hunt or miss-focus. Switch into manual focus to compensate. 
   • You can freeze your nose (or other boy parts) to your camera if you aren’t careful.
2. Some awesome photos you can take:
   • The boiling water trick to create an ice-crystal fog around you.
   • Creating frozen, crystalline soap bubbles.
   • Using falling snow to create dynamic foregrounds and backgrounds as well as framing your subject.
   • Interacting with winter’s elements to create an engaging image.
   • Incorporate strong light effects and ice to create dynamic night-time portraits.
   • Getting protection from the elements to make your photos better.
3. Safety
   • Snow can cover up crevasses and holes, be careful where you step.
   • Watch out for cornices, snow-ledges that develop on ridge-lines. 
   • Learn about avalanches and how to avoid them.
4. Coming home
   • Protecting your equipment so it doesn’t develop moisture inside, using large plastic bags or your backpack.

Products mentioned in this episode:

• Lume Cube

We are aiming to grow a photographic community of like-minded adventurers and travellers. I’d love to chat with you more and see your photographs. Join us online in any of the following spaces:

Winter is one of my favourite times to take photographs. The world looks magical all covered in snow, and there are some amazing things you can only photograph when it gets freezing cold. We understand that lots of people dislike being out when the snow is flying, but given the right preparation you can have a great time taking photographs in the cold and you can create some unique images.

So join us for this special two-part series that is all about Winter Photography. In part 1, we cover things that you need to have and think about before heading out to shoot in the snow. We cover the gear you should have with you, the clothing you should wear, and the type of carry system that works in winter. 

In this episode, we cover a number of things including:

• Three reasons winter photography is awesome

1. There are photographs you can only take when the temperature heads into the negatives
2. Snow changes the way common landscapes look, giving you new shots and new perspectives
3. There are very few other people out, take advantage of the quiet and stillness

• Things to look for in your bag/backpack
  • Made from a durable and weather-resistant material
  • Waterproof bottom
  • How is your gear accessed?
  • Enough space for extras beyond your camera kit
• The bags Robert uses:
  • Peak Design Everyday Messenger Bag and F-Stop Gear Loka UL
• What else should you bring?
  • Water/Food
  • Extra Layers
  • Microfibre Towel
  • Mini air-blower
  • Micro-spikes
  • Hiking Poles
  • Heat Packs
  • Large Plastic Bag
  • Dry-sack
• Clothing
  • Layer up on your clothes
  • Baselayer
    • Merino wool or synthetic equivalent to keep you warm
  • Mid-Layer
    • Jacket: synthetic down equivalent that stays warm when wet.
    • Pants: Water-resistant material that you can move in
  • Hard-Shell
    • Weatherproof (wind and waterproof)
    • Think Gortex or something similar
    • This goes over your mid-layer
  • Super warm outer shell to put on when you stop for a while
    • Big puffy down coats work great for their warmth to weight ratio
• Think of where you pack your electronics, as batteries die far faster in the cold

Links to some of the things talked about in this episode:

• Peak Design Everyday Messenger (this is version 2.0, Robert uses version 1.0)
• F-Stop Gear Loka UL
• Helly Hansen Odin - Robert's mid-layer jacket
• Kahtoola Microspikes

Welcome to the Travel & Adventure Photography School podcast episode #1! Thanks for taking the time to be here with us from the beginning. Today, we are here to talk about storytelling in your photography.
How can you help your photographs stand out in a crowded medium? 
One of the best ways to do this is to start using the elements of storytelling in your photography. A photograph with a story is much more likely to speak to people, then just one of a pretty location. 
But how do you start using storytelling in your photography?
We will discuss the five elements of storytelling, and how you can apply it to your photographic vision to create more engaging pieces.
The five elements we will discuss are:

1. premise
2. Subject
3. Style
4. Conflict
5. Narrative Arc/Plot

Integrating good storytelling is one of the greatest things you can do for your photography, so let's talk about it today!

On today's adventure, we're hanging out on the shores of Moraine Lake - in the rain, of course - after hiking into Larch Valley during larch season and talking about five little things you can do to elevate your images.
One of the things I find people asking about fairly consistently is what starts separating people when you know the rules of composition, and you know how to break them, and when to break them, when you know your exposure triangle and how to use your camera and all those good pieces, why is it that some people's images have an extra spark or just something a little bit different or better about them?
And so that's what we're going to talk about. Here are some of the things you can do that could possibly be that next bit you need to elevate your people photos.

Welcome back to the long-awaited return of the Travel and Adventure Photography School podcast! I'm your host, Robert Massey, and I can't express how excited I am to bring this show back to life after a 16-month break. Get ready for a fresh perspective as we take this podcast out of the studio and into the great outdoors.

In this episode, recorded beside the stunning Bow River in Banff National Park, I open up about the challenges of creative burnout that led to the podcast's hiatus. As a full-time content creator and photographer in one of my favorite places on Earth, Banff National Park, I found myself struggling to balance work, creativity, and personal time. Creative burnout hit me hard, and I had to reevaluate my approach to find the joy in my craft again.

Throughout the episode, I share my journey of self-discovery, reflecting on the signs of creative burnout, the toll it took on my relationships, and the impact it had on my photography and work. I reveal the strategies and tools that helped me overcome creative burnout, including giving myself space to step away from creativity when needed and finding a new creative outlet through drawing.

I also discuss the importance of reflection and connecting with supportive individuals during challenging times. By reaching out to those who understand and care about us, we can gain valuable insights and rekindle our creative fire.

If you've ever experienced creative burnout or simply want to learn more about maintaining a healthy and sustainable creative journey, this episode is for you. Join us as we venture into the great outdoors, explore new perspectives, and inspire each other in the world of travel and adventure photography.

Thank you for being part of our community, and let's embark on this exciting new chapter together. Adventure awaits! 🌄📸

Travel is picking up again. Countries are reopening borders. Life is getting back to some semblance of what our normal is now. And that means that a lot more people will be packing up their cameras and hitting the air. This is such an exciting moment for many people. To see the world again, have new experiences, and meet people from other cultures. And that also means packing up the camera gear and travelling with it. We put our cameras through a lot, bouncing in turbulence on airplanes, falling from overhead bins on trains, bouncing around on automobiles the world over. To make sure they get to their destinations in working order, ready for you to do your job, you need to pack them properly. Cameras are rugged, but there is a right and a wrong way to pack them. And as much as you can pack them properly, the better chance you won’t be replacing parts or missing shots.

This week's episode will be a big one for many of you out there. I'll be talking about some of the signs you'll have to let you know that you're ready to go pro. Going pro means a lot of different things to a lot of people, but for me, it doesn't necessarily mean quitting your 9 to 5 and going full-time. It can mean selling prints part-time, taking on client gigs on weekends, or going full bore into this. Wherever you're at, the things I'll be talking about today will give you an idea of if you are ready to start taking on those paying gigs.

For the first episode back, I want to get into something that could significantly impact your photography business. Something that should help you land more clients and have some money rolling in the door, regardless of if you are working full time or just doing this on the side. I'm going to help you pitch your work to content managers, creative directors, and anyone in charge of making beautiful things at brands around the world. I've taken on this role at a tourism board and couldn't be more thrilled that I get to work with incredible creatives to help promote the destination I work for. And in the now seven months I've been in this position, I've learned a lot about pitching, what works, and what just irritates me. So today, I'm going to give you four tips to help get your pitch through the door and make it more likely that you will get a callback. This is coming from the perspective of someone working in the tourism industry. Still, I think it applies across a broad spectrum of brands and businesses.

As we get going, there are a few things that I'm taking for granted here with you, the listener. You are interested in working with brands to make content - if you're not, this information really won't help you. You can consistently create fantastic images, and you are ready to put in the work. Because working with brands can be a lot of fun; but it is also a lot of time, energy and effort.

Having a photography project, especially a personal one, is an important part of creating photographs. Personal projects provide a chance for creative exploration, discovering new techniques, and helping you grow as a photographer. Because without a project, without a driver, you can start feeling lost and unmotivated to get out and create.
This week we're talking about what a photography project is, how you can formulate one, some things to watch out for, and why this could be a breakthrough for your photography.

We've talked a lot about mobile photography and the gear you can use to make yours better for the last few weeks. And it would seem, from the way I talk on here, that you really only have two choices in the type of camera you use to make things; your phone camera or a fancy interchangeable lens camera.
But that's not all the choices you've got to make extraordinary things.
So, this week, I'm going to give you 4 alternatives to mobile or mirrorless cameras that can help you create things on the go. We won't get into drones, phones, DSLRs, mirrorless, or rangefinder here.
 I want to give you four legitimate options that take you away from the standards of content creation. And open up some new possibilities.
