Behind-the-scenes stories and advice. Photobook
Overview
“Travel photography as therapy” is a book of behind-the-scenes stories and advice from 150 photos. Their author is an outdoor journalist, editor, and writer, and an amateur photographer like you. He made it during 20 years of his travels in Europe, Asia, and North America (2004–2024).
With the book, he sets an example of how you can engage in real, non-AI-creativity using only your smartphone or camera. Travel photography, a simple and popular genre, is best suited for this. Besides, it’s a free self-therapy session you can take not leaving your home. By telling stories in writing, we reflect on life’s moments and as if we are traveling through them once more. This helps us answer our personal questions and improve ourselves. The book also contains advice on how to make good street photos. The author shares the expertise he got while interviewing 20+ masters and advanced amateurs of the close street photography genre, which he collected in his other work.
This book would be suitable for beginner travel photographers, but especially for those who don’t do any creation. You can freely copy the author’s idea and make your similar book. It’s also a unique gift for friends on absolutely any occasion.
