Each place is unique

Travel, vacations, holidays, we want to remember the fun times forever so we take lots of pictures. We want that moment in time, that feeling of happiness, to stay with us for as long as our memory and senses stay intact. Yet we take photos to help us recall the good feelings and the wonderful times with as much detail and emotion as we had at the moment we snapped the shot.

"When I go to a place I tried to capture it in a very natural way, try not to force it so much, half the time it really depends on the location, some places are just beautiful as soon as you see them some other ones you have to find  that beauty, let it evolve. Each place is unique  so I try to tell that story but giving little vignettes of that place." -David Nicolas

Travel photographers can influence the world with their snapshot of time, be it beautiful and breathtaking or be it heartbreaking devastation. The entire globe can witness the second in time due to the photographer’s quick aim and shoot. This is travel photography and here on this site are many snapshot moments around the world.

Make Pictures, Don’t Just Take Pictures
Simple as it sounds, there is a big difference between taking a travel picture and making one. When you take a picture, you simply point and shoot. When you make a picture, you think about all the elements in a scene and how they can complement each other. You think about the lighting and the background and the foreground. And you think about the mood you want to create with your picture. -Rick Sammon
