Shoot on speculation ?
Should travel pictures be shot on speculation ? Yes , is my answer .
Always remember travel publications can send staffers ' or request local " stringer " photog raphers in foreign countries to cover special assign ments . You , however , might be going to a place that is too expensive for a publication to send a staff photographer and / or writer .
So , you might be involved with an exclusive travel situation which could result in many photo sales to many travel publications . In such a situa tion you don't want to be tied down to one ex clusive customer . Then again , you might have the luck to be in the " right place at the right time " or , be unusually talented to bring home really great travel pictures which can command high final prices .
Yes , I make travel pictures on speculation and rely fully on my ability to produce photos having a definite market value . If my pictures could not meet the marketing standards , I would not want an editor to be forced to use them because he had originally committed himself to a guaranteed assignment .
During your travels be constantly on the alert for the unexpected happening . While visiting Gibraltar , our guide took us to meet the keeper of the world - renowned Gibraltar Apes . I asked him to handle one of the baby monkeys . After a few basic shots the fuzzy animal quickly climbed on top of the guard's shoulder and glanced affection ately into his face . I made the shot .
The animal - man combination ( ingredients of " human nature " ) , ended up being the color cover shot of Travel Magazine . It accompanied my by lined " lead story " with more pictures of " Britain's Rough Cut Mediterranean Jewel Gibraltar . "
Wherever you travel , always remember you are a " guest in another man's house " and act accord ingly with patience and kindness . Don't photo graph what you have been told to avoid military installations , prisons , airports , railroad systems , etc. In some countries , you are not permitted to make pictures from commercial airliners in flight Stolen pictures are not worth the risks . Instead , concentrate your abilities to create different , dra matic , unusual photos of routine scenes .
FIRST prize of $ 500 was won by author with the shot at left . He used a medium telephoto lens on 35mm to record it in Zell - am - Zee in Austria .
TIP TO guide obtained permission to shoot in terior view of the Mosque of Mohammed Ali .
DAY AND night views of same scene accents the logic of returning to some locations twice .
ROUTINE beach scene makes good human interest illustration but be careful to avoid " divided interest " result when several persons are in the picture . This one was made at Honolulu , Hawaii .
Whenever I make a travel picture which I think might be sold to an advertising agency , I ask all recognizable people in the scene to sign a standard model release form . " I carry a pad of releases in my camera equipment case as one of my necessary travel tools . The signed release forms provide legal protection to both my advertising customer and myself . I pay token tips if asked for , but prefer to send color prints to the people involved in lieu of money .
I also send prints to anyone who helped me during my travels . People , I have found , are ex tremely appreciative of receiving personal pictures .
