Travel Photography: 6 Ways to Take Great Couple Photos while Traveling

Last updated: March 25, 2019 - Written by Jessica Norah 36 Comments

Today we are going to share ways to take great couple photos while traveling. When you travel as a couple, you are going to want to get some good photos of the two of you together.

The problem is that getting great couples photos of the two of you together can be a challenge, as usually one of you has to operate the camera or smartphone. So most people end up with a lot of individual photos from a trip, but not so many great couple photos from their travels.

In this post, we’re going to share with you some tips to help you take great couple photos when traveling. All of these tips also work for getting any kind of single person, group, or family travel photos. First, we’re going to go through all of the ways that we have taken photos of ourselves together on our trips to give you plenty of options.You can then choose the method(s) that works best for you.

Then, we’ll share some tips and advice to help you get better couple vacation photos no matter what option you use. Let’s get started!

6 Ways to Take Better Couple Photos While Traveling

Below are 6 different ways to get a couple photo while on vacation. We have use them all, depending on the situation, and each have their own pros and cons. Although some are definitely more likely to produce a better photo than others.

1. Use a Tripod

A tripod is definitely Laurence’s preferred way to get good couple photos of the two of us when we travel. It means we can set up the shot exactly how we want it, determine the composition, and also know that the camera will be stable. Laurence even videoed and   photographed our own wedding with just a pair of tripods!

There are definitely some drawbacks to using a tripod as they add to your luggage weight and you have to carry them around. Not everyone wants to pack and lug around a tripod on their vacation and then set it up each time they want to take a photo, and we appreciate that. However, we do think this is one of the better ways to get better photos of the two of you together and there are also a number of other  reasons to travel with a tripod .

If you do not own a tripod, there are plenty of low-cost and lightweight travel tripod options available  including monopods and mini-pods.

Tripods are not always the best solution though. For instance, we would not recommend using a tripod if you are in a very crowded, unstable, or windy spot as it may get bumped or knocked over. We also recommend always staying within a short distance of your tripod and keeping an eye on it to help prevent damage or theft.

Many indoor venues, such as museums and churches, do not allow tripods so be sure to check for any rules and regulations before heading out each day. Sometimes places will even confiscate tripods as they can be viewed as potential weapons. See our guide to travel tripods for more tips on traveling with them.

You might be tempted to skip the tripod and just try to find places to set your camera (e.g., ledges, benches, rocks) during your trip. While this may occasionally work well, we don’t recommend this as a main strategy as it will often be impossible or impractical (e.g., no safe place to put the camera) and you have much less control of the angle and composition as it will be mainly determined by the perch rather than you.

It is also not a good idea in many circumstances to just leave your camera sitting somewhere and walk away from it as someone may knock it over or try to take it (less likely with a tripod). We’d recommend using a tripod or using another option.

Pros:  You have a lot of control over the photo and composition, you don’t need to involve any outside people, and you can achieve really good results. You also can take better photos in more challenging circumstances like low light situations.

Cons: You have to pack and carry the tripod with you, you have to set it up each time you want to take a photo, and tripods can’t be taken or used everywhere (e.g., often not allowed in indoor venues). 

2. Ask Someone to Take a Photo of You

If you are reluctant to travel with a tripod, we have some more options for you to consider. The first of these is to ask someone to take a photo of the two of you. We usually do this if we are somewhere where we either can’t use a tripod or it is impractical to do so, such as in a restaurant, canoe, or crowded space.

First, you need to ask someone to take your photo.  For the best results, we suggest picking someone who looks friendly, not very busy, and like they might be good at taking the photo (e.g., using a smartphone or camera similar to yours). I’d also recommend asking someone who is also traveling as a couple or family, as you can then offer to reciprocate to take their photo as well. If you approach someone who doesn’t seem receptive, thank them, and try someone else. 

Second, we recommend setting the camera or smartphone up in the most foolproof way possible, so all the person has to worry about is aiming and pressing the button. That will usually mean putting the camera in fully automatic mode to save them any concerns over focus or other settings. Try to keep it as simple as possible. If you do not speak the same language you can demonstrate with hand movements.

Finally, don’t be afraid to give a bit of direction such as what scenery to try to include, whether you want it to be portrait or landscape, etc. Make it easy for the person. However, that said, don’t give them a ton of directions and ask for numerous photos. We have no problem taking a couple of photos for strangers, but if they start asking for reshoots and multiple angles, it begins to get annoying.

Remember you are asking a stranger for a favor and they are generously giving up their time to take your photo. Be sure to thank them, and it is good manners to always offer to return the favor.

If you aren’t happy with the photos from one stranger, don’t worry, you can wait for another one to show up!

Pros:  Usually fast and easy, allows you to get a better angle than with a selfie stick or your arm.

Cons: Need to ask a stranger for the favor of taking the photo, stranger may or may not take a good photo, and this strategy will not always be feasible (e.g., in an area with few people).

3. Hire a Professional Photographer

For the absolute best travel photos of the two of you together, the best option is to hire a professional photographer to actually do this for you. This is definitely a more expensive option but it is likely more affordable than you think, and will definitely get you some impressive results.

The first step is to determine where you will be traveling and what location you are particularly keen to have the best photos (e.g., strolling around Paris, your day trip to Cairo, your hike at Yosemite). Then you need to find and book a local photographer or photography service. You can always find a local photographer in just about any area of the world, or photographers willing to travel.

To make this easier, we’d recommend using a service that specializes in this. There are a number of services that pair travelers with photographers in cities around the world. Check out the photographer’s portfolio to make sure you like their work before finalizing your choice and be sure to let them know what kind of photographs you are wanting from your trip.

There are a number of vacation photography services out there. We’ve heard very positive things about Flytographer in particular, and you can get $25 off your first shoot with this link .

Many Context Travel private walking tours (offered in over 30 cities worldwide), such as this Venice city walk , can also be booked so that you are accompanied by both a guide and a Flytographer photographer who will take photos of you during the walk. 

Other companies you may want to check out include Shoot my Trave l , WanderZoom and Pictrip . Most companies allow you book a photographer for as little as an hour up to a full day (or even multiple days), but you should be able to get some great shots in just a couple of hours.

Pros:  Definitely the best way to get professional quality couple photos, and a third person can also capture great candid shots. Cons:  This is the more expensive option, you don’t have complete control over the photos taken, and you obviously only have the person along for a portion of your trip. 

4. Use a Selfie Stick

Ah, the much hated selfie stick. We’re getting further down the list of our preferred options now, and we’d definitely recommend you consider one of the previous options over our last few options.

That said, we have in the past year acquired a selfie stick. It’s a good way to quickly get photos of the two of us when we can’t use a tripod and we can’t find a willing passer-by to take our photo. We also use it occasionally for taking videos with our phone. For many people it is their preferred method of taking solo and couple shots.

Selfie-sticks have a number of limitations. First, most self sticks can only be used with a compatible smartphone although there are available models that work with sports cameras (e.g., GoPros), compact cameras , and even mirrorless cameras and DSLR cameras (not recommended as most are not sturdy enough to adequately support the weight!). Another big limitation of self sticks is that the control over the photo composition is restricted based on the length of the stick and how far you can reach out your arm. Finally, you can’t use them in a number of locations, including a large number of museums, amusement parks, and indoor venues, as many places have banned the use of selfie sticks.

Despite their limitations, they are small, cheap, and easy to travel with, which gives them a big advantage over a lot of the other options on this list. If you are looking to purchase one, there are a large range of them out there and they come in a variety of styles with different features. Be sure to make sure it is compatible with your phone’s model, operating system, and size. We’d recommend you choose and purchase one before you leave for your trip as the ones sold at tourist kiosks around the world are often the worst quality ones. 

We use this particular selfie stick from Anker , which we’ve found to be very reliable and sturdy, plus the Bluetooth pairing makes everything a lot easier than fiddling around with wires.

Pros: Easy to use and setup once you’ve done it a couple of times. Inexpensive and lightweight. Cons:  Results vary but are generally better than if you just use your arm. Limited use in that they can generally only be used with a smartphone. Selfie sticks have been banned in a number of museums and attractions, and can be annoying to the people around you.

5. Use a Drone

Although aerial photography and the use of drones in photography is nothing new, the popularity of drones has skyrocketed in recent years and there have been major developments in consumer oriented drones. These are another way to get couple vacation photos, but the least practical and feasible of the options. 

Drones have a lot of benefits such as being able to get a bird’s eye view of places and get angles you can’t get from the ground. Some can even be programmed to follow you around and take shots. Laurence enjoys playing around with the drone and seeing what it can do.

However, drones have a lot of drawbacks, the biggest ones being they are expensive, heavy, and more complicated to use than any of the other methods. The biggest drawback in terms of getting couple photos though is that drones can’t (or shouldn’t at least) be flown indoors, shouldn’t be flown in adverse weather conditions (e.g., windy or rainy conditions), are not allowed or heavily restricted in a number of destinations, and often require the need for obtaining licenses or permission. Further, in most cases unless you are looking for an overhead photo, you can get a better quality shot from a camera (or even a smartphone) set up on a tripod than by using a drone. This is because most consumer-level drone sensors are roughly equivalent to those found in a smartphone.

If you are looking for a drone, there are a number of models out there. We personally have a DJI Mavic Pro  (and you can check out here the drone accessories and gear we use) although we honestly have rarely used it for couples photos so far. But it is great for certain kinds of landscape photography. When traveling with a drone, be sure to check out all the most recent drone laws and regulations for the destination (there have been lots of recent changes and updates in many countries) you are going to and the airports you are flying through. You don’t want to show up to a place to have your drone confiscated or go through the hassle of lugging it to a destination to find that it does not allow drone photography.

Pros:  Allows you to get overhead views, unique angles, and from places you can’t stand or set up a tripod (e.g., over water). Many people find them fun to learn to use and fly. Cons: Expensive, more difficult to use and control, lots of restrictions in where and how they can be used, limited battery life, and not ideal for many situations.

6. Hold your Arm Out

The human arm is the original selfie stick! This is another way to take couple photos while traveling. It is one of our least favorite way to get photos of ourselves when we travel as the shots usually don’t turn out that good. The problem is of course that you are limited by your arm length, and trying to keep your arm out of the shot and  getting two people in the frame, while composing a decent image can be a real challenge! It is also impossible to keep your arm completely steady which often results in blurry shots.

For the best success, we recommend using a camera with a screen that will face towards you as you shoot – so the front facing camera on your phone for example, or a digital camera with a flip screen. Hand the camera or phone to the person with the longest arms to get the most reach. Then, try to hold the camera slightly above yourself for a more flattering angle, and try to keep the camera as level as possible as you compose your shot. Try to make sure you get some scenery in as otherwise it is just a photo of your faces!

Although this option will rarely produce a top quality shot, sometimes it will be your best and sometimes only option. It is also the quickest and most simple way to capture a memory. For instance, we were not going to bother someone else to take our photo in a crowd as the clock struck midnight at the Hogmanay festival , so we took the below smartphone selfie (not a good photo, but it captures the moment)! We also often use this for times when we are just taking quick snaps of ourselves when on a bus or doing activities where it is difficult to get photos any other way. 

Pros:  Fast & easy! No additional equipment or person needed. Cons:  Not likely to be the best photo. However, if you are only looking for a fun memory, these can be just fine!

Tips on How to Take Better Photos as a Couple 

Having covered several different ways to get photos of yourselves when traveling, we want to share a few easy tips and advice for actually making sure that those couples photos are as good as possible!

1 – Make sure you know how to use your camera & equipment

Knowing how your camera or smartphone works is really important when it comes to taking great photos, regardless of the subject. If you’re going to use a tripod for example, you’ll want to know how to set the camera up to take a photo on a timer. If you’re going to hand your camera to someone else, being able to quickly put everything to automatic is handy.

If you want to learn more about how to get the most out of your camera and take better travel photos, check out all our tips for taking better vacation photos no matter your skill level. Those really wanting to improve their photography skills should check out Laurence’s   online photography course , which will teach you everything you need to know.

2 – Take time to think about the composition

Thinking about the composition of your photos is always important, including when taking couple travel photos. Think about elements like the different subjects in your shot, the colors in the image, and whether you can use techniques like leading lines, depth of field ,or framing to improve the image.

You’ll also want to carefully consider where you put yourselves in the image, and using a tripod will really open up more possibilities. For more ideas on composition, take a look at our guide to composing better photos .

3 – Think about where the light is coming from

Light is one of the most important components of photography, and one that many people tend to forget about when taking pictures. Ideally, you want the sun to be behind the camera, so you are looking towards the sun from where you are standing. This will properly illuminate both the scene and you. Of course, you don’t want to be staring directly into the sun, as not only is this not good for your eyes, you’ll probably end up with a bunch of shots of you squinting which is never a good look! 

Avoid shooting a shot where the sun is behind you if you can as this will usually result in an image where you are in dark shadow, almost a silhouette, because of the brightness of the sun behind you. This is of course not always possible but you can improve the situation by doing things like finding shade and adjusting the exposure compensation on your camera. The key is to know as much about using your camera or smartphone as possible to get the most out of it.

4 – Consider the time of day

Generally the best time of day for photography is the hour or so after sunrise and before sunset, when the light is a more golden color. This lower, warmer light is more flattering, and this time of day is known as the golden hour.

If you can shoot at these times of day, this will definitely help you get better photos. Ideally, you want to avoid the middle of the day as strong overhead light will often give you less flattering looking images. However, on your vacation, you are going to be taking photos throughout the day but our advice is to also try to take some outdoor couple shots at these times as well.

5 – Angle the camera properly

The angle of the camera when shooting people is important. You don’t want the camera to be below your face if you can help it as this is a particularly unflattering angle. The best angle is around 10% to 20% above your eyeline with the camera looking slightly down at you.

Of course, you have to consider the overall composition and subject matter, but if you can raise the camera above you slightly, you will likely get better results.

6 – Try to capture more natural and candid poses

Holidays are meant to be fun, so don’t forget to show a bit of fun in your photos! Awkwardly posed photos don’t look as great, so if you can capture some moments of the two of you having a bit of fun, that is definitely going to be a better photo.

A tripod can definitely help with this, especially if you pair it with an intervalometer , which will let you shoot a series of photos over time – meaning you can have a bit of fun and hope to catch a few good images. The best way to capture candid photos is by having another person take them, especially a professional photographer.

And that’s it for our advice on how to take better photos when traveling as a couple! Hope this helps give you some strategies for getting better vacation photos on your next trip.

Wow, these couple photos are absolutely stunning! The love and connection between this couple shine through in every shot. The choice of location is perfect, and the way the photographer has captured the golden hour light is just magical.

Oh my gosh you guys are so cute! These are good tips, too. When I travel with my husband, he’s usually my “Instagram husband,” which means we never get very many good photos of us together. Something we need to work on!

March 2, 2018 at 3:24 pm

Hi Amanda, Love that your husband is your Instagram photo taker! Perhaps on your next trip together you get some nice pics of the two of you together, especially since you newlyweds are still in your honeymoon period! 😉 Best, Jessica

My boyfriend and I are both the types who enjoy being behind the camera more so than being in front of it so we don’t have many pictures together, but occasionally we try to get a shot together when we are on holidays. You have some great tips here! We normally just go with sticking our arms out, but we’ve tried the selfie stick as well. If you can get over the embarrassment of holding one (they have such a bad rep!) they actually do a decent job!

March 2, 2018 at 1:06 pm

Hi Bryna, Yes, we have a lot of travel photos of places without us and us individually, especially of me, but far fewer photos of us together. Obviously it takes a little more time, but it can be great to have them. Sticking your arm out is the only one you can almost ALWAYS do to get a couple photo so a good option in that sense, but probably turns out the worst results on average 😉 But sometimes it is your only choice. Selfie sticks can definitely improve the quality but yes, can be a bit embarrassing to use (we definitely have the same issue)! Best, Jessica

March 2, 2018 at 1:00 pm

Hi Richard, Glad you found it helpful and selfie sticks and tripods can both can great ways to get a better couples photos. Having options is good to as we use whatever the best available method is out of these! Best, Jessica

I’ve pinned your post so I can come back and study it again. We hardly ever get good shots of us together when we travel so it is something I really want to improve. I hardly ever ask another couple if the first shot is not that good, but I’m definitely going to do that in the future.

March 2, 2018 at 12:58 pm

Hi Jan, Hopefully some of these tips will help. I think looking back at photos, it is nice to have some of the two of them from your travels and experiences together! Best, Jessica

We have stopped even taking people up on the offer to take a shot for us, as it never ends up very good, ha. Always grainy/too zoomed out/out of focus/and or the horizon line is off, ha. These are great tips to avoid that!

February 27, 2018 at 3:56 pm

Hi Kristin, Glad to hear you enjoyed these tips, sorry to hear you’ve had such poor luck with having strangers take couple photos of you. It is an easy strategy but not the best for high quality photos! Best, Jessica

I love reading your posts, Jess. You always find interesting, captivating subjects. Taking photos as a couple is quite a challenge, so you list some good ways to make it happen. Unfortunately, my husband doesn’t have the patience to let me set up my tripod, so most of the time I have to rely on strangers to take a snapshot of the two of us. And, as you can probably guess, those pictures don’t always come out too good. However, his latest passion are drones, so you gave me a great idea to use a drone for that.

February 25, 2018 at 5:12 pm

Hi Anda, Thanks, glad you enjoyed our post on couples photos 😉 We have taken photos together in about every way possible now so wanted to share our methods and tips, and I think people just have to find the one that works best with their travel style and equipment. Laurence got a drone a couple of months ago for his birthday and has been a bit obsessed with it as well, although practically the thing has a ton of limitations (rain/wind/birds/airport proximity/flight restrictions). But I do think if you are in less populated areas, drones can be a good option to get some cool couple shots as you can get some interesting angles, and perhaps a method your husband will enjoy doing 😉 Best, Jessica

On our last few trips, we’ve booked local photographers. I love it because we get good pictures and because we’ve been able to get great local recommendations, too. I’m trying to decide where we are going to do pictures on our next trip, actually!! I’ve done tripod pictures a few times, but my husband is super nervous about me leaving my camera anywhere unattended – even if we’re nearby… so it’s my least favorite option, lol. It’s always nice when strangers don’t mind snapping pictures for you, too. I’ve gotten a few great ones that way.

February 25, 2018 at 4:45 pm

Hi Sara, Yes, booking a local photographer is a great way to get some really nice vacation couples photos, and glad to hear that you had a positive experience with that as well as with asking strangers. That is a good point that local photographers can give some great tips for scenic spots and things to do in a new place.

I do think others would share you and your husband’s worry about the tripod, and it is perhaps not the best option unless you are doing it either in a pretty safe and controlled place or are doing it professionally and have insurance on all your gear. Having your camera damaged or stolen would be a terrible thing to happen on a trip. We had our tripod blown over by a sudden gust of wind in France (we were not taking photos of ourselves and were standing right next to it) and it sent it smashing over into concrete. We were lucky as it was only a small amount of damage to a lens but it was still not a cheap fix!

Great tips! I actually just started dating someone and going from taking solo photos to taking photos with someone has been a learning curve. These are great tips!

I most of the time hate the pictures taken by strangers. Sometimes I ask if I see someone with a reflex camera, it seems like people are not used to look through the camera to take a picture 🙂

February 25, 2018 at 4:35 pm

Hi Shere, Hmmm..I think that if you are always getting bad photos the problem may be that you are not setting up the camera into a good mode for the shooter or not giving enough direction. You want to set up your camera so it is as foolproof as possible and just show them what to do – the more simple it is is, the harder it is for them to not do it correctly. For instance we use a back button focus typically, but turn this off whenever we give it to someone and put it into an auto focus so they just have to compose and shoot. You do need to tell them whether they need to look at a screen or through the glass, but we haven’t found that to be too much of an issue typically. But it also does help to try to ask someone who looks like they may know how to operate your type of smartphone or camera. Try that next time and see if you get a better photo.

You are probably not going to get perfect photos this way, but we find that most people can take decent photos with little coaching, and for us it is definitely better than not having any photos of us together.

Hope that helps! Jessica

Great tips. I am going to have to look into some of those sites where you can hire a professional photographer. If I can get a good deal on that, it would be a lot of fun.

Sandra Post author

February 25, 2018 at 1:11 am

Great tips! My husband and I rarely take pictures of us together and struggle to get good ones but we are trying to be better at it. I still refuse to use a selfie stick though!

February 25, 2018 at 8:24 am

Hi Sandra, Yes, so many people struggle to get good travel couple photos! We resisted on buying a selfie stick for a long time, but finally bought one last year. We don’t use it very often (the battery seems to always be dead when we need it), but we found it can be very helpful to grab a quick photo here or there when we are in places where tripods are not practical and/or there are not other people to ask for a shot. We have also used it for short live videos so we can be included in the video more easily.

A tripod or asking someone else are our two go-to methods, but hiring a professional photographer is a really easy way to get some really nice photos in a destination. We ourselves will hire someone else if we want candid shots or shots we can’t really get ourselves. The key is to hire someone who takes the style of photos you enjoy and knows the area well.

Best of luck getting better vacation couples photos this year! Jessica

February 25, 2018 at 8:15 am

Hi Lolo, Yes, we definitely have some trips where we have almost no photos of us together which is a bit of a shame. I wish we had more but it definitely takes a bit more time to get them, or at least a good one. We obviously get better photos with a tripod or asking someone else, but if you are just short of time (or often forget) just reaching our your arm or buying a selfie stick can help you get more snaps if you are just looking for some couple travel memories. Best, Jessica

I’m learning from you on this one! I don’t think I could carry around a selfie stick, but I love your idea about asking someone else, and if you don’t like it, just waiting for someone else:) That is so true, but I never thought of it! I totally agree that candids photos end up being the favorites, and yet the impulse to pose is so strong. I wonder why? My brother in law is an amateur landscape photographer and all he does is talk about the light. According to him, early morning is the best light. Problem is, I’d rather be snoozing on vacation at that time!

Hi Seana, Glad you found the tips useful and hope you get better couples photos on your next trip.

That is an interesting point. I think posing is just how we are taught to react to photos from a young age, especially when getting formal photos (school photos, prom photos, wedding photos). Also historically cameras were fixed in place and you couldn’t move if you were sitting for one – in fact you had to stay still for several minutes (they had a little rest behind your head to keep it in place!). So I think it all comes for all that and while we ourselves take posed photos all the time, it is often the candid and more relaxed ones we enjoy the most.

Yes, the light is best around sunrise and sunset, so if you have trouble getting up for sunrise, head out around sunset if you can for some nice light. It is definitely hard to get up for sunrise, especially during the parts of the year when it is super early – definitely not a time most people want to get up while on vacation!

IMPORTANT: Never travel without travel insurance!

Here are three companies that I’ve used , and thoroughly recommend :

• HeyMondo – the best value travel insurance provider on the market. They cover virtually every country in the world, they have an easy-to-use app , and their policies are straightforward and upfront , with minimal (often no) deductibles and excesses.
• SafetyWing – if you’re a digital nomad like me, it’s essential that you have suitable insurance. It’s super flexible  and affordable , you can sign up for as little or as long as you want, and can activate and deactivate it whenever you need to.
• World Nomads – for  adventurous travellers , covers 200+ activities that many other insurers won’t, such as  skydiving, heli-skiing,  rock climbing, rafting, scuba diving, cliff jumping, and kiteboarding (not available for residents of every country – check here ).

Want to start your own blog?

• This FREE 1-hour SEO training video is the best place to start. (I also took their full course which taught me most of what I know today about SEO.)

Why I Love Travel Photography

There are a lot of things I love in this world: good food, gorgeous sunsets, the feeling of waking up after a great night’s sleep… But there’s one thing that I love more than anything else: travel photography.

I love to travel, point blank. But there’s something about holding the viewfinder up to my eye and capturing everything that I see that makes travel all the more exciting. When I take pictures during my travels, I feel whole. I seriously do.

And while I don’t think it’s 100% possible to put into words everything it is about travel photography that I find so fulfilling, I’m going to try to do my best. Because there’s a magic in travel photography that I think everyone should experience at least once in their life.

P.S. Love travel photography as much as me? Grab my free cheatsheet below to learn 10 quick & easy ways to improve your travel photography!

1. I get to revisit my best memories time and time again

I don’t know about you, but there are few memories out there that measure up to the memories I make while traveling (well, besides major life events like graduating and the first time that Daniel and I kissed 😉 ).

But let’s be real: I have a s*** memory.

I suck at names, I never manage to remember everything I have to do unless I write it down, and even my biggest life events have foggy details. But when I look at a photo I took years ago, the whole scene comes rushing back. I’m able to remember the sights, the sounds, the smells-absolutely everything. Right down to the conversation I was having with my travel buddy ( if I had a travel buddy, that is ).

Taking the time to capture the moment when I’m in it means that I can relive that moment again and again. And I love that.

2. I actually become more aware of my surroundings

A lot of people argue that taking too many photographs means you’re not living in the moment or truly experiencing what you’re doing. I call bulls***.

In fact, when I’m focused on taking great photos of my travels, I’m more in tune with my surroundings than at any other time.

Why? Because I’m always on the lookout for something that no one else has seen before. I’m looking up at the tops of buildings, down at the sidewalk below me, and all around, my eye fine-tuned and ready to snap whatever unique thing it is that I see next.

I can’t let my mind wander for fear of missing out on a great shot. I’m always pushed to do new things, turn down streets I never would have before.

Photography doesn’t stop me from living in the moment. Far from it. It makes me live in the moment.

3. Everyone has a different perspective

Sometimes I get discouraged, thinking that there are so many pictures out there that there’s no way what I’m doing will be unique. But that’s not true. Everyone has a unique perspective. A unique take on the world and their surroundings. And that shows through in their photography.

Everyone has a different way of photographing things. Different compositions, different things they want to include, different editing techniques. And we’re all there at different times, meaning we’re all capturing a unique moment in time that will never happen again.

A few weeks ago I was in Trento, Italy attending a travel blogging conference, and there were about 15 of us who went on a photography workshop with Tom Archer . We all stood taking photos of the same castle on the same lake for several hours. But not a single one of us took the same photo. And seeing the results of that photoshoot on people’s Instagrams and blogs these past few weeks has been so. cool. Who knew that there were so many different ways to capture one scene?

Yes, there are a gazillion pictures of the Eiffel Tower out there. But they are a gazillion unique pictures of the Eiffel Tower, each one capturing what the photographer was thinking and seeing at that exact moment. Isn’t that pretty freaking beautiful?

4. It allows me to share my love of travel with the world

I don’t know if you guys knew this or not, but… I really love to travel. Like, I’m straight up obsessed. To me, there is nothing better than jumping on a plane (or a train, or a boat, or a car, or any other form of transportation you can dream up…) and exploring somewhere new. Getting to know the ins and outs of that place. Having my mind blown by the beauty of the world and the kindness of people over and over and over again.

It’s an experience I think everyone should be able to have at least once in their life. But so many people who have the privilege to do so don’t take advantage of it.

I want to use my photos to inspire people to travel, no matter what the cost. I want to show them what they’re missing out on.

And here’s the crazy thing: it works.

It might be a small sample size, but I’ve had several friends tell me that it was my blog, and particularly my photos, that inspired them to travel more.

Who would have thought a single photo could have that kind of influence?

5. It costs me nothing

Travel costs a lot of money. And we all know I don’t have it in my budget to get super fancy with souvenirs. Or the room in my 40L backpack.

Taking a camera along costs me nothing (besides, you know, the cost of the camera and the weight on my back), and adds no extra bulk to my backpack as I go along. I like collecting postcards, too, but as my photography skills have developed I’ve gotten pretty lax on this. The photos on postcards just don’t feel like mine do. They don’t convey those unique experiences that I had.

Photos that I take during my travels both convey those personal experiences and don’t cost me an extra euro (so I can then go and spend that euro on a street waffle or some other delicious treat).

There are so many reasons that I love travel photography. So many reasons that it makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. These are just a few of them. The others can’t be put into words.

Now tell me: do you take photos of your travels? Does travel photography fill you with the same kind of joy that it does me? Drop me a comment below!

Addie, I’m obsessed with everything you wrote in this post!! I feel the exact same way. I remember more about my trips when I go through the photographs. I’m woefully behind on making books of our travels, but one of my favorite things is when we curl up and go through them and talk about our trips. I also love seeing everyone else’s perspectives on the same place. I believe that photography has enriched my experiences in ways that I can’t quantify, but you did an awesome job of explaining a bit of it for me, too!

Nicola Coughlan and Luke Newton Hold Hands at Bridgerton Season 3 Premiere in Australia

Penelope and Colin's love story will be the main plot of the upcoming season.

Every item on this page was chosen by a Town & Country editor. We may earn commission on some of the items you choose to buy.

The Netflix romance series, based on Julia Quinn's bestselling novels of the same name, is set to return next month with new leads: Nicola Coughlan, who plays Penelope, and Luke Newton, who plays Colin. (The third season will take its inspiration from Romancing Mister Bridgerton , the fourth book in Quinn's series.)

The global press tour for Bridgerton season three kicked off this past weekend in Australia, with Coughlan and Newton walking the red carpet together. They sweetly posed holding hands.

"We've known each other now five years and people were like, 'What did you do to build the chemistry?' And I'm like, 'Well, we just stopped repressing it, and then it was fine, we didn't have to do anything,'" Coughlan said at the premiere, per a clip shared by Elle Australia .

In seasons one and two of Bridgerton , Penelope was pining for Colin, and in the final episode of last season , she overhears him telling his friends he would never court her. "I don't think he means it in a horrible way," Newton told Town & Country around the season two premiere, "but also I think he does see her as a friend. He sees her as this best friend that he's had growing up. So he's clouded by that, and it comes out in the wrong way. He wants to say 'she's my best friend,' but he doesn't wanna play that in front of the boys." The past two seasons set up the friends-to-lovers trope that will be at the heart of season three.

For the Australian premiere, Coughlan wore a custom Richard Quinn gown, and Newton wore AMI Paris . Coughlan wrote on Instagram "A special thank you to THE Richard Quinn- I contacted him because I have been obsessed with this dress since I first saw it on the runway and dreamed of wearing it. I asked him if he and his brilliant team made it for me and they they did and it's better than I ever could’ve imagined."

Though the Australian premiere took place this past weekend, there's still a few weeks until audiences around the world will be able to tune in: Bridgerton season three, part one premieres on May 16, and part two drops on June 13.
