travel photography

Capturing foreign landscapes

Travel photography is the practice of photographing places, cultures, and experiences encountered while traveling.

It encompasses landscapes, architecture, street scenes, local people, and cultural events—anything that captures the character of a destination.

The genre ranges from casual vacation snapshots to professional documentary work: Her travel photography from Morocco filled three galleries.

Unlike photojournalism, it emphasizes aesthetic appeal and personal perspective over news value.
