Travel ‘light’, and this does not stop at limiting the weight of the equipment you take with you. You should also travel light’ in a mental sense, sticking to a simple camera that you can operate without concentrating (you will have other things on your mind), when the time comes to take your picture.

Local people can make great subjects for your photographs, and we have all seen many appealing and fascinating examples in magazines and photography books. However, it is important always to approach people with caution and, above all, respect.

Take care when photographing the locals. The best approach is to ask permission loudly and clearly, or at least make it clear that you would like to take a picture. Always bear your subject’s feelings closely in mind.

Unusual or exotic locations often make for compelling images. However, if you can work in an extra element to your photograph – such as the boy running with a football in the foreground of this picture - you can make an already eye-catching scene even more interesting. Sometimes it is worth waiting around a while in order to capture the best possible shot.
