How much can I make in a Career in Travel Photography?


Career in Travel Photography

I find a Career in Travel Photography very interesting. For me understanding Why I want to choose a Career in Travel Photography is phenomenally more important than figuring out How to get into Travel Photography. It had been a while since I was researching about a Career in Travel Photography, when I came across: https://www.lifepage.in/career/20181212-0002/Others/Photography/Career-in-Travel-Photography/english 

Vinod Verma's outlook!

Vinod Verma has worked in Travel Photography for 14 years & 1 month. Vinod Verma has worked in Travel Photography as Travel Photgrapher in Vinod Verma Photography. In Vinod Verma's own words, this is how Vinod Verma got into Travel Photography: "After leaving my hotel job overnight, the first thing on my mind was Travel. To fulfill it I learned photography and after 12 years of experience, I now called myself as a Travel Photographer. I have worked for various travel magazines and travel guides. I am a traveler, biker, photographer, and hotelier, ready to dedicate rest of my life to Homestays of India." Vinod Verma has a profile in a very interesting format on: https://www.lifepage.in/page/vinodverma 

Career Video on Travel Photography

In a video, Vinod Verma has talked about various aspects of a Career in Travel Photography. Vinod Verma started by explaining Travel Photography as: "Travel photography is a genre of photography that may involve the documentation of an area's landscape, people, cultures, customs and history." It was a very interesting video and I enjoyed watching it.


I found the video unique because it talked about Education in terms of things which can be learnt from books, to excel at a Career in Travel Photography and not as a list of Qualifications, which one needs to get into Travel Photography. Vinod Verma touches upon these in the Education section of the Video:

  • Camera & Equipments

Vinod Verma then explains why these Skills are essential for a Career in Travel Photography:

  • Observation Skills
  • Love for Nature
  • Adventure and Exploration
  • Communication Skills
  • Social Skills
  • Reading & Research Skills

It is important to get an understanding of the Positives of this Career.
Vinod Verma believes that the following are some of the Positives of a Career in Travel Photography:

  • Fame & Recognition
  • Trying New Cuisines
  • Meeting New People
  • Travelling

Challenges are the other side of Positives and this Career is no exception.
And, Vinod Verma believes that one needs to prepare for following Challenges of a Career in Travel Photography:

  • Standing Out
  • Less Monetary Potential
  • Time Consuming
  • Self Control
