3 ways to get the most beautiful travel pics

• Pay a professional photographer to make you look good

In order to capture the perfect travel moment on Instagram, one is often forced to ask one’s long suffering partner or, indeed, a complete stranger, to take the picture. This usually results in a photo that is either blurry or unflattering (or both). If you’re serious about capturing some truly fantastic photos on your travels, consider employing a photographer to take the pictures for you. This doesn’t have to be a vast expense, and can result in a much more enjoyable travel experience for both you and your companions.

• The early bird gets the best shots

Lighting is key when it comes to Instagram. If your picture looks drab or out of focus then it’s not going to garner much attention. The best lighting is achieved in the early morning – as the sun rises it creates a soft, natural light that is ideal for landscape pictures and photos of the beach. If you get up early, you’ll also avoid the crowds and create the impression that it’s just you alone with nature.

• Focus on the beauty of your surroundings

If you’re interested in travel photography, leave the selfies to the fashion & beauty posse and focus on showcasing the destination. That’s not to mean you can’t be in the picture – after all these are your photos and your memories. Think about ways you can use your presence to showcase the primary subject: the scenery. For example, ask someone to photograph you from behind looking thoughtfully into the distance, or use your body to help to provide scale and perspective to the shot.
