Contents
Introduction

Ive been taking photographs for as long as I can remember. My passion began when my mother handed me my first Kodak Instamatic in 1977. What started out as a way to keep a young boy out of mischief blossomed into a lifelong pursuit of personal expression. Ive always been fascinated by people and by their relationships with others and their environment. Its this natural curiosity that has fueled my addiction to travel and to observing through the lens.

The Goal of This Book

The number-one goal of this book is to help you take your street and travel photography to the next level, and help you get the images you envision. Photography can be confusing at times, but the technical aspects of exposure and composition should never hold you back from getting the photograph you want. I made many mistakes early on with my photography, but through them I have learned a lot, and Im happy to say I discover something new every day.

This book isnt intended to be the gospel of travel and street photography. Rather its a guide that jump-starts your creative photographic endeavors while helping you avoid a few bumps and bruises along the way.

What You Will Accomplish

Well start off by discussing potential camera kits, tips for planning a journey, getting a good exposure, and creating better compositions. Its important to note that I can attest only to what I use and how I do things. Im not a fan of speculation or recommending techniques that I dont use every day. If you ask a group of 20 photographers how they would approach a photograph, youll get 20 different answers. Photography should challenge you, and it should also be something we can all enjoy regardless of skill level. Its my hope that I have distilled my experiences into an easy-to-understand methodology that you can duplicateand improve upon.

, you should have a stronger foundation in photography and be prepared to begin your journey.

Starting with , well discuss the pros and cons of observing and engaging your subject. Next well travel to the urban environment, where Ill share insights into getting the shots you want and using best practices, and give you some creative tips. Then were off to the countryside, where well shift our focus to capturing sweeping vistas, rural communities, and road trips. Ill provide detailed information on how to get a great landscape shot as well as interact with people in more rural settings. Finally, well wrap up by discussing the legalities of street and travel photography and how to organize your post-processing workflow.

Make sure to download bonus . After you register the book, a link to access bonus content will appear on your Account page in the Registered Products tab. NOTE: if you purchased an ebook, youre coveredthe chapter is already included.

This book is a journey we will make together, and I will be there along the way, giving guidance and tips. At any point if you get lost or stuck, you email and Ill answer. Feel free to contact me at www.johnbatdorff.com.
