Be prepared. When I travel to a new destination I
do my research by looking up work that has been
shot by other photographers. It helps me figure
out which parts of a city or country can offer an
authentic experience.
As soon as I arrive I start exploring with my
camera inside my bag. I search for street markets
or places where local people hang out. Not a
single guide book in the world will beat the tips of
local people.
The most magical moments happen when you go
with the flow. That is what travel is all about for me.
A destination that has changed me is India. It’s a
place that puts things in perspective; going there
has altered my outlook on life.
Shoot as much as you can. Always carry a camera,
as practise makes perfect. But
remember that photography
requires patience and persistence,
so enjoy the ride.
