Travel & Adventure Photography School

Welcome back to the long-awaited return of the Travel and Adventure Photography School podcast! I'm your host, Robert Massey, and I can't express how excited I am to bring this show back to life after a 16-month break. Get ready for a fresh perspective as we take this podcast out of the studio and into the great outdoors.In this episode, recorded beside the stunning Bow River in Banff National Park, I open up about the challenges of creative burnout that led to the podcast's hiatus. As a full-time content creator and photographer in one of my favorite places on Earth, Banff National Park, I found myself struggling to balance work, creativity, and personal time. Creative burnout hit me hard, and I had to reevaluate my approach to find the joy in my craft again.Throughout the episode, I share my journey of self-discovery, reflecting on the signs of creative burnout, the toll it took on my relationships, and the impact it had on my photography and work. I reveal the strategies and tools that helped me overcome creative burnout, including giving myself space to step away from creativity when needed and finding a new creative outlet through drawing.I also discuss the importance of reflection and connecting with supportive individuals during challenging times. By reaching out to those who understand and care about us, we can gain valuable insights and rekindle our creative fire.If you've ever experienced creative burnout or simply want to learn more about maintaining a healthy and sustainable creative journey, this episode is for you. Join us as we venture into the great outdoors, explore new perspectives, and inspire each other in the world of travel and adventure photography.Thank you for being part of our community, and let's embark on this exciting new chapter together. Adventure awaits!

Travel is picking up again. Countries are reopening borders. Life is getting back to some semblance of what our normal is now. And that means that a lot more people will be packing up their cameras and hitting the air. This is such an exciting moment for many people. To see the world again, have new experiences, and meet people from other cultures. And that also means packing up the camera gear and travelling with it. We put our cameras through a lot, bouncing in turbulence on airplanes, falling from overhead bins on trains, bouncing around on automobiles the world over. To make sure they get to their destinations in working order, ready for you to do your job, you need to pack them properly. Cameras are rugged, but there is a right and a wrong way to pack them. And as much as you can pack them properly, the better chance you won't be replacing parts or missing shots.

This week's episode will be a big one for many of you out there. I'll be talking about some of the signs you'll have to let you know that you're ready to go pro. Going pro means a lot of different things to a lot of people, but for me, it doesn't necessarily mean quitting your 9 to 5 and going full-time. It can mean selling prints part-time, taking on client gigs on weekends, or going full bore into this. Wherever you're at, the things I'll be talking about today will give you an idea of if you are ready to start taking on those paying gigs.If you enjoy the podcast, please subscribe and rate it where you can.

For the first episode back, I want to get into something that could significantly impact your photography business. Something that should help you land more clients and have some money rolling in the door, regardless of if you are working full time or just doing this on the side. I'm going to help you pitch your work to content managers, creative directors, and anyone in charge of making beautiful things at brands around the world. I've taken on this role at a tourism board and couldn't be more thrilled that I get to work with incredible creatives to help promote the destination I work for. And in the now seven months I've been in this position, I've learned a lot about pitching, what works, and what just irritates me. So today, I'm going to give you four tips to help get your pitch through the door and make it more likely that you will get a callback. This is coming from the perspective of someone working in the tourism industry. Still, I think it applies across a broad spectrum of brands and businesses.As we get going, there are a few things that I'm taking for granted here with you, the listener. You are interested in working with brands to make content - if you're not, this information really won't help you. You can consistently create fantastic images, and you are ready to put in the work. Because working with brands can be a lot of fun; but it is also a lot of time, energy and effort.You can follow along with Robert's adventures on Instagram @RobertMasseyPhotography.

Photography can be a bit difficult to prioritize, even if it is your main gig. I've been so focused on teaching, building new websites, transferring content and prepping for the new year (along with the regular family blowouts) that I haven't really had time to hit up the mountains yet in the new year.And I know I'm not the only one that has this happen to them. When life gets busy, and there are many things to focus on, crafting images can get pushed to the back burner. For me, photography isn't just about work. It's also a creative release and a way to relax and see the world. And that's what photography is for a lot of people. When it gets pushed to the bottom of the list, it means that I am working too hard and not focusing on my mental health, and I'm sure that goes the same for everyone out there. Relaxation and mental health are integral to getting the most out of life, and if you want to create better photos, you need to be out shooting often. So don't let your photography just sit idle. With that in mind, today's episode is all about things you can do to get out shooting more often.Check out the full show notes here.You can follow along with the Travel and Adventure Photography School on Instagram @TravelAdventurePhotoSchool You can also follow along with the work of our host Robert Massey on Instagram @RobertMasseyPhotography

Mobility and movement are key as travel and adventure photographers. When our bodies hurt or when they just don’t feel right, we just don’t shoot as well. We won’t necessarily want to get into places or be able to get into positions to take great shots.For me, one of the keys to keeping moving is mobility. Last week we talked about yoga and a few other wellness tools I use to keep moving. Well, this week I’m bringing my friend and adventure buddy and fellow photographer Sarah Kuindersma, a Muscle Activation Technique specialist and photographer, onto the podcast to talk about some of the things we can do as photographers to move better and to get more mobile.Sarah has made a special YouTube video with stretches and mobility specifically geared towards photographers.

As winter starts to deepen over the Canadian Rockies, I got to thinking about winter landscape photography. I know so many photographers who hunker down over the snowy months, not wanting to go outside when it's cold or out into blizzards to create new content. And that makes me truly sad.

Instagram is one of the world’s most widely used and popular social media platforms. It is the one ubiquitous with photographers, given that it is a highly photo and video-centric platform.
