Have you ever been on a trip and wondered why your photos don't turn out like the images you see in travel magazines?

If you're going to spend thousands of dollars on a trip and hundreds to thousands of dollars on a camera,

you owe it to yourself to get the highest quality images from your trip.

That's why I created the Travel Photography Academy. I set out to travel around the world in

2007 with an expensive camera and I had no idea how to use it. As I traveled around the world

I taught myself the art of travel photography, eventually mastering it to a point where I was

named travel photographer the year three times in North America. The Travel Photography Academy is an online course that

teaches you everything you need to know to master your camera and to take better

photos on your next trip. To improve your photography and to get better images
