You are inspired by beauty and look for it in the most unlikely of places. You’ve read Art Wolfe’s “Travels to the Edge – A Photo Odyssey” from cover to cover. If you have to make a choice between a tripod or an extra pair of strappy black sandals, that dress you’ve packed will have to find a way to work with flats. 

When planning a trip, you ensure you build in enough time in each location to ensure multiple shoots under different lighting. You are patient and inquisitive. Things can’t be rushed for you. Like the Culture Vulture, you are intrigued by the human experience. The words “Say Cheese” are only ever uttered in a trattoria – never ever when snapping a portrait. 

Once outside urban dwellings, you are at home with mother nature – whether you prefer mountainscapes or a pride of lions captured on the savannah, you’ll have the perfect lens at the ready to make the shot. And unlike the Travelista or the Escape Artist, getting up at 5 AM to catch a magical sunrise, even if it means missing breakfast, is something you wouldn’t think twice about. You probably consider yourself an introvert, shy, reserved. Willing to hang for hours as the light dips and the crowds disperse. Your main travel goal is to document and capture moments to share.
