Clockwise from below: Shop till you drop – street art by the infamous
Banksy in London. A sadhu, or holy man, in Varanasi, India. The Faroe
Islands, as wild as they are spectacular. The Maldives are the epitome
of idyllic, above and below the surface.

Before you start shooting, do your
research. Some lodges offer pre-dawn
access to Sossusvlei – just in time for
“golden hour” – while others offer
photographic guides to get you started.
Allow plenty of time, too: distances are
long and the gravel roads are tough on
tyres, so don’t rush. Also, beware of the
dust: good gear protection is essential
when clambering up Big Daddy dune to
snap that perfect shot.

INDIA
So you’ve decided to up your
game when it comes to travel
photography? Call your Sure
Travel agent to book a ticket
to India today. For starters, it’s
incredibly cheap on the Randela, but also
offers an incredible range of imagery when
it comes to landscapes, cities and culture.
Want to shoot mountain vistas? Head
for the Himalayas or Indian Kashmir.
Tropical beach scenes? Goa’s got your
back. Teeming megalopolis? There’s a
reason Mumbai is dubbed “Maximum
City”. Ancient cultures? The cremation

ghats of Varanasi are burning.
You won’t be the first to shoot
India, though, so in the more popular
destinations look for the unusual. In
Jaipur and Udaipur, the details on painted
elephants or ancient forts will make
your shots stand out. In Agra, find a new
perspective on the Taj Mahal from the
Mehtab Bagh gardens across the river.
