Photography and Travel is a Natural Fit For Travel NursesPhotography and travel go hand in hand. It’s natural that we take lots of pictures on vacations and special events. But step it up a few notches by adding travel photography to your travel nurse career. Through artful use of digital photography you can record the true spirit of a place. Take memorable photographs of people, festivals, wildlife, and architecture. Today’s digital cameras and image editing software has made taking professional looking travel photos much easier.
Capture the essence of travel nursing through photography and create a journal of your experiences. Not only will it give you a lifetime of memories, it will give you a portfolio of your own.
As you become more skilled at capturing that essence, consider selling your travel photos. There are several stock photography sites that resell photos for you. Every time someone buys your image, you get paid. If someone is searching for a nurse image, they may pick your nurse submission. Or maybe they are searching for a jet ski rider and you just happen to have a great picture of a friend shooting through a wave on a jet ski. Every time someone picks one of your photos, you increase your passive income. Beware that any identifiable person in a photo must sign a waiver. Stock photography sites have submission requirements and how-to instructions listed on their sites.
Write articles about the places you travel and take corresponding photos. You will be paid more when you have a photo to illustrate your words.
Learn the techniques of professional looking travel photos. A good course will help you get the light, angle, and perspective correct. This increases your chance of selling you photos…sometimes over and over. You don’t need the most expensive camera gear to take great pictures. A decent digital camera, good lighting and some basic guidance and you’ll be well on your way to a fun career that compliments your travel nursing experiences.
