How to Best Photograph a Destination You've Never Been Before
Be sure to check out http://www.brendansadventures.com for more of my photography. I'm on Instagram at / brendanvanson I know, this is a monster-length video! But, I really wanted to give you insight into what goes on in photographing a destination like Florence. This was actually a viewer question. Someone wanted to know how I can possibly photograph an entire city in just a couple days, especially a city I've never been before. Thus, I thought my time in Florence, Italy served as the perfect location to show you what goes into a day in a life of a travel photographer. This shows what goes into photographing a destination you've never been before. In short, it comes down to research, planning, and then executing that photography plan. I'm going to have a full photography guide to Florence in about a week, so be sure to stay tuned for that!
