Before Sean became a travel photographer, he worked a 9-5 job like most Americans. He had a Masters degree in a field he loved, and was passionate about his work. But, something wasn't right, and an urge within him lead him to leave his job and pursue a career in travel photography. Despite early hardships, Sean was able to expand his small photography business to the global level, and is now recognized as a prominent travel photographer. 

In this 80 minute course, Sean teaches you everything you need to know about how to become a self-sufficient travel photographer, providing you with several techniques that can help you take your photography business globally, including:

  • How to utilize your social media accounts
  • How to grow a stock photography portfolio
  • How to utilize alternative methods like online teaching, photography blogging, and more.

Whether you're a professional photographer that has always dreamed of becoming a travel photographer, or someone that has an interest in photography and is just looking to travel, there is something in this course for everyone. This course covers everything you need to know about taking your photography business to the global level, allowing you to live a much more free and adventurous life.
