In celebration of my new book, Capture the World: The Ultimate Guide to Evocative Travel Photography & Inspired Digital Storytelling, I’ve curated my top 100 travel photos from around the world.
Nothing opens the mind like travel. New places and cultures have a transformational power that expands our consciousness, pushing us deep into a place that’s both overwhelming yet grounding. Quantum physics teaches us that what we ‘see’ as reality is anything but. Not only is our perception merely an illusion but even this, we perceive through a cluttered and bias lens of past experience, likes, dislikes, and long-held beliefs. This static and rigid schema begins in childhood and solidifies as our ego expands and we begin to subconsciously filter out what we don’t consider valuable.
The problem here is we miss so much. We stop appreciating the raw, present experiences and instead edit, rehearse and re-run life in our head. Yet, travel has the power to break down this arrogant veil and get us seeing the world anew again. It makes us present and appreciative as well as imbues an understanding that our way of living is only one among many yet, we’re all connected as humans across cultures as a giant diverse web of collective consciousness.
For me, I think it’s important to capture these moments. To freeze time and light of a moment and make it immortal. Travel photography is powerful and serves as not just a reminder of our travels and the vastness of the globe but also inspires us to wander profoundly, travel deeply and surrender wholly… to take the Road Less Travelled. I did, and that has made all the difference.
This collection spans countries, continents, and cultures. So, strap yourself in for a visual journey taking in the top photos from around the world.
