Capture the World: The Ultimate Guide to Evocative Travel Photography and Inspired Digital Storytelling 

Capture the world is the ultimate travel photography ebook and a one-of-a-kind guide to incredible travel photography. This visually enchanting book is a catalyst for taking your travel photography to the next level. Capture the World takes us on a global journey through places and cultures and transcends our photography from attempted postcard-like, flat landscapes to capturing evocative travel scenes.

Capture the World is not just a travel photography book. It’s also a book about cultures and a story about how experiencing foreign lands and its people can open your mind and heart, allowing you to see the world objectively again.

It’s a book about human psychology that covers the intricacies of what humans find beautiful and how these patterns are reflected in nature. Once we understand beauty in terms of universal patterns, we can talk about composition in terms of sacred geometry and move beyond simply ‘framing a scene’. It’s also a book that speaks to our yearning for an emotional, vulnerable and authentic connection with people and cultures as we navigate through this plastic, glossy materialistic world infested by advertising. In the context of modern-day digital media, Capture the World speaks of creating engagement through authenticity in photography and digital storytelling.

… the most important sections of Capture the World aren’t actually the tactical details about how to master light, exposure and shutter speed. The crucial story here is about how to generate the right mindset to uncover hidden moments and capture beautiful experiences hidden in the mundane…
