When photographer Andrew Rowat went to China to shoot a golf story for Air Canada’s enRoute magazine, he had to orchestrate over a hundred caddies and their golf carts to portray the growing popularity of golf in that country. Travel photography might sound like a dream job (and it is), but the complexities and challenges (hello hurricanes!) are far greater than in your average studio shoot. From insights of life on the road to what photo editors are looking for, we’ll share the ins and outs of commissioning, producing and editing photography for a travel magazine.
