With a series of step-by-step rules, professional photographer Steve Davey will illustrate how you can improve your travel portraits and also use them as an excuse to meet and interact with locals on your travels. Steve is the author of the BBC's Unforgettable Places to See Before You Die, and more recently Footprint Travel Photography. Steve also has his own range of travel photography tours, with local arrangements provided by Intrepid Travel.
