With summer often comes vacation, and with that comes travel photography. For those of you looking for inspiration while documenting an upcoming trip or for the unlucky souls stuck at home with a serious case of envy or wanderlust, these picture series could be helpful (or make your desire to travel worse than ever).
Many of these captures are from travelling photographers, such as faceless couple photography and worldly Instagram photography. Others are more explorative than others, with a distinct National Geographic vibe (like gorgeous arctic photography). On the other hand, many fashion editorials are shot in exotic locations with the purpose of imitating travel photography and turning it into a new art form, as seen in modern tropical, modern Moroccan fashion and American roadtrip editorials.
