Photo editing is the art of finding the best images to tell a story, but Krista Rossow, a former photo editor at National Geographic Traveler magazine, would also argue that for travel photography, photo editing begins even before taking a picture. Today's photographers are their own photo editors, and not in the sense of using Instagram filters or Photoshop, but in the sense of selecting the best imagery to share with an audience, whether that is in a family album or professional portfolio.
Rossow gives tips on how to "improve your photographic odds" by preparing to take travel photographs through research and planning. She discusses considerations for capturing the best images while in the field and gives insight into the process of curating the best images once the images have been made. From her practical experience as a photographer on assignment and as a photo editor needing to convey an effective story, Rossow gives you practical insight into improving your photography and telling your own story.
