Episode 27: Exclusive Travel Photographer of the Year interview

This episode we have an exclusive interview with Chris Coe, founder of the Travel Photographer of the Year competition. Now in its 19th year, Chris talks us through the contest’s successes, a challenging but rewarding year in the face of the global pandemic, his own photography projects, and a new venture designed to inspire and educate photographers to shoot better travel images. And if you’re thinking of entering the 2021 competition, which is open now, there’s also some great advice on what works – and what doesn’t – in travel photography. Also this episode, join the Photography News team as they dive into such diverse topics as: the botanical thrills of flower photography; choosing the right camera kit to take on your holidays; the benefits of in-camera sensor cropping; how to handle your memory cards the smart way; whether or not you need to add grip tape to your gear; and how many photography bags you can own before it looks weird. Phew! Plus, Photography News’s Editor, Will, reveals his favourite inkjet papers for home printing, with glowing reviews on high-quality stocks from the likes of Epson, Fotospeed, Hahnemuhle, Innova and Permajet. And to top it all off, our resident experts at mpb.com deal out some vital tips for one lucky reader who’s outgrown their Canon compact and is looking to upgrade to a fully fledged DSLR.
