Travel Photography: Do it Alone, but Not by Yourself | Susan Seubert | TEDxEHC

Travel photography is the dream job. Who doesn't want to get paid to travel the world and take photos? Susan Seubert explains what it's like to be a part of this "DIY" career, and how it is different than people might think. Award-winning travel and editorial photographer Susan Seubert has photographed more than 30 feature stories for National Geographic Traveler. Her subjects range from Canada to the Caribbean and Texas to Thailand and beyond. Susan’s work has been recognized by Columbia University’s Alfred Eisenstadt Award and most recently by the North American Travel Journalists Association for excellence in photography. She lectures regularly about her work at such institutions as Harvard University and the Portland Art Museum. Based in Portland, Oregon and Maui, Hawaii, Susan travels throughout the world shooting a variety of subjects and capturing a sense of place through her wide-ranging imagery. Susan’s in-depth knowledge of digital technologies and her multimedia skills keep her at the cutting edge of visual storytelling. Born and raised in Indiana, she earned her Bachelor’s Degree in Fine Arts from the Pacific Northwest College of Art and hasn’t set her camera down since. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx

Thank you so much for this speech! I have the same passion to show the beauty and tell a story with my photography. I just got accepted to "arts school/ for photography" at the age of 32. I will always remember these words and be humble!

Nothing personal, your adventures are great, but the way you describe it is super boring! Very...I love me

[@pwx8460]

Huh?, did you even bother to read the title, or are you commenting on a different video? She clearly stated it is NOT all about oneself.

[@Bardamu3000]

No. Next!

[@madvar]

I’m sure she’s a wonderful person and very talented but all in all a pointless talk. Should have been entitled ‘the cult of me’.

[@pwx8460]

What a comment. 🙄 Did you even watch the video. She LITERALLY said the exact opposite.
