India Travel and Photography Guide

India Travel and Photography Guide image

Photo by Ken Lee/Art of Seeing Photography Adventures

India is a country rich with photographic subjects.

Home to some of the most breathtaking landscapes in the world, it is a country of varied terrain from tropical rainforests to the heights of the Karakoram. There is an abundance of wildlife, too, that make India a top destination for wildlife photographers.

But to think that your camera should only be trained on landscapes and wildlife is a mistake… 

In this India Travel and Photography Guide, we’ll explore three things to photograph in India that offer you every bit the opportunity to create a breathtaking shot that tells the unique story of India. 

What to Photograph in India: The Architecture

india photography guide 1 image

Whenever the words “India” and “architecture” are uttered together, one’s mind can’t help but think of the Taj Mahal .

Perhaps the greatest monument to love the world has ever seen, this striking white marble mausoleum was constructed in the mid-1600s after it was commissioned by Shah Jahan, a Mughal emperor. 

The purpose of the Taj Mahal was to serve as the final resting place of his favorite wife, Mumtaz Muhal.

Rising from the banks of the Yamuna River in the city of Agra, the Taj Mahal is the centerpiece of a much larger complex - 42 acres in all - that also houses a mosque, formal gardens, and reflecting pools. 

When visiting the Taj Mahal, the iconic shot of the building reflected in the pools is certainly worth making your way through the throngs of visitors. 

But it’s also well worth your time to explore other vantage points and to visit the grounds at different times of day as the changing light can completely change the look and feel of your images of this iconic building.

What to Photograph in India: Festival of Holi

india photography guide 3 image

Holi , an ancient celebration of the arrival of spring in India, should be on your photography bucket list.

To say that it’s a time of excitement is an understatement - festival-goers from all walks of life join together to play Holi by throwing, rubbing, and smearing handfuls of colored powder all over everything and everyone.

And Holi is not an optional activity - for Indians or tourists. No matter one’s lot in life, you must participate in the Festival.

Naturally, the abundance of vibrant colors is an ideal addition to your photos, particularly of portraits of the Festival’s participants.

india photography guide 4 image

And while Holi is celebrated throughout India each spring, in some locations, it takes on further meaning.

For example, in the Lathmar Holi , men from the town of Nandgaon visit the town of Barsana, where the women of Barsana greet the men by beating them back with sticks, called lathis.

This spectacle is a celebration of an ancient Hindu tale, in which Lord Krishna of Nandgaon visited the subject of his affections, Radha, in Barsana. However, Krishna began to tease Radha and her friends, who took offense to his actions and drove him out of their town. 

Regardless of where you participate in Holi, it is certainly a spectacle worth seeing and photographing! Just be sure you take precautions to cover your camera and lens, lest you’ll end up with lots of non-functioning gear.

What to Photograph in India: Daily Life

what to photograph in india 1 image

Whether in Delhi, Varanasi, Jodhpur, or a city or town in between, daily life in India affords you the opportunity to highlight the beautiful, vibrant, and friendly people of India.

In Delhi, the juxtaposition of new and old is plainly evident, with vestiges of ancient ruins and colonial rule still evident amongst modern-day luxury towers whose shadows linger above the streets where you can photograph the hubbub of commerce in one of the city’s many street markets.

In Varanasi, you can photograph young monks that begin their day on the banks of the Ganges by practicing yoga and meditating as the morning light burns off the mist hanging above the river.

In Jodhpur, the blue city, locals go about their day with the city’s once-vibrant, yet now fading blue walls to serve as the backdrop of your portraits.

And everywhere you go, you’ll likely have a following of children, some of whom may have never seen a foreigner.

It is a uniquely diverse and electric country, and one that is supremely open and friendly towards visitors as well.

Planning Your India Photography Trip

india photography tours 1 image

The difficulty with planning a photography trip to India is twofold. First, you have to know when the best time is to visit this magical place, and two, you have to figure out what should be on your list of must-see locations.

This might sound like an easy task, but with so many possibilities for subject matter in such a diverse and large nation, it can be almost overwhelming trying to decide what makes the cut and what doesn’t.

india photography tours 2 image

If you’ve never traveled to India, I highly suggest you do so as part of a photography tour. 

And by “tour,” I don’t mean a run-of-the-mill photography experience in which you spend five days racing from one corner of the country to another in a motorcoach with a few dozen other foreigners...

Instead, India is best explored with your camera by using a slow, methodical approach - two weeks in-country is ideal - that is truly an immersive adventure.

india photography tours 3 image

Photo by Ken Lee/Art of Seeing Photography Adventures  

For that, I recommend exploring India with Ken Lee as part of his Colors of India Photography Workshop and Tour .

You’ll have a chance to photograph each of the locations discussed above and then some, all without having to plan the itinerary, book lodging, or concern yourself with getting from point A to point B.

For me, the best part of Ken’s workshops is that you aren’t just a number to be herded in and out of a massive bus for photo opportunities that everyone else gets.

india photography tours 4 image

 Photo by Ken Lee/Art of Seeing Photography Adventures

Instead, you’re shepherd from the iconic spots like the Taj Mahal to off-the-beaten-path locations that few tourists get to see or photograph. 

In that regard, this workshop is as much about immersing yourself in the culture and traditions of India and learning about its history and people as it is about improving your photography skills. This is a hallmark trait of Ken’s Art of Seeing Photography Adventures - it’s a personal journey that puts you in touch with the real people and stories of the places you explore.

The tour takes place over two weeks - March 2-15, 2020 - so you can experience the chaos of Holi to the fullest extent as spring descends onto India.

This is an adventure you don’t want to miss! Get more details by clicking here .

Other Tips for Planning an India Photography Trip

  • Where to fly into : Delhi Airport is the busiest airport in India and offers the most international flights.
  • Best luggage : For a trip of this length, the Nomatic Check-In roller bag is the ideal choice.

With space for 78 liters of gear, this bag has plenty of room for a 5-day trip or longer.
  • Attractions & Things to Do : Humayan's Tomb is an architectural wonder from the 16th Century that's definitely worth seeing. For fun and games, hit up Escape Reality Delhi .

Testimonials

Paul somers.

Shivam and his team have an amazing knowledge of the cities of India and what a photographer is uniquely looking for. I not only use them for my Kolkata photo shoots, but I always recommend them to other photographers coming to India as well. They help you get the shot you want, help you navigate the language and culture, and what's more, they are super enjoyable guys to be around. Love the whole team.

I have been on a few tours with Shivam and his team in the last couple of years. Every time I go out shooting in a group with him, I'm struck by a mixture of ...his knowledge, vision, and perspective-taking photos, personable relaxed friendly nature, and effortless patience towards amateurs like me. Each time I leave challenged by what I've learned and delighted by the culture we and I have the privilege of connecting with through the lens.

George Vourlidis

Indaitravelphotography.com was recommended to me through a mutual photographer friend. I had two days to spend in India on my own, and I needed the assistance of someone who knows what is happening in the city. They are highly communicative and make it their personal goal to make sure you get what you need from the photo walk. During these two days, we wasted no time visiting bustling local markets, Mosques, and walking the busy streets of the city. Definitely, time well spent, highly recommended.

Great locations within the destinations, interesting subjects and places, the best photographic support and a positive day to day atmosphere. Years of investment in local research, looking for the most interesting places to visit, struggling to create the proper contacts, handpicking hotels.  We are all passionate about photography, and want our clients to share that.

From a South India photo tour to Kerala for the night Fire Theyyam and Elephant Festivals with a fascinating exploration on our own deluxe house boats at the Kerala Backwaters. Or the Lath Mar Holi is a very special and unique "advanced" Holi festival, that takes place in a series of villages in India.

With time to enjoy our stay in contrast to the hustle and bustle of Shamans, boatmen, pilgrims, cows, tourists, barbers, and fake Sadhus. We will cross to the other side of the river where no one normally goes, to admire the city from another perspective and witness the daily coming and going of pilgrims.

Or imagine walking into the camel fair for the first time and coming face to face with the teeming mass of people that have brought hordes of animals into the tiny city of Pushkar. You’ll walk lines of booths selling spices and textiles, camel and horse wear, food, endless drink as the desert bred cowboys race up and down the main thoroughfare just beside you showing off their horse mastery.

Wherever you go in India, it will be the photographic experience of a lifetime.

Our Clients, Our Ambassadors

None of our previous trips have been as thought provoking and fascinating for me.

The whole team was so professional and warm, and the process was so smooth.

I don’t have words to say how wonderful it’s been, start to finish- the guides, the hotels with fabulous upgrades.

This trip was to celebrate my husband’s 60th and he told me this is the best trip he has ever had (and we travel a lot).

We just want to thank you again for arranging another trip of a lifetime. We both really loved India. Travel Scope provided a level of service we have never experienced on any trip.

From portraits to travel snapshots, here are the best cameras for all types of photography

travel photography scope in india

What are the best cameras for all types of photography ? At a time when we live, eat and breathe Instagram , it’s natural to constantly capture moments around us; be it that golden Goan sunset from a much-needed weekend getaway or the gooey decadence of the most sinful chocolate pastry you ordered in on a night of indulgence. But sometimes, a smartphone camera just doesn’t cut it. Ask any photographer, nay even a photography enthusiast—and they’ll tell you that the charm of capturing something through a certain millimetre lens, tailor-made for the subject in hand​​—is hard to compete with.

Now most historians attribute the invention of the first photographic camera to a Frenchman, Joseph Nicéphore Niépce, in 1816. What emerged after was a fascinating evolution of the device—from pinhole cameras to polaroids, auto focus and digicams to DSLRs and now mirrorless. With the advent of social media sites and public forums came the possibility to share one’s favourite shots with the world and with it a subsequent rise in interest in all kinds of photography styles. Fast forward to today, when there’s a camera or a dozen for every kind of photography under the sun. And for post-sundown as well. Despite factors like price, durability, portability and compactness playing a deciding role, here’s our top picks for cameras vis a vis the photography style you wish to pursue.

(Disclaimer: As most professional photographers will tell you, the lens you use is as, if not more, important than the camera you pick for any type of photography. Our list here mentions only the camera sans the lens that would go best with it.)

Here are the best cameras for all types of photography

Portrait photography.

The Nikon Z7

While on the pricey side, the Nikon Z7 is a great option for those looking to shoot great portraits. The 45.7 MP image sensor can give you seriously sharp foregrounds and also scope for nicely blurred backgrounds. With its IAF, the most important part of the subject you are shooting will naturally be pen sharp, taking the pressure off, and giving you the leeway to focus instead on the composition of the shot.

This is a great option if you’re trying to capture portraits of subjects in motion, for instance, little kids on bikes, or your mum laughing. The device has great real-time eye detection tracking which allows you to take great portrait shots of people moving. With its 24.2 MP, 11fps and ISO 100-32000, it captures high-quality split-second action splendidly.

Wildlife Photography

Image may contain Electronics Camera and Digital Camera

The Sony a9 II

Sony a9 II’s autofocus and tracking abilities, especially when it comes to photographing birds in flight and wildlife in motion, is what makes this such a great option for those interested in wildlife photography. With its auto focus, it locks on to the bird or animal being photographed and tracks its motion without getting blurry or losing focus. The APSC (crop sensor) is also a great feature because by toggling to APSC and thus boosting up the apparent size of the subject, the autofocus usually locks on easier on moving subjects at a distance. With a silent electronic shutter (important for not scaring away wildlife!), 20 frames per second speed and no rolling blackout, the Sony a9 II is a recommended pick indeed.

The Nikon D500 can shoot up to 10 frames a second, with a buffer that can hold up to 200 images while shooting at 14-bit RAW lossless compressed mode. It also boasts of a 20.9-MP image sensor, matrix, spot, centre and highlight weighted metering systems, as well as an impressive shutter speed of 1/8000 per second. Its dynamic range, group area autofocus, 153 focus points and metering system which preserves highlights by underexposing a scene (which holds the possibility of being overexposed), make this a great buy for wildlife photographers.

Fashion Photography

Image may contain Electronics Camera and Digital Camera

The Panasonic Lumix DC-S5

The Panasonic Lumix DC-S5 is a favourite among fashion photographers. It has a 24MP full-frame CMOS sensor with in-body stabilisation and internal UHD 4K video capture. It also sports a weather-resistant build and supports two SD card slots. Its high-resolution mode allows motion-blue processing which helps you capture very sharp images, and in particular the colours and the details of the subject you’re photographing—much needed in the world of fashion photography.

Canon EOS 5D Mark IV

Mira Rajput and Shahid Kapoor have bought a new sea-facing apartment for Rs 59 crore in Mumbai. See images of the luxurious property

This full frame 30.4 CMOS sensor with dual pixel af makes this a great pick for those interested in fashion photography. This model boasts an improved dynamic range, resolution, af precision and af speed.

Travel Photography

For travel photographers who are constantly on the move, the need for compact, portable cameras which can shoot all kinds of subjects in all kinds of light, is imperative. This is where the Canon EOS R5 comes in. Not only does it boast of stellar detection autofocus which will lock in on a human or animal or car in 0.05 seconds, but it also offers focus across pretty much the whole viewfinder. For those who are into astrophotography, low light photography, or shooting with a neutral density filter, the R5 is able to focus in light levels that are as low as -6EV, for instance, you’ll be able to get clear imagery of a landscape even lit by a half-moon. Through its subject detection system (in Servo AF mode), you can also direct the camera to search for the subject in a specific area. It also has a touch-enabled flip-out screen for the user’s convenience and offers you the best of both worlds via its “Fv” or Flexible value mode, which allows you to keep the camera in full auto mode which then selects aperture, shutter speed, and ISO values for you, or you can even pick and choose to adjust any of these three.

The Fuji X100V

What if we told you that a fixed lens camera makes a perfect fit for a travel photographer? The Fuji X100 series has always been a fun and quirky choice, but the lightweight, minimalist X100V, the fifth iteration in this series of cameras, is a stand out. For starters, it features a brand new F2 lens that brings out sharper quality images than the much-loved XF23mmF2 lens. It also draws very little attention to itself, so it’s a great device to use to capture candid shots. The USP of this model for travel photographers is definitely the fact that it doesn’t call for an abundance of gear and you can set out for the day with just a light backpack and this camera in tow, without compromising on the quality of the photographs which emerge as sharp as ever.

Food Photography

This camera is usually high on the list for food photographers with a penchant for Instagram. We’ve all seen those drool-worthy food shots on the ‘gram and salivated right on our phones, and the Sony a7 III is to blame for at least some of those posts. It offers 693 detecting points in a broad region of up to 93 percent, and its Autofocus’s 4D focusing acquisition speed helps in improving the stark details of the food products being documented. Further, the BSI image sensor helps produce sharp and bright images without sacrificing on pixel quality. Its ISO sensitivity doesn’t leave any room for graininess.

Canon’s flagship interchangeable mirror lens camera is a popular choice among food photographers. It boasts of a 24 MP ASP-C format sensor, dual pixel autofocus system and HD video which gives the photographer plenty of flexibility to work with. It also takes great timelapse videos, an imperative feature when it comes to recording food shows or recipe makings.

The Travel Series: Top 10 Travel Photography Tips For Beginners

travel photography scope in india

Travel is always fun to explore the places but of course, I do think it gives an immense opportunity to expand our perspectives. If you are a photographer, it will be real feather in your cap to have progressive skills. The more you travel, the more experience you get that you can comprehend your thoughts, perspective and stories.

1. Do you travel light?

Travel photography by its very nature is inspirational and exciting – but it’s easy to get carried away when you prepare what to take with you. Whilst it would be fantastic to take all of your kit abroad practicalities such as baggage allowance and insurance costs could mean you are better of hiring equipment on arrival or opting for lesser items. Ideally if you choose to take your own kit you’ll need to travel light: one, a wad of memory cards, a lightweight mini tripod, portable storage unit, a pocket-size compact, a flash unit, a selection of lenses and a durable camera bag that distributes the weight evenly over your shoulders and protects against heat, cold, sand and moisture.

travel photography scope in india

Travel opens up a wide scope of genres for the avid photographer to explore, but picking which lenses to take will ultimately help or hinder you in the field. If you only have the room or budget to select one glass, opt for a fast zoom such as an 18-200mm or 28-300m etc. Sometimes you’ll find the focal point far off in the distance, but other times it could be right under your nose, as such a variable focal length lens that starts with a healthy wide angle and follows through to telephoto is ideal. If you have extra room or would prefer a wider choice consider: a portrait prime lens (e.g. 50mm or 85mm), a wide angle lens (e.g. 10-24mm) and a telephoto (e.g. 70-200mm).

Shooting in RAW and JPEG Fine will offer you greater flexibility on your return, but this will mean you’ll need to travel with a several high capacity memory cards. Get in to the habit of downloading your images to a laptop or photo storage device every night so you can free up your memory cards for the next day. When you go off shooting, take twice the amount of cards/capacity with you than you would expect to need.

travel photography scope in india

Each night, after a hard day’s slog with your camera, take the time to jot down a few notes in a journal about the day’s events. This will help when you come to add keywords and descriptions of the places, people and activities featured in your photos. Alternatively some cameras allow for small sound bites to be attributed to each image which is another way to reference your pics.

travel photography scope in india

If you find gaining inspiration of what to shoot difficult, start by taking a walk to the local tourist information centre and ask the staff their where they recommend you visit. Explain what style of photography you enjoy and ask whether there are any local guides or fellow photographers in the area who would be willing to show you some of the sights away from the tourist track. Take a look at postcard stands to decide what areas or resorts appeal to you and read through guide books or search online before your trip to get an idea of what you want to achieve. If you have the time prepare a ‘shot list’ to help focus your mind when you are on location.

One of the biggest stumbling blocks for any travel photographer is confidence. We’d all love to grab those beautiful environmental portraits – expressing the subject’s culture and character but many of us choose to fire of a telephoto shot from metres away for fear of rejection. But what’s the worst that could happen? They could say “No”. That’s no big deal! The chances are they will smile and nod their head in agreement and you are good to go. Take a deep breath, walk right up to the subject and ask if you can take their photo. Be polite. If they do say “No”, just smile, thank them and move on. If they agree smile, thank them and fire off a few shots. They may have been uncomfortable during these initial frames so show them the LCD monitor and use this opportunity to check the histogram. If you sense they are relaxed take the opportunity to grab a few more frames but sense when it is time to stop and move on. If there is a language barrier- simply smile and express with your face and hands.

Most places in the world are relatively safe and the people friendly, but there are a few pockets of the globe where this may not be the case, so always take care to be conscious of your safety and take some sensible precautionary steps to reap better confidence in unfamiliar surroundings. The first thing you should do after booking your trip is to take out adequate travel insurance for you and your gear and check the policy carefully to see what is covered – some adrenaline-orientated activities such as white water rafting or bungee jumping may be excluded for example. Invest in solid luggage locks and anti-theft bags are great for travelling photographers. Pocket a small amount of local currency in an easy-to-reach place and the rest of your cash elsewhere and keep a list of emergency numbers and phrases on your person.

In choice tourist destinations it can be tricky ‘thinking outside of the box’ when there are so many cliché or timeless views of recognisable landmarks and sight-seeing subjects. Perhaps limit yourself to ten ‘safe’ shots – focusing on composition and technique and then unleash your creativity and focus on originality. Shoot from the floor with a wide angle or fish eye lens, climb a tower and shoot from above, wait for dawn/dusk – mount your camera on a tripod and slow the shutter speed to capture the landmark in beautiful light whilst incorporate the ghostly movement of tourists strolling by.

travel photography scope in india

If you haven’t yet booked your travel arrangements, investigate the place a little further to find out when the country/city/town celebrates spiritual or religious events, traditions, national holidays and carnival style celebrations. Visiting during these times can offer a great magnitude of photographic opportunity, especially for portraiture and documentary style shots.

travel photography scope in india

Watch the portfolio of other photographers in order to get new ideas and get inspiration. Also, If you perceive yourself as an artist, you must acknowledge the work of other artists. Do not underestimate inspiration: visit art galleries, attend some photography lectures, listen to classical music, read good books.

Travel and Tourism Scope

Human beings’ lifelong affection for travel is a fire that will burn eternally. People, during their lifetime, save up money to visit their dream destinations on vacations. No matter the race, sex, location, travel and tourism is something everyone enjoys, and hence, making it the largest service sector in the world. Flights, ships, cars, trains, yoga, hospitals, hotels, etc, a vast majority of career sectors in the world is affected by travel and tourism directly or indirectly. As a result, the travel and tourism scope is something that is as vast as the oceans.

Travel and Tourism Scope

Travel and Tourism Industry

The term ‘travel and tourism’ is used to describe a group of industries and organization whose sole purpose is to help the travellers and tourists have their dream vacation. Individually, travel defines a movement from one point to another. Tourism, however, is used to define a journey to another place as well as accommodation for not more than 12 months. Since tourism and travel are branches of the same tree, we use the term ‘travel and tourism’ to describe the industry as a whole. Since India has been greatly developing in the sector of travel and tourism, the travel and tourism scope in India is quite broad. With modes of travel in the form of cruises, flights, cars, and even trains, as well as tourism industries in eco-tourism, medical tourism, wellness tourism, etc, there is a huge requirement for skilled professionals in this field. 

Opportunities in Travel and Tourism

With over 9 percent of the GDP coming from tourism, even the government has started initiatives to expand this industry. As a result, there are career opportunities in the public and private sector as well. A large percentage of the country has started showing interest in pursuing a career in this field thanks to the excellent travel and tourism scope and salary in India .

Travel and Tourism Opportunities

Doing a course in relevant field can set you up for a career in this field. Being one of the post-graduate degrees, the MBA in travel and tourism scope is greater than the graduate degree BBA in travel and tourism scope . However, for most cases, the travel and tourism course scope are pretty much even. Even though there are several domains in the industry, the following are the most common areas of opportunities - 

Travel Agency

A travel agency is simply an organization that acts as an intermediary or agent between the service supplier and the tourist. The suppliers can be airlines, hotels, tour providers, etc. It is the first point of contact for a traveller to plan a trip. Travel agencies focus on providing a hassle-free experience for their customers. Travel agencies provide customers with various packages and options to choose from. These packages, are usually created by a tour operator. Unlike tour operators, a travel agency has a wider range of destinations and provides the best deals and options. They mainly deal with - 

  • Inbound tourism - tourists coming into India from other countries.
  • Outbound tourism - people wanting to go out of the country to visit other countries.
  • Domestic tourism - tourists who want to visit other parts of the same country. 

The major services offered by travel agencies include flight ticketing, booking accommodation, itinerary planning, travel insurance, foreign exchange, as well as providing key travel information. Some of the positions in this organization include - 

  • Travel agent
  • Travel consultants
  • Travel insurance consultant
  • Sales and reservation agents
  • Visa executives
  • Marketing staff etc

Tour Operators

These are the organizations that combine the tour and travel to provide customers with various tour packages. Usually, tour operators sell directly to customers, or to other travel agencies. Since they are in direct contact with the product suppliers, they acquire the products and services from them, and then create their own unique package and sell it at a mark-up price. The types of tour operators include - 

Tour Operators

  • Inbound - deal with packages for tourists visiting the home country. 
  • Outbound - Providing packages for people visiting foreign countries.
  • Domestic - Packages for the tourists visiting other parts within the country.
  • Ground - Provides ground services such as accommodation, sightseeing, a guide to the tourists. 

The primary functions of a tour operator are to create packages. Along with this, they also provide ticketing and reservation, itinerary planning, and so on. Even though the functions are similar to a travel agency, they are both different. Travel agencies modify and sell the packages as per their customer’s requirement. Tour operators sell their own packages instead. Also, tour operators are only specialized for a specific number of destinations. 

Some of the job positions at a tour operator are as follows - 

  • Itinerary Planner
  • International travel consultant
  • Travel product designer
  • Tour manager
  • Sales and marketing staff etc 

Tourism Department

The tourism department, also known as the Ministry of Tourism is a government organisation that governs over the tourism industry in the country. From policies and regulations to planning, publicity and marketing, as well as ticketing, they look after the tourism-related interests of the country. There are state-level ministries, as well as national level ministry. Apart from the higher officials and minister, the other roles in the tourism department includes- 

  • Tour guides
  • Public relations manager 
  • Sales and marketing staff
  • Reservation and counter staff, etc

Accommodation

Accommodation is a vital difference between the concepts of travel, and that of tourism. Specifically belonging under the hospitality industry, it is still a part of travel and tourism. Accommodation includes establishments such as hotels, motels, hostels, etc, and a career in this deals with the everyday functioning of the place. These can include kitchen-related activities, sanitation, hotel management, human resources, etc. The subdomain of hotel management deals with guest satisfaction, finances, customer service, etc. The career options in this include- 

  • Kitchen staff
  • Customer service staff
  • Hotel manager
  • Lobby manager
  • Entertainment organisers, etc

Land Transportation

Even though a degree in travel and tourism is not mandatory for a job in this field, it is still one of the most important sectors. Land transports such as road and rail transportation are the cornerstone of the travel and tourism industry. Almost every tourist destination in the world is accessible by road or rails. As a result, it is one of the most common forms of travel. Even in India, there are several tourist trains such as the Palace on Wheels, Deccan Odyssey, as well as several coaches and buses for the sole purpose of tourism. Jobs in this domain can include working at car rentals, or as road transport manager, traffic manager, railway conductors, etc. 

Water Transportation

Cruises are the main mode of water transport for tourists. They are vessels that function as both a means of transportation, as well as entertainment. They usually contain onboard recreational facilities such as a spa, hotels, pools, casinos, etc. As it is the largest luxury tourism industry, the travel and tourism scope in this is just gonna keep increasing with the needs of the tourists.

Water Transport

Along with professionals for the functioning of the ships, cruises often need people in other aspects of the travel and tourism industry such as hotel and restaurant staff and managers, guest services, housekeeping, international operations, and so on. 

Flights and other forms of air travel include the aviation industry. Being the largest tourist sector in the world, there are numerous opportunities in the domain. Their functions range from booking the tickets to the passenger reaching his destination. The aviation sector handles all the operations and has both in-flight staff and ground staff. The in-flight staff such as pilots and air hostesses have a different career path. The ground staff are the people who take care of the workings of an airport. You can follow a career in this by studying courses in specific branches of the travel and tourism industry.  The profiles can include customer service, reservation and ticketing, cargo handling, terminal operations and management, ground staff, etc. 

Organizations that provide financial services such as banks require skilled personnel for their tourism-related activities. Foreign exchange and travel insurances are a major part of banks that make them a part of this industry. As an individual pursuing a career in travel and tourism, you can expect to be employed as - 

  • Travel insurance officer
  • Foreign exchange officer, etc

Entrepreneurship

Entrepreneurship is the latest trend among people today. With several innovative and novel ideas that have changed the world, we can see why it is such a massive domain. This even applies to the travel and tourism sector. A travel and tourism entrepreneurship simply refers to startups that are useful for tourists. Apart from this, you can even make a career out of blogging and freelance travel writing. 

Other Benefits of Travel and Tourism

The large travel and tourism scope and opportunities are just one of the best things about this industry. The other perks of choosing a career in this field include the following - 

Travel and Tourism Benefits

Fast-growing

The functioning of this industry is heavily influenced by technological and transport advancements. As a result, it keeps growing every day. With new innovations, new forms of tourism are created. For example, the recent form of space tourism didn’t exist a few years back. However, with companies such as spacex, virgin galactic, this will soon become a major tourism sector. 

Travelling, although not in every type of job, is still a relevant perk of working in the sector. This includes free travel as a part of the job, discounted travel, as well as opportunities in any part of the world. You may also be stationed at famous tourist destinations around the world. This also opens you up to the chance to enjoy different cultures, meet new people as well.  

The perks in this industry include the excellent pay scale, as well as other forms of remuneration such as commissions. bonuses, discounted packages, etc. Each of the domains has different perks according to the organization policy. 

Exciting Work

Unlike other regular jobs, the work in the travel and tourism industry is often fun and exciting. The creative nature of the job requires you to interact with people quite often. As a result, it is never monotonous or boring. Along with this, there are jobs in this field that are not 9-5, and the individual can choose their working hours. 

Portable Skills

The skills you develop through a career in this industry are often transferable. Meaning, you can use these in any aspect of your career, be it in the same industry, or not. Some of these include soft skills, problem-solving skills, communication skills, etc. Apart from this, you will acquire in-depth knowledge of the domains that can help you. 

Ethical Benefits

The whole purpose of this industry is to serve the customers. As a result, by working in this, you will be the reason a person gets his dream vacation. Working in this industry, regardless of the sector or position, gives you a sense of pride and satisfaction in being able to help someone. 

With almost every country starting off plans to develop their travel and tourism sector, the scope of this industry is only going to keep on rising. One of the main reasons for this is the large revenue from this. Couple this with the human’s all time need for leisure, it is safe to say that the future of this industry is as bright as the sun.

You should start right from Class 12 for a bright career in Photography. Passing Class 12 is the minimum qualification for getting admission to photography courses. It does not matter whether you are from Commerce Stream , Arts Stream , or Science Stream in Class 12. You can go for photography courses irrespective of your stream. If you have a knowledge of computer skills it will be an added advantage to understand the technical part of photography education. Further, there are entrance exams conducted every year for students who wish to seek admission in a Diploma or Degree course for Photography.

All institutes and colleges have separate admission processes. Some conduct entrance exams, whereas some conduct admissions based on assignments. However, all the institutes and colleges that offer Photography courses offer limited seats only. And so, it is quite difficult to get through. For assignments, based on the course applied for, candidates will be given assignments to be submitted with the application form. Based on the performance of the candidates on the given assignment, the admissions will be finalized.

However, there are few entrance exams that candidates may prepare for to seek admissions for photography courses. These are:

In India, most of the colleges offer diploma and certificate courses in photography. On the other hand, only a few colleges offer Bachelor’s degree courses in Fine Arts and Photography . Photography courses are designed in such a way that they inculcate the knowledge of photographs, lighting, angle, technical knowledge, understanding of fine arts, and ways to handle the camera.

Various institutes in India also offer traditional photography courses, while some institutes impart photography as a secondary subject.

The photography courses are available in different domains such as digital photography, basic photography, photojournalism, motion picture photography, professional photography, and fashion photography. The duration of certificate courses ranges from three to six months, while the duration of diploma courses will be one or two years. All the Bachelor's degree courses offered in the field of photography are of three-year duration.

To become a good photographer, one must have both creative and technical knowledge. A photographer must keep himself updated with the improvements in technology. The following are some of the key skills required to become a successful photographer: -

  • Visual skills
  • Originality
  • An Artistic bend of mind
  • Independent

Some of the popular photographers in India who are role models to budding photographers are: -

  • Iqbal Ahmed
  • Bandi Rajan Babu
  • Kulwant Roy
  • Raghubir Singh Khatu

Photography is regarded as a glamorous job. A modern-day photographer can work in many professions. Different careers in photography are elaborated on below.

Apart from the above, many photographers are also self-employed. They start their own photo studio and provide basic services like passport photographs, personal photographs, coverage of events, etc.

Photography is a non-formal professional field that enables one to work with flexibility. You can have your own rules, creativity, and vision. Photographers often travel to places like forests, valleys, waterfalls, and mountain ranges to catch the scenic beauty of nature . On the other hand, some photographers depict the existing situations in society through their photographs.

A photographer plays a premier role in creating a good composition of any subject such as scenery, a child’s smile, the beauty of the human body, a piece of machinery, etc. The skill of a photographer lies in his vision rather than the camera lens . A person can be regarded as a great photographer when a single picture taken by he/ she becomes much more eloquent than a thousand words.

We hope that the above-mentioned information is useful. We wish you a bright career in photography. If you are interested in taking admission to any one of the photography colleges in India, then you can fill out the Common Application Form available on our website. All the Best!

The next phase of Temasek’s sustainability journey: Measuring and disclosing Scope 3 emissions

Janice Lim

  • Given the complexity of collecting data on Scope 3 emissions, Temasek could, for a start, just focus on portfolio companies whose Scope 3 are a material source of its emissions., rather than Scope 1 or 2. PHOTO: BT FILE

IN ITS inaugural sustainability report released on Tuesday (Jul 9), Temasek disclosed that the portfolio value of its sustainability-aligned investments stood at S$44 billion at the end of its 2024 financial year ending in March. This is the first time the Singapore state investor has revealed the size of these investments, reflecting greater transparency in its sustainability disclosures.

This S$44 billion value was obtained based on a sustainability classification framework developed by Temasek and applied across its investment portfolio. The framework is used to split the investments into two buckets. The first covers businesses that have products and services that could contribute positively to climate, nature and inclusive growth – this is valued at S$38 billion – and the second refers to high-emitting sectors transitioning to a low-carbon business model, which stands at S$6 billion.

With such disclosures, Temasek’s stakeholders have gained another metric to compare and track the investor’s efforts in decarbonising its portfolio, beyond that of its total portfolio emissions.

Temasek also believes that the fundamental responsibility of companies is to make a positive contribution to society and cannot be decoupled from their aim to deliver profits for themselves or their shareholders and to achieve long term sustainable returns in the pursuit of multi-stakeholder capitalism.
