One of my greatest passions as a photo lover is travel photography. I say “as a photo lover” because I personally can’t take a travel photo to save my life—I simply suffer from a sever case of wanderlust and like to aggravate that suffering by browsing through beautiful photos from all over the world… a lot.

I also appreciate the variety that the genre of travel photography offers. Landscapes, portraits, street photography, architecture, all of it CAN be considered travel photography depending on the style, place, and intent behind each photo.

This is a travel photo, something that could end up in a tourism brochure:

But so is this, despite it not being tied to a specific location. It simply captures the wanderlust-filled spirit of travel:

And both of these photos were captured by the same photographer—the subject of this feature and one of my favorite 500px users to follow: Guerel Sahin.

Guerel captures images all around the world, often in some of the most beautiful and iconic spots in Europe like Venice, Florence, the Italian alps, Bavaria, London, and more. His account is a must-follow on 500px, especially if you suffer from wanderlust like I do.
