Photo Trekking is a very well paginated and simple to read book on commercial travel photography. I found it exceptionally informational on both advanced practices (pre and post production, branding, selling) and simple tips to look out for including composition, movement, focus, etc. The photography is stylistically unique and different than most classical travel books you will find. It's a great read for the new age of personal vision and style and I highly recommend picking it up.

There are some helpful tips in this book. I like that it includes the camera/lens settings for each shot (as I believe all such books should) and things like equipment checklist and travel tips. The book is well laid-out, organized and visually stimulating, with plenty of nice compositions and well edited images. It's the kind of book you could throw in your carry-on and take with you on your next vacation, then use as a guide to capture some great images, not the regular vacation snapshots we are used to seeing. Also some good tips on how to take photos and stay safe in unfamiliar and potentially dangerous locations. Definitely would recommend this book.

Been a fan of Nick's for a while, after discovering his blog. Nick's travels and photography skills shine here, while covering the challenges of not just the modern day working photographer, but a travel photographer as well. As someone who's been around the world a bit, the tips in this book are valuable and his advice to those wanted to work in the industry or just be a better photographer while on the road are invaluable.

I had this book on my wish list for a while. Thankfully, Santa got it for me this year! I'll have this book on the coffee table for a while.

I was very impressed with this book. I heard about it from another photographer and thought I'd check it out and I'm glad that I did. It's a great read. I might be reading through it again pretty soon. It's a great guide to travel photography, lots of great tips and information.

I haven't gotten to all the written portion of this book yet because I'm so enamored with the emotion behind the images that I keep going over and over them. From what I've read so far though, Nick's book gives me just what I was looking for; the storytelling strategies of photography. I stumbled upon Nick's website a while back and he's been a "muse" for my own photography for a while, so I was thrilled when this book came out. I'll continue to read Photo Trekking for my own travel photography tips.

PHOTO TREKKING comes from a professional photographer who offers keys to the new generation of travel photos. From breaking into the travel photo industry to shooting great, unique photos on location, this pairs full-color, often full-page shots of scenes and people with the author's tips on what makes the photo outstanding. Photographers who travel and intend on documenting their experiences - especially for income - must have this!

I agree, there are some helpful tips in the book. The pictures on the other side (most of them in my opinion)are more like snapshots. I don't really like his compositions and use of light. He demonstrates at least that with proper contacts and advertisements you can sell everything.
