The Importance of People in Your Travel Photos

 A picture by Irina Bukatik to highlight the city’s architecture

When we travel, we take photos of the sweeping landscapes, perfectly curated resorts or hotels, aerial flyovers, and well-preserved monuments. Travelers want to capture the essence of what they’re feeling and how a place looks.

However, there’s also something unique about capturing a closeup of the people in the area. According to Irina Bukatik, when you want to capture the essence of a place, you should show the people living their everyday lives. After all, they are the heart and soul of every location.

Street Photography

We’ve seen street photography and how it tells a story. It weaves together different moments between a place, the people, and their daily lives. It encapsulates everything that’s going on and is the best way to capture a specific moment in time. You can watch how people weave through the crowds, going along with their everyday lives. Every person has a different background, motive, and history. There are hundreds of stories left untold in a single picture, and viewers have the freedom to create their own to fill the space.

Shows Emotion

When you click a picture with people in it, you also capturing their facial expressions and body language. If they are showing emotion with their face or body, you’ve got it on film, and you can see that emotion as it was happening. Anyone who views the image also has the opportunity to interpret the emotion in any way that they want.

Does the subject have scrunched-up eyes and upturned lips? Perhaps they’re excited about being in the picture or forcing a smile even though they feel a little shy. Their feelings at that moment are eternalized forever, drawing people in and making them feel more connected.

Captures the culture

Pictures are worth a thousand words for a reason–what can capture a beautiful city or country’s culture better than a picture of its people? From their clothes and hairstyles to their preferred food, you can tell a lot about a specific location from a single image.

Whether the people of that area prefer in-vogue, trendy clothing that’s popular in your hometown, ethnic outfits with beautiful local designs, or a wonderful fusion between them both, it’s a great way of communicating everything a viewer would like to know about the area.
