or


Criteria.

Here's a quick How-To.

  • 1. Even the most amazing photo set becomes more interesting with diversity. Mix it up a bit and try to show me your entire photo range.
  • 2. Editing is fine, but you gotta know your limits. It's almost like plastic surgery: one tiny Botox shot can ruin your entire face.
  • 3. Let's Travel Somewhere is about travel, adventure, exploring, action, impressions and inspiration. Minimalism is wonderful, but let's keep it to a minimum.
  • 4. Be creative. We've seen millions of photos from the Eiffel Tower, so let yours stand out. Show us a different angle or lightning effect for example.
  • 5. Only horizontal photos (16:9 format) can be published. I know this means, I miss out on lots of fantastic portrait shots but you can't have everything.
  • 6. Once you'll be featured, you must be able to provide the selected photo material in high resolution (which means 2000 px width at the lowest).
  • 7. What I don't accept (sorry): HDR, studio photography, Instagram & iPhone photos, Snapshots.
  • 8. Last but not least: The copyright of all photos on Let's Travel Somewhere stays with the photographer. Read the imprint page for some more detailed information.
