How Travel Photography Keeps Our Adventure Spirits High In A Lockdown

2020 was not a great year for travel. Cursed by a global pandemic, summer holidays, new destinations and international explorations were well and truly off the cards. With travel restrictions in place for the last 12 months our appetite for new experiences, places and people has grown immensely. The adventurer in us all has suffered greatly, leaving many down in the dumps and craving the joys of travel. A shining light in all this doom and gloom, and our knights in shining armour, are the travel photographers sharing their works with the world.

You’ll Miss it When It’s Gone – How Lockdown Shows the Need for Photography

The art of photography has both benefitted and suffered since everyone has their own camera in their back pocket. Yes, more people are taking photos than ever but the artistry and skill is largely, put politely, rather lacking. Lockdown has seen us suffer in many ways, ways we would almost certainly never have expected. The simplest things such as the hustle and bustle of your local high street and the oddness, quirkiness and joy of everyday life has been stifled and we find ourselves now missing what we foolishly took for granted. Not so photographer David Hicks, whose skill in capturing transient, fleeting moments of humans and their impact on the world around them shows not just the artistry of the medium but also its importance to our psyche and morale. There’s a particular gallery which caught our attention, entitled ‘Waiting for Something to Happen’ (perhaps in retrospect it should be ‘if only we knew something was going to happen’).
