Morocco<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s all about colour in Morocco, from the towers of spices in ancient souks and the red-clay bricks of desert towns to the rich blue of a Bedouin headscarf. The medina in Fes is a riot of colour, of strange things being sold in markets, of painted tiles on sand-coloured walls. And you can\u2019t fail to get a good shot in Essaouira, where scenes from Game of Thrones were shot.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Iran<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sunset in Esfahan, as the arches on Siosepol Bridge begin to glow orange, an endless stretch of light reflected in the water below. Just try to take a bad photo. And then there are the mosques, places like the Iman Mosque in Esfahan, or the pink-tinged Nasir al-Mulk mosque in Shiraz. Oh and there\u2019s Naqsh-e Jahan Square in Esfahan, which is equally spectacular.    <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chile<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chile is all about natural beauty, from the glaciers and mountains of Patagonia in the south to the high-plain desert of the Atacama in the far north. In between you\u2019ve got the Lakes District around Pucon, and volcanoes and Andean mountains strung throughout. For photographers of the natural world, this is a great place to be. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Myanmar<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most of the photos I\u2019ve ended up framing seem to be from Myanmar \u2013 some from Inle Lake, where fishermen row boats with a bizarre leg technique; some from Bagan, where temples and pagodas stretch out to the horizon; even some from Mandalay, where the Irrawaddy River oozes slowly by a bustling city. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Russia<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Photos of Russia are so instantly recognisable, whether they\u2019re shots of people in furry hats, or the colourful onion domes of local churches, or austere statues, or gold-spired churches in St Petersburg, or rows of babushka dolls in markets. This huge country provides ample opportunity for interesting, beautiful pics, particularly once the snow starts falling. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

China<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Like Russia, the sheer size of China means there are bound to be at least some photographic opportunities. And, of course, there is. Like natural beauty? Try the rapeseed fields of Luoping in early spring. Like strange sights? Head to Wangfujing Snack Street at night. Like portraiture? Travel out to the countryside and check out all of the amazing faces you\u2019ll find. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

India<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Like Morocco, India is all about colour. It\u2019s rich sunsets on the backwaters of Kerala. It\u2019s bright saris on the streets of Rajasthan. It\u2019s blue cities, and pink cities, and orange cities. It\u2019s the Holi festival; it\u2019s Diwali. India can be beautiful and it can be ugly, and each extreme provides plenty of opportunity for budding snappers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Peru<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can\u2019t possibly hike the mountains around Cusco and not get some spectacular photos. The Machu Picchu shots are pretty clich\u00e9d, but still beautiful. The mountain scenery is incredible. Outside of Cusco, there are macaws to be snapped in the Amazon, volcanoes around Arequipa, and all of the bustle and colour of the big city in Lima. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Canada<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I took one of my favourite photos in Wells Gray Provincial Park, of a rich blue sky reflected perfectly in one of the huge freshwater lakes. Canada is packed with photographic opportunities like that, from the Icefields Parkway in Alberta to the Cabot Trail in Nova Scotia, from the polar bears in northern Manitoba to the waterways of the Yukon. Fans of natural beauty can\u2019t go wrong. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Switzerland<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Switzerland is ridiculous. It\u2019s a postcard \u2013 or an endless series of postcards. It\u2019s fairytale towns set among soaring snow-capped mountains. It\u2019s spired churches, black-and-white cows, shimmering lakes and green grass. It\u2019s all so neat, and clean, and perfect, and beautiful, that all you need to do is point a camera just about anywhere\u2026 and click. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
