To shoot landscape &人文 photos with story and atmosphere while traveling:Shoot in golden hour or blue hour for mood lighting. Include human elements (people, traces, silhouettes) as the "protagonist" to tell a story. Use leading lines, frames, and foreground to guide the viewer’s eye and create depth. Embrace weather—mist, rain, or dramatic clouds add instant atmosphere. Slow down: observe daily life, wait for the decisive moment. Wide scenes set the stage; close-up details reveal emotion. Less postcard, more narrative.https://digital-photography-school.com/how-to-photograph-people-in-exotic-locations/ https://www.boredpanda.com/travel-photography-tips-storytelling/
