"To travel, to experience and learn; that is to live" Tenzing Norgay
Some wise words from the forgotten man of Everest. Photography is my passion; and it seems there is no shortage of passionate people here on Steemit. Passion is what makes a community work and I hope to meet a lot of you!
My portfolio of photography has been produced after undertaking twenty years of adventure travel photography across more than thirty countries. It is my hope that by sharing this I can inspire a few see the world for themselves, perhaps just to pick up their camera and go for a walk, or simply to be more understanding of the amazing world in which we live. As a traveller and adventurer I have been fascinated by the ability of photography to bring the unknown into the known and shed light on the more remote and fragile parts of the natural world. The emotive nature of photography has been critical in overcoming societal apathy and facilitated most of the major conservation efforts over the past century. Equally as important is its ability to highlight divergent cultures and philosophies and help foster tolerance in an otherwise intolerant world.
My work has been published by high quality publication houses including National Geographic and Lonely Planet and enjoys over 80,000 followers across social media platforms with tens of millions of photo views, and in excess of two million photo likes. Steemit seems like a revolutionary approach to content sharing platform in that it gives back to the creators, rather than simply leaching of them for commercial gain as seems the case with most of the other well-known social networks out there. I have linked a few pictures to this post so you can get a feel for my work; if you would like to see more you can head over to robertdowniephotography.com
Love to hear everyone’s tips as to how to succeed on Steemit !
