Korshub's take

Photography as a way of life on the road

Sean Dalton, a working travel photographer, walks through what it actually looks like to shoot for a living while moving between countries — not just camera settings, but the mindset and process behind building a body of work on the road.

What to expect

A working photographer's real process, not just theory
Skillshare's typical project-based format, so you likely finish with something to show
A focus on travel as both subject and lifestyle

Who it's for

Hobbyist photographers dreaming of turning travel into a career, and anyone who wants a photographer's-eye reason to pack a camera on their next trip. No level is specified, so newer photographers should pair it with basic camera fundamentals elsewhere.

If traveling and getting paid to shoot it sounds like the dream, this is a direct look at someone doing exactly that.
