| Award-Winning Travel Photographer Mark Edward Harris on Life Behind the Lens
Award-winning travel photographer Mark Edward Harris has been to an astounding 102 countries — including many that evade the average traveler and, as he puts it, places that are “seldom seen and even lesser understood.”
Many times, Harris is traveling for business, on assignment for publications such as Vanity Fair, LIFE, The New York Times, Newsweek, Time, National Geographic Traveler, Vogue and more — and he’s the recipient of many prestigious photography awards for his work. | | | |
| He’s also the author of several travel photography books, including “Inside Iran,” “North Korea,” “The Way of the Japanese Bath” and, most recently, a book about orangutans called “People of the Forest.”
In this episode of Humans of Travel, Harris dives into some of his most thrilling adventures, from his time in North Korea and his coverage of the Tokyo Olympics to his experience photographing orangutans for “People of the Forest.” He also reflects on the times when it’s been more appropriate to put down the camera, and how he gets his subjects to trust him. Plus, he offers some advice for succeeding as a travel photographer. | |
