One of the best things about traveling is the chance to capture the beautiful views and memories you encounter along the way. But not all of us are expert photographers, so we need a little bit of help—or inspiration, if you will—to achieve the travel diary of our dreams. In the Belo family, we have our very own budding model in the one and only Scarlet Snow Belo. At five years old, she already knows how to expertly pose in travel photos. Showing off her outfit? Check. Displaying the scenery? Check. Telling a story? Always.

1. Interact with your surroundings.

This goes without saying, but interacting with your surroundings is one fool-proof way of posing in travel photos. From the beautiful foliage scattered everywhere you go to the exotic wildlife roaming freely beside you, you will never have to worry about going home picture-less or with regrets if you keep this tip in mind. For example, during their trip to Kenya last December, Scarlet Snow had a fun time feeding the giraffes which were caught on cam. Doesn’t it make you also want to experience the same thing?

2. Add a bit of fun.

Why would you be all stiff and posed when you’re having the time of your life? Capture the happy memories in the simplest activities you get to enjoy while you travel. Scarlet Snow’s bright energy is always at the forefront of her travel photos, precisely because she’s just enjoying herself. Take a cue from her, and don’t be afraid to let loose in front of the camera.

3. With your loved ones.

If your family loves to travel just like the Belos, then you should definitely take as many travel photos with your parents (and siblings, if you have them!). It’s not just a throwback photo you can post when you want to relive your past trips. You can also use the photos for their birthdays, anniversaries, and other special occasions when you want to express your love for the most special people in your life.

4. The classic “walking” pose.

As a little fashionista, Scarlet Snow already knows how to show off her outfits when traveling. Maybe she got some tips from her Ates Camille Co and Lovi Poe? We think so! During their 2019 trip to Japan, Scarlet posted this photo to show off her walking boots with rainbow laces. If you also have a cool outfit you want to show off for your followers, you can never go wrong with this pose.

5. Take advantage of golden hour moments.

As always, you should always take the opportunity to snap a shot during golden hour. The beautiful lighting will guarantee that you will have several feed-worthy photos, even if you’re just sitting in one spot enjoying the view.

While we may not be able to travel that freely yet, it never hurts to do some research on everything you want to do for your next trip. Hopefully, these travel photo tips from Scarlet Snow will help give your feed a dose of freshness in the future.
