Globe-trotting travel photographer Danielle Lancaster shares tales of travelling the world for a living and gives some simple but effective tricks to improve your holiday snaps.

She’s travelled all over, always looking for ways to capture travel destinations in new and unique ways, and has won awards for her work.
