Welcome to The Travel Photography Club!
I’m Lisa and wanted to share a quick note before you continue browsing. The Travel Photography Club has been a long time coming and I’m beyond excited to bring this concept to life, blending the travel insights + itineraries of The Wandering Lens with the creative resources of the courses.
I’ve met many of you virtually, and I’ve travelled with others on tours, and I know there are many more talented people out there, maybe you, who I can’t wait to meet within the club soon.
The doors are now open for members. There’s a lot of creative goodies and content waiting inside the club, but I’ll be sharing more every month. I like to think of the club as a little corner of the internet for those of us who always like to have a trip planned, who never want to miss a sunset, have a list of dream locations to visit, and who simply love exploring the world with their camera. I know you'll be surprised by what's waiting for you inside the club and can’t wait to connect with you soon if you decide to join.
I’m just an email away if you have any questions - hello@thewanderinglens.com

“The Travel Photography Club has exceeded my expectations by far! It offers incredible value for money. The resources available for members are beautifully designed, super helpful and very varied on top of the exchange within the international community of like-minded photographers.”

“Joining The Travel Photography Club and the Freelance Travel Photography course has been one of the most positive decisions I’ve made for my photography journey and has reignited my creative spark. I’ve always loved exploring the world through my camera, but this community has brought a new level of inspiration and growth to my work. Photography and travelling to capture the world’s beauty and stories are my lifelong passions. It’s incredible to be surrounded by a community of like-minded photographers who understand the magic of travel and the art of photography. The workshops, challenges, and feedback sessions have sharpened my creative perspectives, help me explore a more defined story telling framework and style and given me valuable industry insights and skills.”
— Vanessa, Australia
“The Wandering Lens has, perhaps for the first time brought together travel photographers who are keen to develop their craft and business skills, and exchange ideas on locations and subject matter. As a past category winner in the Travel Photographer of the Year competition, I am very pleased to see this initiative starting up and in joining, to learn some new skills myself.”
— Peter, United Kingdom

Frequently Asked Questions -
These are some questions you may want the answers to, but if your question isn’t here, feel free to reach out via email to hello@thewanderinglens.com and I’ll happily chat.
There’s a little peek inside below.
-
Anyone with an interest in travelling and photography! It’s all online (hopefully with some tours or in-person meetups in 2025) so you’re welcome to join from anywhere. The club is a space for connecting with like-minded photographers, getting motivated via creative resources and challenges, and accessing exclusive itineraries and goodies for members. There are no time pressures, commitments, or requirements to join.
-
Absolutely! The club is separate from the courses, anyone can join whether you’ve been in the community for five years or five minutes. By joining, you’ll receive a members-only discount if you wish to access the course in the future.
-
As an introvert and someone who prefers to hide in the bathroom during networking events, I get it, and it’s completely okay if you’d like to join the club and watch from the sidelines! It’s your club to use however you wish, the resources alone are worth the annual membership fee, with a library of itineraries, creative challenges, and resources growing each month. You can participate in the chat or challenges as much, or as little as you wish.
-
Lots of exclusive creative resources, itineraries, location lists (that you can contribute to), a monthly mini magazine called ‘The Edit, which will feature a new edition on the first day of each new month, a creative challenge, career prompt (if you’re keen to make money from your images) + editing insight. There’s also a community space with a forum, image review possibilities, collaboration opportunities, and members-only discounts.
Plus…access to photography friends around the world 😊

It’s both for your benefit and mine. The benefit of being in the club for a year means you have access to everything as it’s released. You may love the topic and challenges in July, but not January…so having access to the entire year means there’ll be something relevant to your photographic style, skills or focus. Every month new resources and content is added, so the longer you’re in the club, the longer you’ll have access to resources that can improve your photography or inspire your travels.
The benefit to me is that I’m currently (hopefully this will change as the club grows), managing the club, the online courses and my own full-time photography career solo, so creating an annual membership rather than a monthly one, means less paperwork and admin each month. I’ve kept the price low with this in mind, as I know these days we all have lots of subscriptions (Netflix, Adobe, Website platforms etc.), and I wanted this club to be a fun creative outlet without the pressure to pay $30+ per month. Breaking down the annual membership fee means the cost of joining the club is roughly $12AUD, or $7.40US per month and I know that the moment you log in and see the resources, you’ll see the value far exceeds the annual fee – it’s less than the price of an airport coffee each month.
-
While I’d be a little sad to see you go, I understand this may be a possibility for whatever reason and you can do this at any time, and your access to the club will remain in place until the end of the billing cycle. There’s no pressure to stay, but all the reason to enjoy the full year and wait for each month's drop of resources and creative challenges, also just to note, as the club grows, so will the opportunities and I’ve got big plans for this little club!
