Travel photographer Trey Ratcliff has millions of social media followers online, runs a famous travel photography blog called Stuck in Customs, designed a new camera bag that’s blowing up on Kickstarter, and is about to embark on a nationwide bus tour of the US. Ratcliff recently gave a TEDx talk in Queenstown, New Zealand, in which he shares about his life and career journey that brought him to where he is today.
Sometimes, you have to “stumble into your own greatness,” Ratcliff says. If you have 20 minutes to spare, carve out some time and watch this inspiring talk.
Started out doing photography at the age of 6 using an uncle's old 1940 kodak brownie box camera. At 15 years of age, I decided to buy my very own 1975 Praktica SLR camera. I now shoot with a Nikon D850. I do unpaid TFP and commercial paid work.
