JOIN THE CLUB THAT’S CONNECTING TRAVELLERS + PHOTOGRAPHERS
A Creative Community, Built With Purpose
- A note from Lisa Michele Burns, founder:
As a travel photographer, I've experienced firsthand the transformative power of combining creativity, storytelling, and meaningful experiences.
In 2015, I founded The Wandering Lens to inspire others to see the world through a creative lens. Building on that foundation, I launched The Travel Photography Club in 2024, a global community designed to connect like-minded individuals who share a passion for exploration and photography.
That’s where you come in.
Let’s connect, explore and create together!

“There is so much in there - inspiration, creative challenges, resources, travel itineraries, industry tips, editing help and more. With the added bonus that it’s not on social media! I have been looking for a place like this where I can grow as a photographer with an awesome mentor, Lisa Michele Burns, and a super supportive and helpful international community. I’m loving it!”

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

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.
-
Anyone with an interest in travelling and photography! It’s all online (hopefully with some tours or in-person meetups too) 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.
-
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 6months to 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.
-
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.
-
The club is built using Squarespace and unfortunately, their membership pricing options don’t currently allow for upgrades and adjustments in membership tiers. However, until they update this (which is hopefully soon), the best way to upgrade to annual is to cancel the 6-month membership, join via the annual and then I can manually refund the difference. If you’re considering membership options and think you may love this club and eventually want to upgrade to annual, I’d recommend opting for the annual membership from the state to give yourself a full year of creative inspiration + community.
-
Due to the digital nature of everything inside the club, and the downloadable resources, it’s not possible to provide a refund. You can however opt to cancel your membership at any time, but I’d recommend doing so closer to the end of your chosen membership time frame to take full advantage of the monthly content + conversations.
-
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!
How to Join the Club
You can join with either of our flexible membership options:

I can’t wait to welcome you into the club!
