Welcome to The Travel Photography Club, a membership for travellers + photographers.

The Travel Photography Club is home to hundreds of members spanning 20+ countries, from beginners to professionals, all brought together by a love of creative photography and travel. Here, you’ll find more than just tips or inspiration, you’ll find a supportive space to share your journey, connect with like-minded people, and grow your skills, no matter where you’re starting from.

- A note from Lisa Michele Burns, founder:

“In just a few months since opening the club’s doors, our community has grown quickly, which must mean only one thing: we’re onto something good. As creatives, it’s clear we’ve all been searching for a place to connect with others, share ideas, and explore together. Every day, I’m inspired by the conversations, adventures, and creative work being shared by members from all corners of the world.”

That’s where you come in.

Let’s connect, explore and create together!

What is The Travel Photography Club?

Created by Lisa Michele Burns of The Wandering Lens, The Travel Photography Club is a global community for photographers who love to explore. It’s a dedicated space where travel lovers come together to share inspiration, access exclusive resources, and take part in creative challenges – all designed to spark your passion for photography, whether you're just starting out or pursuing photography professionally.

Your annual membership provides access to the following:

  • The members-only area filled with a library of downloadable creative resources, eBooks and travel itineraries for photographers

  • Access to ‘The Edit’ with monthly editions released on the first day of each month featuring creative challenges, career prompts and editing insights (plus the occasional competition)

  • Creative + career advice for travel photographers (beginners + professionals are welcome, there are resources for all levels)

  • A members-only discount on all courses + resources offered by The Wandering Lens, plus VIP invites to all future tours and photo walks.

  • The chance to have your images reviewed with constructive feedback

  • and the best part…a private chat forum where we can discuss and talk all things travel, photography, gear, editing, industry news and more.

Join for a year and use the membership to improve your photography + get travel tips with access to new resources every month!

The chance to learn, exchange ideas, and connect with like-minded creatives is invaluable. Photography can sometimes feel isolating, but this club creates a sense of connection and community.” Leah, 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, UK

Start your journey today – Access inspiration, resources + a supportive community worldwide. The club is for you if you’re keen to see the world, and capture it creatively…or maybe you’re already doing just that, in which case, we’d love to see your photos and chat about your adventures!

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!
