Travel Photographers Who Capture The Diversity Of America

When people think of insanely beautiful travel photography, they tend to think of big National Geographic photographers, capturing the glaciers of Iceland and the deserts of Namibia. But as the following photographers know, America has just as much diversity and stunning scenery worthy of capture. In true 2018 fashion, the way these photographers share their work is no longer just in gallery shows or coffee-table books, but in the biggest platform an artist can use today: Instagram.
