Chasing INCREDIBLE sunset over Gobi Desert😍

Shooting in the desert was one of the hardest things I've done as the conditions are extreme and unpredictable. Here are 5 tips for shooting in the desert: 1. Bring loose and flowy clothing (dresses, scarves, etc.) for more movements in your photos. 2. Shoot during sunset/sunrise, when the sun is not too strong. 3. Be prepared for the heat: bring sunscreen, sunglasses, at least 2 L of water, wear layers for when it gets cold (try to avoid black). 4. Play with perspective and use the textures and patterns of the sand to make your shots more interesting. Shooting silhouettes is also good! 5. Come prepared with the mindset that even after hours of filming you still may not get your desired shot. But, don't let that stop you! The difficulties of getting the perfect shot will push you out of your creative comfort zone, and when you see the final photos, you will see that the struggle was worth it after all! 📍Gobi Desert, Dunhuang, China Follow my Instagram @cherstravels for more travel tips and recommendations! #campingglamping #awesomepic #gobidesert #china #summervacation #celebratewithtrip
