FAQs
Below you’ll find some of my most frequently asked questions. To stay up to date on new posts, giveaways, and exclusive deals, be sure to sign up for my newsletter below. Happy exploring!
What camera gear do you shoot with?
I currently shoot with Sony cameras, although I’ve shot with both Nikon and Canon in the past. My camera body is Sony a7Riii and my go-to lenses are Sony 24-70mm f/2.8, 16-35mm f/2.8, and 70-200mm f/2.8. I also have a DJI Mini 3 Pro. See more gear recommendations here.
How do you edit your photographs?
I edit my photographs with Adobe Lightroom primarily and for more advanced edits I use Adobe Photoshop. I edit images on my desktop, but if you prefer editing on your phone, I recommend Lightroom Mobile, Snapseed, or VSCO. Want to edit like me? Buy my presets here.
How do you afford to travel?
I currently work as a content creator, freelance travel photographer, & blogger, so my job involves a lot of traveling and working for brands, hotels, & tourism boards. Most of the trips you see me on are for work and are not vacations.
You might have also noticed a little disclaimer in certain blog posts about affiliate links, which means I get a small commission if you click the link and make a purchase – at no extra cost to you! I only share things I geninuely love and think my audience would love too! This is one of the ways I’m able to keep making these free resources and guides for you. Thank you so much for your continued support!
For the trips that are not sponsored or primarily work related, I fund my own travels by saving as much money as I can, booking off-season travel, traveling as cheaply as possible, leveraging brand work, and utilizing other strategies. I will be writing blog posts on this topic soon, so stay posted by signing up for my newsletter here or below.
Do you travel solo?
Most of the times, yes. But I also travel with friends, my partner, and family when my schedule allows for it! If you want to learn more about how you can solo travel too, check out the post I wrote here on tips for your first solo trip!
Who takes your photographs?
I take my own self portraits by using a tripod and either the camera’s timer or by using a remote control. I start by setting up the shot beforehand, getting the focus right, and then I go pose or move around in front of the camera. I then return to the camera and check the settings, pose, and focus, and adjust as neccessary. Check out this guide I wrote here for more tips on taking self-portraits!
Do you sell presets?
Yes I do! Grab a set here.
Do you sell prints?
Yes I do! Purchase a print from me here.
Do you offer coaching calls?
Yes I do! Sign up for my newsletter here or below to be notified of when I open up my calendar for coaching calls.

I have a question I don't see answered here.
Use the contact form above to get in contact with me or email me at becca@roamfreerebecca.com with your question and I’ll be happy to answer.
I'm a beginner, what camera should I buy?
While I shoot with Sony currently, I have shot with Nikon and Canon cameras and I’m a firm believer in the best camera you have is the one with you. There are pros and cons to choosing one camera brand over another, but honestly you can’t go wrong with any of the main camera manufacturers. See more gear recommendations here!
If you’re moving from your phone to an entry-level camera, I recommend any of Sony a6000 series, the Nikon 5000 series, or the Canon EOS Rebel series.
Can you help me improve my photography?
ABSOLUTELY. To get started, check out all the photography blogs I’ve written here for tips. For immediate, highly detailed, & actionable tips, check out the ebook I wrote, The Ultimate Guide to Travel Photography.

Making money while traveling and in the travel industry is a challenge and involves having a variety of income streams. I make money doing content creation for brands, having sponsored social media and/or blog posts, via affiliate links, hosting workshops, leading group tours, and with products in my online shop.
