This meeting launched the 鈥楥offee with a photographer鈥� format, which will see more of National Geographic Traveller (UK)鈥檚 photographers invited to share their professional insights in the future. Coming up is an exclusive interview with  an award-winning outdoor and documentary photographer based in the UK. 

Of the experience, Ben said: 鈥淲ith travel photographers based all around the world, the chance to meet one in person is few and far between. On a recent trip to Italy, I was lucky enough to catch up with one of our regular photographers, Francesco Lastrucci. Between slices of pizza and sips of coffee, we got into his process and perspective.鈥�&苍产蝉辫;

Read the full interview with Francesco Lastrucci below: 

BR: How did you get into travel photography?   

FL: As a documentary photographer, I see travel photography as a natural extension of my work. Beyond my endless wanderlust, I鈥檓 drawn to travel photography because it allows me to engage with and develop themes that are central to my documentary practice. These include the relationship between people and their environment, conservation and sustainable ways of living, as well as the complexity of culture and daily life. 

BR: Which destination shoot stands out as your favourite?   

FL:听It鈥檚听one of the hardest questions to ask a photographer who falls in love with every place they visit and capture! Still, it鈥檚 usually places听I鈥檝e听formed a strong bond with, including the colourful magical realism of Colombia鈥檚 Atlantic coast, the lush and mystical landscapes of South India and the enigmatic heart of inner Sardinia鈥檚听karst plateaus.听听

BR: What is your dream location to capture?   

FL: My dream location is one that invites you to dig deeper: a layered place that isn鈥檛 immediately obvious, but reveals its beauty catching you by surprise as you come to understand it. Some places on my wish list include China鈥檚 Sichuan region for the mix of landscapes, modern life and ancient heritage, as well as the dense forests between the Mexican state of Campeche and Guatemala鈥檚 Pet茅n department with all their biodiversity.

Since joining the programme in June, the five interns have been working with leading publishers, travel brands and PR agencies, gaining practical experience across editorial, journalism, marketing and communications.  

Read what the interns have been up to so far: 

Ay艧e Avan is interning first at Food and Travel  

In her first week, Ay艧e worked across the editorial, production and social teams at Food and Travel. She鈥檚 settled in well and has loved listening to everyone explain their different roles, helping her gain a wider understanding of how closely the teams collaborate on the publishing process. Three weeks in, she鈥檚 been supporting the production and editorial teams, as well as learning more about the research, copywriting and editing processes, while she writes a feature for the magazine. 

Ay艧e said: 鈥�My first few weeks here have been so fun! Everyone is so friendly and talented at their roles, and I鈥檝e loved getting to see the behind the scenes of publishing the next issue. I really feel like I鈥檓 contributing to the day-to-day here and the support from the team allows me to always be improving my editorial and administrative skills.鈥�&苍产蝉辫;

Dharshinee Krishna Naidu is interning first at FINN Partners 

Dharshinee has dived straight into the world of travel media, supporting a range of clients at FINN Partners including Visit Malta, Korean Air, AmaWaterways and CV Villas. She鈥檚 been interested to see how PR and the world of travel writing intersect with each other and has learnt about the finer details of a successful pitch. She鈥檚 even got involved with media gifting, which has given great insight into how working in PR can change day to day and highlighted the essential skill of being adaptable. 

顿丑补谤蝉丑颈苍别别&苍产蝉辫;蝉补颈诲:&苍产蝉辫;鈥�The weeks have flown by! For the last week I refined my skills in writing pitches and I even landed coverage in The Sun. It was great to see what makes a successful pitch and, of course, I had to save the clipping! A highlight of my time at FINN Partners was attending the summer party, where there was glitter, music and dancing 鈥� what a fun event!鈥�&苍产蝉辫;

Kavarna Spence is interning first at TTG Media 

In her first week, Kavarna was working with TTG鈥檚 senior editor, Katherine Masters, on an article involving a Jet2Holiday familiarisation (fam) trip alongside an article on the fan zones across the US and Canada for the FIFA World Cup 2026. The key takeaway she took from this was understanding the audience within travel trade and how it differs from consumer-focused journalism. In her third week, she attended a Grifco PR event where she got the opportunity to improve her networking skills and talk to PRs. She also spent time working with TTG鈥檚 luxury writer, Emma Dooney, learning all about luxury news writing, specifically how a professional writing style differs from her writing in university. 

Kavarna said: 鈥�In the first five days, I feel like I gained so much valuable knowledge of the wider industry and how to communicate specifically within travel trade. Working with the partner content team was really fun, too, as I got to write about overlooked locations in Europe, small group adventures and a new platform targeted towards travel agents.鈥�&苍产蝉辫;

Nasreen Gordon is interning first at Intrepid Travel  

Nasreen鈥檚 first week was mainly focused on getting to know the team, understanding how PR works at Intrepid and learning about the different roles within the department. She assisted with copywriting for media requests and had 1-2-1s with each member of the PR team, finding out about their different roles and how their work overlaps. 

Her second week focused on building media relations skills. She assisted the UK PR manager (consumer), Emme Mckay, discovering more about the consumer side of PR at Intrepid. She learnt how to build media lists, find people of influence who would be a good fit for future campaigns and created a PR calendar for upcoming events in the travel industry. 

Nasreen said: 鈥�I鈥檝e really enjoyed my first couple of weeks at Intrepid. I鈥檝e learnt how the consumer side of PR works in the business and how its relationship to Time Out magazine and Stylist are important for its discoverability, reputation and digital engagement.鈥� 

Rutalee Buch starts interning at 芒果77福利 on 6 July. Her updates will be shared in the coming weeks. 

The interns will shortly begin the second half of the programme as they move to their next placement, where they鈥檒l continue to build on the experience gained so far and further develop their skills across a different area of the travel media landscape. 

Stay tuned for more updates from this year鈥檚 interns as they make their first steps in the travel media industry.

Karlina Valeiko, digital content editor, National Geographic Traveller (UK): 

鈥淥n a January trip to Finland for an online article, I had the opportunity to partake in myriad Arctic adventures but the most memorable was a short hike above the Polar Circle. The thermostat fell to -43C that day and defrosting my lashes afterwards was definitely a challenge.鈥�&苍产蝉辫;

Lorna Parkes, executive editor, National Geographic Traveller (UK): 

鈥淎t the beginning of the year, I travelled to the lesser-known cloud forest of San Gerardo de Dota in search of the magnificent quetzal bird, whose iridescent feathers were once prized as highly as gold by the Aztecs and Mayans. While Costa Rica usually tempts wildlife-lovers with sloths, it was the incredible birdlife that I came to love most.鈥�&苍产蝉辫;

鈥淏ack in February, I visited Brussels to find the city鈥檚 best Belgian waffles for National Geographic Traveller (UK)鈥檚 On the Menu series. I took the assignment seriously: I ate 11 in two days 鈥� sweet and savoury, seated and on the go. It was fully worth the sugar rush.鈥�&苍产蝉辫;

Charlotte Wigram-Evans, lead editor, The Collection by National Geographic Traveller (UK): 

鈥淚t was the first time I got to experience the green season in Zimbabwe, and I was amazed by how the parched landscapes I鈥檇 imagined had given way to emerald grasslands and overflowing waterholes. The highlight was following a pride of lions as they slunk through the grass, lightning flashing across the horizon. It was perhaps the most extraordinary wildlife encounter I鈥檝e ever had.鈥�&苍产蝉辫;

Aisha Nazar, associate picture editor, National Geographic Traveller (UK) 

鈥淎ccompanying my colleague Sam Kemp, I spent a week capturing Uzbekistan well beyond the usual tourist trail. We hiked from village to village, crossed rivers, walked through fertile valleys, and spent our evenings in family-run homestays. Every day felt more beautiful than the last!鈥�&苍产蝉辫;

Anna Evdokimou, acting editor, Living360 

鈥淚n April, I roamed the hills of Cotignac 鈥� a small village in southeastern France 鈥� for Living360. I embarked on a two-hour hike to reach its famous sanctuary, Our Lady of Graces, which people trek thousands of miles to visit each year, and came across two famous apparition sites along the way.鈥�&苍产蝉辫;

鈥淚 had the pleasure of heading to the Sardinian capital of Cagliari on assignment for National Geographic Traveller (UK). The city鈥檚 Castello neighbourhood tells the story of Phoenician, Roman and Pisan past lives, while the Villanova district is home to artisans and independent galleries. Add five miles of beach as well as standout seafood and you have the makings of a perfect weekend break.鈥�&苍产蝉辫;

Hannah Wild, assistant project editor, National Geographic Traveller (UK) 

鈥淚 explored Tunisia鈥檚 Cap Bon Peninsula for an upcoming issue of National Geographic Traveller (UK). I wandered through the stone tunnels of Carthage and picked up the art of haggling from my guide Mehdi in Hammamet. At Douar Laroussi farm, I joined my hosts in making tabouna bread and more, learning the hard way how Tunisians like their harissa 鈥� very hot!鈥�&苍产蝉辫;
