My Scholarship entry - Fox Hunting in Victoria

Australia | Sunday, November 16, 2014 | 5 photos

Hello, my name is Niklas. I'm 24 years old and grew up in Germany. Photography has been the tool to express myself since the age of eleven. If people asked me what i wanted to become when i grow up, I gave the same answer, "I want to become a National Geographic Photographer".
Even though i have loved photography, I pursued the wrong career path after i finished school.
I followed my families suggestion and started an apprenticeship as an electrician. "It is always good to have learned something proper, just in case this photography thing doesn't work out for you", was what i was given as advice.
I liked being an electrician but could never see myself working in this job for my whole life. I still wanted to become a NG Photographer. So i packed my stuff and moved to Australia. I wanted to work hard to make my dream, of becoming a professional photographer, come true. I love how photography gives me the unique ability to capture a moment in time, something that makes people think. Capture images that can change something in the world, thats what i want to do and thats what i now live for. Everybody wants to leave their mark in the world and I believe that through my photography, i can leave mine.
