See the world through my eyes...

My Scholarship entry - A glimpse into the daily life on the streets of Istanbul.

I am and have always been under the impression that travel broadens the mind. No matter who you are or where you go you always have pre conceived notions of what the place you're going to visit will be like. This is what I love about travelling, you never know what you're going to experience, you never know whats around the next corner.

Photography fits so well with travelling and allows me to pass my story and experiences onto other people who may not have the ability to travel. I want to show people the world as I see it and not the stereotypical postcard views. My aim is to try and capture the atmosphere, the story and the mood of a place.

I am by no means a professional photographer, but I have a passion that is second to none. I always strive on improving myself and firmly believe that photography and life is all about constantly learning. Having an opportunity like this to shadow a professional in a professional environment would truly be a dream come true. Not to mention what valuable lessons I could learn to help me achieve my ultimate goal.

The images I have taken were taken whilst walking the streets of Istanbul. It's an encapsulating city, with so much to offer.
