moments

My Scholarship entry - A 'place' I have visited

Indonesia | Saturday, November 24, 2012 | 5 photos

What describes me well as a person is this continuous curiosity for people and their stories. I think a good photograph should capture a unique moment that stands for more than just that. It should show the peculiarity of the place or circumstances influencing the objects, so that the viewer gains a lot of info about the context captured only within one photograph.In my opinion travel photography should be smartly conveying and visualising peculiarities, whatever they may be.

If I should get the chance to go on an assignment with a professional photographer, I would like to work on some skills of mine that I think could be improved like photographing in low light, fast focussing in situations with many moving objects, more creative camera angles and compositions. And I would like to find out how to better approach people without missing the right moment. There's a lot to learn and I would appreciate to get to learn much more.

What I know I would bring with me to Oman are two eyes on a constant alert with the sense for the right moment, that reveals more than just nice views, but depicts the beauty of the place in a way that makes photography meaningful and needed.
