My Scholarship entry - untypical Istanbul

Turkey | Monday, November 24, 2014 | 5 photos

I am dreamer. I am a Pelgrim. I am a traveler with wild open eyes and burning heart.
Four years ago, I changed my profession, from manager of marketing to journalist, just because I understood that the aim of my life is to be a documentary journalist and travelling photographer, who writes about different cultures and tells true stories. Also through my pictures, I want to show a real life moments. In my personal opinion, photography is the most powerful art in 21th of century.
It can be a weapon or instrument to change history, worldwide opinion etc.
In my country (Kazakhstan) there is no any good photography schools, so this scholarships will be great opportunity to learn on practice about what is to be a professional photographer. I want to learn how to make pictures which inspiring audience. How photographer should work in different, sometimes dangerous moments.
If I won I will write in my personal web-site and put pictures to Instagram account: instagram.com/yurta_kz
I made it special for my trips. If look to this Instagram, you will see that it’s not simple account. Through small souvenir - yurta (it was traditional house for nomads) I show places where I have been.
