A day in the life..

My Scholarship entry - A 'place' I have visited

Nepal | Monday, July 1, 2013 | 5 photos

Curiosity and creativity go hand in hand and this is why travel photography holds such excitement for me. I always find myself trying to imagine daily life in foreign countries but it is impossible to know a place without first seeing it with one's own eyes.
Last September, I left Canada to photograph the world and I have yet to return home. I owe many of my travel experiences to my desire to capture every moment. From being in a new environment I am able to see things through a new perspective each day and being out of my element motivates me to take on new creative challenges to obtain my desired shot.
Although I still have much to learn, I gained more knowledge from shooting every day on my travels than I could have in any educational institute. I couldn't imagine a greater way to further perfect my craft than to take on this year's scholarship. This trip will give me new insight into the world of a professional photographer, completing an assignment in the field. I know that photo journalism is something I want to master and develop into a profession. I want to visit the most remote, untouched places and show people something they don't already know about the world.
