A View From the Top

My Photo scholarship 2011 entry

Worldwide | Sunday, November 6, 2011 | 3 photos

My photographs express my experience of a trip through central Europe, focusing on the mountains and natural outdoors. The story represents my journey from the base of a selection of mountains and my way to the top. The photos capture natural elements and their beauty as seen through my eyes, while still focusing on the surrounding elements such as the sky, and ground on which i trekked.
I believe I am a suitable candidate for the National Geographic Scholarship due to my willingness to learn and eagerness to experience culture and wilderness with the guidance of a professional photographer. As a novice, I have much to learn about the art of photography and am very keen to exceed my person boundaries in order to excel in my professional career as a photographer. I am not afraid of being adventurous and getting up close and personal with nature and animals which plays in my favor when learning as a photographer. If given the opportunity I endeavour to learn as much as possible and put this into my practice.
