My Photo scholarship 2012 entry - Amanda Summons https://journals.worldnomads.com/amandasummons/ Sat, 11 Apr 2026 04:36:03 GMT World Nomads Adventures I love trying to capture that perfect shot in camera, and not back at the desk at home. I'm Melbourne-based, but I grew up across 4 continents and relish any chance to hop on a plane to discover some where new. I have never studied photography formally, instead learning as I go by trial and error - absorbing advice from all different sources. In the past 12 months, I've decided that I would like to pursue photography as more than a weekend hobby and this opportunity would be an amazing breakthrough for me. I adore taking portraits, focusing on the eyes. I have yet to visit Oman or its neighbours and it would be the trip of a lifetime, not just for the photography but also from a cultural perspective. I have just returned from a trip to Japan (even though my photos are from Melbourne) and my highlight was meeting the gracious Japanese and experiencing a very small taste bite of their culture - made me hungry for more! So I'm Amanda Summons, an almost grown-up girl who loves taking her camera around everywhere, whether it is to the other side of the world or just in her own backyard. I would love the opportunity to start allowing my photography to take me places now :) https://journals.worldnomads.com/amandasummons/photos/37897/Australia/My-Scholarship-entry-A-place-I-have-visited Travel Australia amandasummons https://journals.worldnomads.com/amandasummons/photos/37897/Australia/My-Scholarship-entry-A-place-I-have-visited#comments https://journals.worldnomads.com/amandasummons/photos/37897/Australia/My-Scholarship-entry-A-place-I-have-visited Sun, 13 Jan 2013 17:46:00 GMT 0
