My Scholarship entry - A 'place' I have visited

Jordan | Friday, July 5, 2013 | 5 photos

I see the role of the travel photographer is to engage, educate and entertain the audience. A travel photographer has the opportunity to do all these things and make a difference to people’s perception of the world.

To be able to travel abroad and capture the harmony between people of different cultures and beautiful landscapes, these are the things that I want to chase, photograph and share. I research my destinations before I take off, as much as possible.

There are two things that I experience when I travel. The first is that I see and appreciate things that encourage me to search out more adventures. The second is the appreciation for the little things when I encounter adverse poverty and living conditions. I hope that from these experiences I can bring exposure and support back to help these communities.

I want to inspire others to seek out there own adventures and push their own boundaries. I think as a photographer and a traveller I have much to learn and would wholeheartedly jump for the opportunity of the scholarship! I see it as an opportunity to further grow as a photographer, a traveller and a person given the opportunity to document such an amazing experience.
