Grand Bargy

Sunset of Alpine Ibex in Grand Bargy (French Alps)

France | Sunday, November 23, 2014 | 5 photos

In times when people were asking me: "what are you gonna be when you grow up?" I was proudly announcing-"a photographer !". That was a quite shocking statement, as "a cosmonaut" was the number one choice at that time.

I still believe that being a photographer it is one of the biggest adventures on this earth.

Sometimes, when you see an image, you can feel the smells, moods and emotions which were present at the moment when it was taken.
Sometimes the picture of a pair of mountain shoes next to the tent can remind me all our bivouac in mountains better than the panoramic image of mountains around. These are the pictures I love to catch.

I think this scholarship would give me a real taste of photography and shooting process. A great mix of adventure (new places, emotions and experiences) and reality (hard work, technical and practical part). At the same time I would like to help as much as I can to get the best results in this photographic journey.

I am somebody very optimistic, hardworking and a real nature and mountain-addict, so I am used to heavy backpack and/or difficult wetter conditions.

I hope you appreciate my story.

Many thanks,
Irina
