A 'place' I have visited

My Scholarship entry - A 'place' I have visited

If I can mention one thing that is really part of me, that built me, is Nature.
Since the basics as growing up in a countryside town enjoying life outdoors as a kid, until the extremes heading to an adventure such as hiking and camping in Patagonia for 7 days by myself, or other adventures that I’ve immersed myself.
This is what keeps me stable. Contact with Nature.
And if I can mention one thing that really got me, that I discovered and loved, is Images.
The feeling they cause me when I just stare at them! Images of an amazing huge landscape, a tiny little insect, a face, a moment... things that when framed by those with a different approach, gets those who are watching to feel like being there and being influenced by it.
How to produce images that evoke those feelings, images that have such power on viewers, is what I’m looking to learn.
Photography is a very powerful message, but to be efficient has to be communicated in the right way. That’s what I’m here for. I’m a 30 year old brazilian ready to take the next step into photography and it’s relation to the world. I found where I want to drive my life from now on and I’m ready to start this never ending change.
