My Scholarship entry - A 'place' I have visited

Greece | Friday, July 5, 2013 | 5 photos

Dear Sirs,

I was born and raised in Greece and after I completed my A levels, I successfully joined the University of Ioannina (north-west Greece), where I graduated in 2011 from the department of ''Fine Arts and Art Sciences''.
The April of the same year, I moved to London, as I believed that this city could offer me great opportunities of working and learning, first as human being and second as an artist.
From April to present, I do street photography.
From August 2012 to January 2013 I worked as a studio photographer- sales coordinator where I gained a significant knowledge in studio-digital photography.
From January 2013 to May 2013, I did street-documentary photography in Athens and Tirana.
The camera that I am using, is the analogue Canon A1, lences: 50mm, 28mm, 75-200mm, no flash, and usually I work with 400 b&w ilford or kodak professional films.
I do not believe that I deserve more than my competitors, but I strongly believe that I would appreciate more than anybody else in the world,this -once in life-opportunity to satisfy my hunger for knowledge which is going to bring me closer to wisdom.

Yours sincerelly,

Athena Barka
