Outback Spectacular

My Photo scholarship 2011 entry

Worldwide | Thursday, November 3, 2011 | 5 photos

My name is Tiana Games. I am 25 yrs old and live on a quarter horse stud just outside Toowoomba QLD. I grew up on a 30000 acre property in a small town called Mungallala in SW QLD and spent some time working in the beautiful Kimberlys in WA.
From a Young kid I have grown a passion for beautiful scenery and of course animals. I love photography because it gives you a chance to show others the true beauty that nature has to offer. I have learnt that a beautiful photo is captured not created. My desire as a future photographer is to express that what we have right in front of our eyes is truely an amazing thing - Life. I would love the oppurtunity to photograph along side Jason in South Africa for 2 reasons. Firstly for the chance to learn how to capture amazing photos that convey a story to the veiwers Secondly my Husband grew up in Zimbabwe and I would love to see and photograph the beautiful country that has given me the most precious thing of all - my partner in life.

I chose to photograph on our property because it is unique in the way it tells the story of my everyday life. I beleive these photos not only to show how peaceful and beautiful it is out here but also how the character and emotion within each individual animal that is part of our family makes my life fuller everyday.

I believe I should be chosen to be mentored by Jason in South Africa because I am very willing and eager to learn and keen to get a foot in the door of travel and wildlife photography.
