My Scholarship entry - A 'place' I have visited

Chile | Friday, July 5, 2013 | 5 photos

It was travelling I realised my love for photography, and it is photography that helps me share the essence of the world with those who have not travelled.

When I visit a new place, my aim is to take photos which convey the beauty of it whilst sharing the emotion I feel as I see that photo. For me there is nothing greater than to inspire someone and take them on my journey with me through photography.

My goal is to stir the emotion I feel as I see the photo. If I can transfer the emotion of a single moment in travel through each photo I take, then I have achieved something in my photography.?

But...

I have so much to learn, so many things to be taught to take truly inspiring photos. It would be amazing to learn from a great photographer just how to make the places I see come to life for the viewer.

A picture which depicts a scene, a place, a moment as though the viewer was really there, this to me is a true photo.

After spending a year travelling and seeing so many inspiring places, I know that this is what I want to do. This is where my passion lies, where life comes alive.
