My Scholarship entry - A 'place' I have visited

After completing my Photography degree in 2010, I worked as a freelance assistant gaining hands-on experience with varied photographers throughout London. I then went on to work at a charity for a year on the production side of things, gaining a whole new experience entirely. After my years contract was up, I decided to take five months off and go travelling by myself taking my camera with me.

In september I visited India for six weeks and now I´m currently in Ecuador. I have been travelling in South America for two months now, also visiting Peru and Bolivia. My journey so far has been incredible. I have experienced so many wonderful, colourful cultures and places, I can already feel myself growing into a better, more rounded person.

I wish to explore as much of the world as possible, learning from others with an entirely different culture to myself. Living as the locals do in a new place is the best way, in my opinion, to grasp how people live. Capturing these intimate moments is one of the most rewarding aspects of photography and I would cherish the oppurnity to do so in Oman.
