A chance to dream

My Scholarship entry - Walking dream

Australia | Wednesday, January 9, 2013 | 5 photos

Since childhood, I have had an appreciation for nature. On getting my first camera; my Fuji, my appreciation for nature and wildlife was given an outlet in the form of my camera. Getting my first Canon dslr, has made me more absorbed in capturing nature and wildlife. My passion for photography has intensified. I study zoology, and a love for wildlife and nature is shown in my work. My style of photography is based on simplicity, and I try to encompass not only what the scene is portraying, but also an emotional connection behind it. I am a self taught photographer, and each time I go to a new scene, or the zoo, which is my favourite place to photograph animals in captivity, is a learning experience, and I like to capture their behaviour and emotions. I believe I should be chosen, as I have much to learn, and to be able to travel and photograph my experiences would be a dream come true. Given a chance to work with National Geographic, and a world renowned photographer would be a highlight of my life, and I would relish this opportunity. This would be an incredible learning experience, to understand more what it takes to become a photographer. This opportunity I would give 100%.
