India's Golden Triangle

My Scholarship entry - A 'place' I have visited

India | Thursday, December 20, 2012 | 5 photos

I first got started getting into photography when I was 16 and I visited Russia on a school history trip. Even though I was only shooting on a disposable camera I was hooked. After my trip to Russia a camera was always taken when travelling to preserve the sights, sounds and smells that a photograph can often trigger in a memory.

I hope that I am chosen as I would love the opportunity to travel to Oman a country so rich in history and culture. Also the chance to work with a National Geographic photographer and learn from his experience and to see how he works whilst on assignment is a once in a lifetime opportunity and one that I would relish the chance to be picked for.

I have long been an admirer of photographers such as Don McCullin, Walker Evans, William Eggleston, Stephen Shore. I believe photography should make comment on society not necessarily on negative points such as war or famine but positive ones as well and showing how other society's live from day to day.
