My Scholarship entry - A 'place' I have visited

I am a video and photography artist passionate about the diversity of human culture and its abundant beauty. I use my camera to record and share those moments in life that capture the allure of order in chaos. I am moved by human experience, history, struggle, joy and passion. I love living in the moment, mindful of my surroundings and my impact.

Last year i graduated from ANU School of Art with a Bachelor of Visual Arts majoring in Digital Media. In the second year or my degree i travelled to Africa to explore a different side of humanity. It was there where i discovered my love for documenting video and photography through engaging with local people, their culture, history and personal stories.

I believe i should be chose because i thrive in unfamiliar surroundings, new, and exciting places. Driven by a desire to learn and explore i use my camera as a tool to not only document but to give back to those who i have taken photos of.

I recently had an exhibition "Develop" which explored a community based organisation in the Eastern Province of Zambia through 20 photos and a 25 minute documentary. All money from sales from the exhibition went back to Tikondane.
