The Aftermath - Sri Lanka

Diwali - Festival Of Lights

Currently I work as a documentary producer for the World Bank, creating training films for Road Safety Engineers in India. The chance to travel with my work has afforded me the opportunity to be in some amazing places over the last year and my camera has never been far from my side. Whilst my photographic skills are still very much in their infancy, my ambition to capture what I see in the world around me is boundless, and therefore I am seeking this opportunity to make the first big leap in connecting my ambition with my skills. Up until now I have learnt all I know through trial and error. So for me, the opportunity to spend 12 days working alongside a man who has more photographic knowledge in his little finger than I do in my entire body would mean a huge leap for me. And as someone who learns best by being challenged, the challenges (both geographically and photographically) of this adventure will no doubt test and stretch me as a person and as a photographer. I am also drawn to this location as I have never had the chance to shoot in a jungle. So far my experiences have all been urban. Once again the challenge is set, and I am more than ready to accept it.

Documentary Scholarship 2011 entry

The subject matter was inspired by a call from a friend living in Sri Lanka. After the Tsunami he called and said "you have to see this for yourself, if only you were here with your camera". And so 48 hours later I was, travelling the country and meeting locals, all of whom wanted to share their stories.
At present I am working as a freelance director/cinematographer on corporate films in Indonesia.
No matter the job I love the power of the camera to be a conduit between myself and the world, opening up doors to stories that every single person has inside them. I dream of a future as a documentary filmmaker, my camera and I and the world sitting before me, its stories waiting to be told. This scholarship would be the first step towards this dram for me.
