My Scholarship entry - A 'place' I have visited

Syria | Monday, January 14, 2013 | 4 photos

My name is Chloe, 29 y.o., French. I studied photography right after high school but being still quite young I wasn’t ready to focus on a career path yet. I went on to live in Australia, then travelled through Africa for a while, back to France, then I lived in Spain, now I am back in Australia, and soon it might be Chile. My love for photography comes from the feeling that it helps me experience a lot of different lives. I also have a passion for languages, I speak three and I hope to learn many more. Obviously I have been taking photos all these years but I’ve never made a living out of it. But it wasn’t my priority at the time.

I now feel ready and mature enough to make a first real step into the industry. But I need knowledge of what is it like on the field. I want to observe the choices a photographer makes on the spot, watch him move around a subject, see what settings he has decided to use for this specific photo. I want to see what a one week assignment consists of. And I have many questions.

In the near future, I would like to undertake long term documentary projects that would require me to spend a certain amount of time in one place and on one subject.
