My Scholarship entry - Beside the sea

United Kingdom | Saturday, November 8, 2014 | 5 photos

I have a great love for the outdoors, I constantly seek adventure and new challenges. Photography is something that I've always wanted to do, especially underwater. The Marine environment truly fascinates me; I have always had a love for the sea and the creatures living within. I am ambitious and enthusiastic about the conservation of our oceans and aspire to make a difference. Studying Marine Biology and scuba diving have lead me to develop a deep love for the underwater world and my dream is to capture these sights on camera.
At any opportunity I get I love to go out on wildlife adventures, I am currently working with marine mammals, creating a photo ID catalog of individual grey seals around the Welsh coast.
I am saving for my own camera kit, including underwater housing. I studied art alongside my scientific studies and loved every minute of it, I spent most of my days taking photos of the surf and wildlife around the coast. I would love to be chosen because it would give me the opportunity to pursue my dream. I am an amateur photographer but have always wanted to be more. I can't think of much more exciting than going to the Amazon with Jason Edwards, taking photos.
