Travel Photography

My Scholarship entry - A 'place' I have visited

Peru | Wednesday, January 2, 2013 | flickr photos

I have learned to always have my camera close by. I have chosen work situations that allow me to travel to new places and enjoy new experiences. Most recently, I have worked with Lindblad Expeditions on excursions to Southeast Alaska to the Galapagos. These have all been enriching experiences. In my photographs, I enjoy experimenting with different angles of the composition, challenging the rule of thirds by off centering my subject matter, all in an attempt to create and capture a uniquely different photograph. I have learned that much of photography is about waiting for that perfect shot to take place. I am a patient and thoughtful person and these traits serve me well in my photography. A lot of time goes into the photographic process from shooting to editing to publication. Fortunately for me, I enjoy all aspects of the process. I believe that I do have a gift inside of me. I would love to spend eight days in Oman alongside National Geographic Photographer Jason Edwards. To learn the nature of the photography business from start to finish from a professional photographer would be an opportunity of a lifetime.
