Scenes of daily life in the rural villages of Maharashtra https://journals.worldnomads.com/clarafigueras/ Fri, 10 Apr 2026 19:49:46 GMT World Nomads Adventures Originally, photography was a merely intuitive process; yet after being exposed to India's cultural diversity for 3 years, working for my school's newspaper and darkroom and leading a Photography Club, composing images has become a very conscious action and an inherent part of my interaction with my surroundings. Greenland promises untouched nature and authentic cultural traditions; I could hence explore new subjects and methods of photography that would enrich my understanding of it. Receiving guidance and criticism from a professional perspective would be of great use to improve my skills and refine my approach; and the practical experience and insight I would gain could help me to effectively and aesthetically communicate the stories of both ex-members of violent gangs in Guatemala and indigenous people in the Amazon- my two main projects for the upcoming year. Ultimately, this could take my photography further, maximizing the positive social and environmental impact I aim to exercise. The value I see in this opportunity and my enthusiasm for this art would translate into exceptional commitment, as I would make efforts both to assist Jason Edwards and to develop my potential. https://journals.worldnomads.com/clarafigueras/photos/42960/India/My-Scholarship-entry-Rural-life-around-Mulshi-Valley Travel India clarafigueras https://journals.worldnomads.com/clarafigueras/photos/42960/India/My-Scholarship-entry-Rural-life-around-Mulshi-Valley#comments https://journals.worldnomads.com/clarafigueras/photos/42960/India/My-Scholarship-entry-Rural-life-around-Mulshi-Valley Thu, 4 Jul 2013 17:25:00 GMT 0
