My Scholarship entry - A 'place' I have visited

India | Friday, January 11, 2013 | 5 photos

I am an IT student currently pursuing my undergraduate studies. Photography started off as a hobby to me and grew along with my lust for travel. i would photograph the things around me; my neighborhood, people and places that i visit. i am fascinated by little things around us, be it a small fern growing on an old worn off wall or random people at a busy market place. i try to find a different perception to what people see everyday. I believe that simply taking a picture doesn't capture the true essence of the subject and that people probably have seen the same shot too many times; this is what drives to find a different perception to things. I've had no photography training yet and I learn by reading and watching the works of other photographers.
This scholarship can be my chance to work and train with a professional photographer and gain all the skills and knowledge required to stand out in the crowd.
