My Scholarship entry - A 'place' I have visited

Italy | Saturday, July 6, 2013 | 4 photos

I always lived in different countries because I think that's the best way to understand a new culture and soak up the spirit of a place (as well as investigate your own).
Recently I took a life changing decision: I quit my job to pursue a dream. I started traveling as I'm always curious about discovering new things, seeing new places or meeting new people but if I spend few days without my camera I feel a little lost.

Photography can be used as a mean to meat people, bringing them together, learn about other cultures, it can give you inspiration, motivation, can make you feel happy or sad, give you the chance to travel also when you can't, share experiences and save memories.

This internship is a great opportunity to learn from a great mentor. I will be able to see the secrets of a professional photographer who works for a prestigious magazine and experience in first person how he documents great stories.
It will also help me to understand if this can become my career and, if this is the case, it would be the best possible kick start.
