Venezuela | Sunday, January 13, 2013 | 5 photos

My name is Daniela Amodio, I'm a Venezuelan 30 years old girl from Caracas, Venezuela. I do work in a software based company as a programmer. However, as much as I work, I always find time to myself in order to get involved into an artistic mood of life. I like to see people in the street to find art in their faces and in their behaviours, trying to find a story behind them and capt their natural state, without any poses. I haven’t studied photography, but since I was a child, my father in which is a great illustrator (skill that I inherited from him) taught me how to manage the colors and light in a composition. So, I would like to learn more and more to become a proffesional, not only for exhibit my pictures, but to tell histories through them and to show how to find beauty in our daily moments. Art is always around us, we just have to pay attention. I heard about the Travel Photography Scholarship from a friend of mine, he and my fellows from work always say that I ended up in the wrong career, and that I should go around the world to take pictures. (That's a lovely idea!). Like I say: If I could stop time everytime I want to take a photograph, I would live in slow motion.
