My Scholarship entry - The Islands of the Pacific, a story where people and nature meet.

USA | Saturday, June 29, 2013 | 5 photos

Live in a small town in the Karoo surrounded by nature. A family of six and some close friends keep me happy. I'm a somewhat quite guy, only say what needs saying but don't mistake that for weakness, I can do anything if I put my mind to it.
Chose a nature photography career in primary school. Wasn't until after school that I truly pursued it. A volunteer missions trip to Uganda opened my mind to the world travel. After more studies and formalities I joined Cruise ships for a year the travel was good and places amazing but portraiture work and rushed trips to shore left me unsatisfied. This brings us to now.
So why should you mentor me? Because that's exactly what I'm looking for. I want to assist and learn from the best so that I can reach my full potential. I want to put time and effort into my pictures. I have no desire to be stuck in a rut scrambling for underpaying jobs on uninspired shoots. I want to make photography my lifestyle and share the things I see, emotions I feel. Who knows what the future holds but I want it to be filled with interesting people, places and photography.
That's really all I can say, pick me I'll give it my all.
