From 50mm Away https://journals.worldnomads.com/diosa/ Tue, 21 Apr 2026 06:42:53 GMT World Nomads Adventures Dubai. Cardiff. Ningbo. I've lived all over. Mathematician. Teacher. Photographer. A glance at my CV will reveal a natural ability for a number of things and perhaps a hint of indecisiveness but it will also show you the one constant in my life: photography. I can't remember why I started. I think my dad got a free camera with a VCR he bought one day but all I know is I've never stopped. After an A level art result in the world's top ten, I spent a year studying an art foundation diploma. I specialised in photography but decided I needed time to develop myself. Three years studying maths allowed me to dabble in professional photography and act as a committee member for the university photography society but it wasn't until I started my China-based blog last year that I found a way to merge my love of art with travelling and watch them piggy-back each other to the point of published work. I know that I'm ready to turn the constant into a career. I'll get my hands dirty. I've been knee-deep in a typhoon and face-planted the floor chasing a frog for a photo and the opportunity to learn from a world-renowned photographer would be the first step into a career I know I belong in. https://journals.worldnomads.com/diosa/photos/52125/China/Shanghai-Twenty-Four-Million-and-Me Travel China diosa https://journals.worldnomads.com/diosa/photos/52125/China/Shanghai-Twenty-Four-Million-and-Me#comments https://journals.worldnomads.com/diosa/photos/52125/China/Shanghai-Twenty-Four-Million-and-Me Mon, 24 Nov 2014 12:23:03 GMT 0
