Reflections On The Road To Mandalay https://journals.worldnomads.com/dwk/ Tue, 14 Apr 2026 10:18:25 GMT World Nomads Adventures I'd like to make a confession. When I started travelling many years ago, I didn't own a camera. I was solely interested in the thrill of experiencing the exotic and discovering the unknown. It was years later when I developed an appreciation for the immediacy and visual impact of photography. Fast-forward to today. I have a much more nuanced view of the world and a desire to capture authentic and compelling moments through my photography. My favourite images combine a strong narrative with aesthetic elements that reflect my personal style and perspective. My hope is to evoke emotion in viewers – whether that be appreciation, surprise, bemusement or revulsion. My passion for travel and photography has led me to consider combining both elements as a career. However, I still create my fair share of trash-worthy images. At times I struggle to convey the story and I'm sure I miss opportunities because I do not spot them in the first place. It is for these reasons that I'm keen to be mentored by Jason Edwards. I believe his expert guidance combined with field experience and my unflagging motivation to improve my skills will help me realise my dream career in travel photography. https://journals.worldnomads.com/dwk/photos/38990/Myanmar/My-Scholarship-entry-A-place-I-have-visited Travel Myanmar dwk https://journals.worldnomads.com/dwk/photos/38990/Myanmar/My-Scholarship-entry-A-place-I-have-visited#comments https://journals.worldnomads.com/dwk/photos/38990/Myanmar/My-Scholarship-entry-A-place-I-have-visited Mon, 14 Jan 2013 03:58:00 GMT 0
