My Scholarship entry - A 'place' I have visited

Philippines | Monday, January 14, 2013 | 5 photos

Not everyone goes through life knowing what he is on earth for. For this reason, I feel blessed to have discovered my passion through photography, a field I never imagined getting into.I lived my life training to be a lawyer.I’m now a corporate lawyer, in a demanding job that requires me to spend most of my time at the office, but my heart is in photography.

My love for photography started when I bought a Lomo LC-A.I started taking photography seriously when I got a DSLR.Since then, I’ve taken every possible opportunity to use my cameras, from travels to events.My experience in event photography has trained my eye to be keen on capturing moments and emotions.

Through photography,I aim to continue inspiring more people.If God wills me to be accepted in this scholarship,I plan to make the most out of my experience and embrace all the lessons I gather from it.I’m positive that whatever I take home from it would greatly change how I shoot.I plan to take unusual, thought-provoking images that would create a lasting effect and would lead viewers to appreciate life more.
