Peru: The Children Of Fair Trade Coffee Farming Community

My Scholarship entry - A 'place' I have visited

Peru | Friday, July 5, 2013 | 5 photos

I am a competent all round photographer, but my best work, my favourite photographs of mine are from traveling. From photographing daily life in Palestine, to fair trade coffee farmers in South America, I am free to explore and take advantage of the interesting life of others. This is where me, as an observer, can really differentiate in the interesting parts of daily life, architecture and societal problems. It really allows me to take something from a place and give back my view point and own personality in return. Different cultures, way of life and habitats are what drives me to photograph better and in turn become more productive and self-reflective of my own work. This internship would be very advantageous to me as I believe I have an eye for showing a place or situation honestly and also to coerce the viewer of my photographs to think. I feel I posses the skills to become a great travel photographer, but also, in the current climate, experience with an established brand is almost necessary. My photographic confidence would also be lifted exponentially, where I would feel I can improve and be taken more seriously in my profession, which is my passion and my life.
