My Scholarship entry - A 'place' I have visited

USA | Thursday, July 4, 2013 | 10 photos

From the time I can remember I wanted to be an actor. I was in every school play, I watched movies galore and loved the stage and screen. It was what I was going to be.

However that all changed when at the age of fifteen I was selected to to a gifted and talented program in high school. It was here that I picked up a camera and fell in love with photography. One look at my image coming through in the developing tray and I was hooked. I no longer wanted to be an actor. It was then that my love affair with photography began.

I used to gaze at National Geographic magazines and dream.. big dreams.

It is a love affair that has seen me working on Cruise Ships, using any spare time I had to take images, to working on tropical islands. Squishing myself in crowds trying to get shots of bands. And still that thrill remains of knowing when I have captured that perfect shot.

It has always been my dream to combine my love for travel with my love for photography. There is no greater rush for me knowing that I have a shot of an exotic place that not many people have had the chance to go to.
I am ready to learn from the best, so that I can take my love of photography to new heights.
