Brazilian students change my perspective

My Scholarship entry - Just like Us.

Turkey | Friday, October 31, 2014 | 5 photos

As I have traveled I have noticed one thing that binds us as a people.That no matter where we are in the World, we all strive for one thing: happiness.
As the current climate towards Muslims is one of fear and misunderstanding in this series I want to show that Muslims are just like us. In Turkey people go about daily business just as people in the West do. They are essentially just like us. There is no need for fear and hatred just because people study a different religion and so I want to break down these common misconceptions with my work.

I have a passion for photography that is second to none other than my passion for travel. As a child I read National Geographic and it inspired me to become a photographer and travel the world. This would be the first step in achieving that dream. As I have traveled I have come to understand one concept, that we are all the same all over the world and I wish to bring this concept to the world with my images.
