Young, wild and traveling

My Scholarship entry - A 'place' I have visited

Japan | Saturday, December 22, 2012 | 5 photos

As a frequent traveller and avid photographer, I have always loved being behind the camera when visiting foreign countries. Having the opportunity to travel to Oman and working alongside Jason Edwards and National Geographic, would be an excellent chance for me to continue to develop my skills as a photographer engulfed in a foreign culture. I believe my patience and senses would greatly contribute to the Oman experience, as a photographer must use more than just their sense of sight to capture that perfect moment but most importantly to have patience while capturing it. I would like to further advance my skills in the use of photography and how to more efficiently capture shots that are powerful and effective in both a short amount of time and shots that may require a bit more endurance. I want to learn from the locals and take this knowledge through the use of photography to contribute back to the greater community so they too can see what I see and possibly experience what I have experienced. Not everyone has the means or time commitment to travel and it is with my passion that I hope I may bring the world to them by constructing their memory as if they were truly there.
