Harrison's wildlife photography

My Scholarship entry - Faces of the Wild: Melbourne Zoo, Australia

Australia | Saturday, October 25, 2014 | 6 photos

As a university student with the end of my communications degree looming, I am looking to discover what is ahead for the next stage of my life. Doing electives in photography over the last year has seriously heightened my passion and love for photography. Particularly, wildlife photography has captured my interest more than any other. A long time Nat Geo subscriber, I have always admired the men and women who take such outstanding photographs. Their ability to tell a story with still frames as well as their resounding bravery are qualities that few people in the world have. Working alongside Jason Edwards would be a dream come true. The photos I have uploaded came from an early morning visit to the Melbourne Zoo in Australia. Particularly, I am proud of the way the photos capture the mood of the animals in their surrounding environment. I was astounded I was able to see raw emotion in the faces of the animals so clearly. If I was chosen for this scholarship, I would not take the opportunity lightly. Nothing in this world would mean more to me than developing (pun intended) my skills at the hands of a world renowned photographer, in one of the most beautiful places on earth.
