My Scholarship entry - A 'place' I have visited

Nepal | Monday, January 14, 2013 | 5 photos

My name is Hannah. I live in Australia and have finished my first year of Business at university. I am a photographer who loves to travel. I have travelled Australia, New Zealand and Nepal which has inspired a sense of excitement and adventure.
Photography is my passion. My Great, Great Grandfather was named the ‘Father of Photography’ in Queensland. My mother is also a photographer. I have grown up seeing the world through a different lens. It gives me a unique perspective to see images in a way that many do not.
If I can tell a story through a photograph, it is a success. I have a mindset that each photo will be better than the last. I am a lifelong learner & am not content with just a good shot. I aim to capture emotion in order to create emotion. I believe that one image has the power to change the course of history. I also have a heart for the oppressed. I aim to use photography to bring their situations to light.
If I could combine my passion for travel, strong sense of social justice and photography together, it would be a dynamic combination. To be a professional photo journalist is my dream. The Scholarship would allow me to pursue what I have only been able to dream of.
