Colombia´s colors

My Photo scholarship 2011 entry

Worldwide | Friday, October 7, 2011 | 5 photos

My name is Catalina, I have 20 years old and I am studying audiovisual media, actually Im just starting. My idea of life is to be a film maker, to know every place and take it into my photography. Actually, I don´t really know about photography, just some basic concepts, and this is a big chance to make some of my biggest dreams come true. You can see through my photos, my big ambition to capture reality, specially when it is about social problems, unfortunately these problems are everywhere in my country, Colombia. I wanted to show the colors of colombia, the green of the nature, but the grey of poverty.
I know it´s obvious to tell that I want to became a photographer, but its not obvious to tell that my big goal is to get to the national geographic magazine ( my inspiration for studying what I am studying) and be abel to, by my pictures, captivate people and transmit emotions.
I chose these photos because I took them traveling, I have very beautiful stories behind them, that, I hope, can be read just by looking at the picture. Taking into account the expensive that a journey to Africa is, I just keep this territory as a big dream that maybe some day I will be abel to photograph, and thanks to you, I can start fighting for that today.
I really hope you like my pictures.
