Aspiring Filmmaker

My Scholarship entry - Wildlife Selection

United Kingdom | Monday, November 17, 2014 | 5 photos

Hi, Im an aspiring wildlife photographer from the Uk, I'm currently a student at UCA, trying to develop my skills in Photography and Filmmaking. Ever since I was young I've had a passion for Nature and Wildlife; growing up by a forest I believe has been a big influence in this. I recently visited an exhibition in london called 'Wildlife photographer of the year' at the natural history museum; I was blown away by some of the images! some of the Photographers were as young as ten years old. I have always had an interest in the art of photography and film. Recently I have bought a DSLR camera to develop my technical skills, however I know the most important aspect of photography is the Philosophy, I spent hours flicking through 90's issues of National Geographic looking at some of the stunning imagery; the way the photographers are able to convey such powerful messages through a single photograph is truly inspiring. I'm very keen to learn and I believe this would be an amazing opportunity for me. My dream is to spend my life travelling and taking Photographs that will convey important messages and inspire others to change the way they think about the environment we live in.
