Jamie Luke https://journals.worldnomads.com/jamieluke/ Sun, 19 Apr 2026 01:45:48 GMT World Nomads Adventures I can't help it, wherever I go I'm constantly visualising the world as a series of pictures. I began image making as a way of documenting personal experience. Places discovered and communities encountered, could be shared through photography. Like many, I found photography's inherent ability to share powerful, and so it became my creative platform for storytelling. Taken from my recent adventure, the images I've uploaded are indicative of this. Twenty miles of the coast of mainland Shetland lays Foula. With a fascinating population of twenty-eight and not a single shop it remains one of the most remote permanently inhabited islands in the British Isles. Captivated by curiosity, I travelled to Foula to discover the island for myself. The resulting project stands as a photographic document of the landscape and inhabitants encountered. This opportunity is the chance to experience the ultimate contrast in landscape and culture. Jason as a mentor, coupled with his experience in the field, would be invaluable in nurturing my knowledge and progression as a young photographer. Funnily enough Foula's landscape featured not a single tree, the Peruvian Amazon would be an eye opener. https://journals.worldnomads.com/jamieluke/photos/52032/United-Kingdom/My-Scholarship-entry-Pictures-from-the-Edge-of-the-World Travel United Kingdom jamieluke https://journals.worldnomads.com/jamieluke/photos/52032/United-Kingdom/My-Scholarship-entry-Pictures-from-the-Edge-of-the-World#comments https://journals.worldnomads.com/jamieluke/photos/52032/United-Kingdom/My-Scholarship-entry-Pictures-from-the-Edge-of-the-World Sun, 23 Nov 2014 23:11:00 GMT 0 Home for me is the North Norfolk coast, England. This is where my entry photographs were created. 'A fisherman's life' is a project i shot last year, a documentation of a week spent with my Uncle the last working Fisherman from a small, once thriving fishing village. The majority of my own work is based around my personal experiences. My affection for photography was grown from being able to share these experiences. There's something raw and unbeatable in being able to show a image of the situation you were in. Growing up deep in the english countryside I have since my early teens, had a very keen eye for adventure. Moving to university near London was one of my more recent and since, I have grabbed every opportunity to travel, exploring mainland europe . Experiencing new culture's is key for me. This is why this competition appeals to me and so many others. I haven't yet been to a very remarkable different culture to our own. I was once given as a present a book, "The lost photographs of Captain Scott" I always return to this eager to experience the colder climate. I feel to develop as a person and as a photographer an experience like this would be remarkable invaluable.
