My Scholarship entry - Insect life at the Bog

Photography is my passion. I'd be lost without my camera. I'm always looking for the next subject to photograph, the next piece of art to create. It's a form of escapism for me and I only wish I'd started to take it more seriously earlier in my life. I'm a self-taught photographer with a keen interest in wildlife and landscape photography, although I'll photograph just about anything under the sun if something catches my eye. To me, there is nothing better than setting off on a trip into the wild and getting away from the hustle and bustle of day-to-day life. I'd love to explore and capture more of the diversity of wildlife that this world has to offer and I consider this competition to be a once in a lifetime opportunity to continue my personal journey and development. I feel that I have reached a point in my photography where expert tuition can take me to the next level. My dream job would be to become a travel photographer and what better way to start than with such an exciting expedition with a National Geographic photographer!

Out of diversity I picked up my camera and used it to improve my life. I truly hope that you will consider picking me.
