Travel Photography Scholarship 2013

My Scholarship entry - A 'place' I have visited

Australia | Friday, July 5, 2013 | 5 photos

My name is Jose Gudino. I'm 33 years old and I'm married to a beautiful woman. We have a wonderful baby boy and we are expecting our second child. I was born in Costa Rica, a tiny but scenic country in Central America, and have liven in the UK and now in Australia.
I studied Business Administration and worked at various companies. I had many chances to keep advancing in my career, but never really felt passionate about it.
I would love to write that photography has always been a passion of mine. That I developed film with my dad in our dark room and that I've always known photography is what I wanted to do with my life. But my journey was different. I bought my first camera, because I love to be outdoors, to seek adventure. My life didn’t change when I first grabbed a camera. In fact it took time to start feeling confident with the camera in my hands. But once that happened I felt that passion that I yearned for and I knew that taking photos is what I wanted to.
I now feel confident with the camera. If I can work with Jason I hope to improve my composition and technique in the field.
I hope my work can raise awareness on the impact of humans on the landscape and nature.
