2013 Travel Scholarship

My Scholarship entry - A 'place' I have visited

Australia | Thursday, July 4, 2013 | 5 photos

My name is Jeorgi, I'm 24 years old & I was born & raised in beautiful NZ. I come from a super artistic family - there are always art supplies & half finished paintings/drawings around my family home so creativity & expressing yourself through art has always been encouraged in me since I was born pretty much. Whilst my mum & sisters are very into painting & drawing I have always been drawn to the camera & taking photos. My first camera was a film SLR camera that my parents brought for themselves but I managed to comandeer all to myself for high school studies & have since then tried to capture the beauty & essence of the world around me. I haven't really decided what kind of photographer I am/want to be - I like to photograph the things that capture my attention - vivid colours, textures, interesting people & stunning landscapes! I love that everytime I pick up my camera I learn something new about photography - be it a new technique, angle to shoot from or just something new about myself. I crave that constant challenge that learning new things brings and a different way in which to view the world around me & the best things about photography is that I get to share it with others.
