My Feet on the Ground

My Scholarship entry - Family Album

India | Friday, January 11, 2013 | 4 photos

I am a freelance graphic designer and an apprentice wedding photographer for a studio. Photography, layout design and traveling are three of my passions in life. More than the landscapes, I get satisfaction each time I get to photo the locals. My travel isn’t complete without it. I prefer to see a place by foot because I see and feel more. I get to interact with the people and get the photos that I’m happy about.
Travel photography for me is all about learning and sharing. When people see my photos, I want them to see the positive side of things, just as I’ve experienced it, and to learn what I’ve learned. And this would make them want to go to the place, more than just the scenery. Through my photos, I just want them to be tourists that are undetached, someone who yearns for more interaction. I wish to tell them it’s the people and their activities that make up the true beauty of a place. I would want to be the inspiration for them to have the drive for real travel, just as I was inspired by a few people. Having these goals, and being an amateur, it would be a real benefit for me to be mentored not just about photography techniques, but also how to be an ingenious photographer.
