A million miles away is just down the road

My Scholarship entry - A 'place' I have visited

New Zealand | Friday, July 5, 2013 | 5 photos

Hi. My name is Johannes and I'm 22 years old. I'm from Germany and I'm a student for eventmanagement. I started to photograph three yeas ago, when I went to the the land of the long white cloud: New Zealand. This is why I chose five pictures of that journey. I wanted to show what got me into photography. I took billions of pictures since then and it became one of the hobbys I spend most of my time with. Going out shooting with one of National Georaphics photographers became a lifetime dream for me soon after I took some pictures by myself and started watching their pictures.
I thing I could learn a lot but I've already got a little bit of experience when it comes to taking pictures of wildlife, landscapes and cultural themes. That's the stuff I'm most interested in capturing. I like to set up the shooting and get myself informed about the background of the motive etc. before.
I already tried to get my foot in some photography blogs etc. and I know how hard it is to be recognized. Being recognized by National Geographic would be the greatest thing that ever happened to me and Greenland is one of the place I definitely got on my pocket list. That's why I think I should be choosen ;)
