Meeting cultures

Latvia | Tuesday, June 18, 2013 | 5 photos

I´m Lukas Rapp, graduating this autumn in journlism at the University of Applied Science in Magdeburg. My passion is fotojournalism and travel photography. I would love to find my profession in this field. Furthermore my focus is about war and conflict zones. And in portraying not the cold, aggressive part, but the beauty inside this chaos.

In the last eight month I was travelling beside studies more than 45.000 km to see the beauty of some contries and taking photos, which tell about their country, cultures and habits. I would never travel without camera. There is always a possibility to take nice pictures, but get to know the story behind it, is even more fascinating.

The reason why I should be choosen, is that my photography is different, mine is with symphathy. I would never take a picture without thinking about the background story and the story this picture has to tell. For all of my pictures I can tell a short anecdote.

It´s a beautiful feeling to reach technical limits, as you know there is space for development. I am sure with the right support I could be a better photographer, that´s another reason for applying for the Greenland Travel Photography scholarship.
