My Scholarship entry - Forgotten land
Finland | Monday, November 24, 2014 | 4 photos
I have always been a visual person, but it wasn’t until starting film school 3 years ago that I developed an interest in photography and started discovering the different ways light shapes our surroundings as well as how much it affects the way we interpret an image. Photography is hugely important to me because it allows me to completely immerse myself in the moment; when I’m looking through the viewfinder, I am not thinking about anything except how a place feels, trying to capture the moment as well as I possibly can.
I’m not necessarily the most technical person, but I'm constantly working hard, pushing myself to learn new things in order to produce better images and to portray the mood and feel of my environment in a more accurate manner. Winning this assignment would not only be invaluable because it would enable me to develop my technical skills in an intense time frame, but most importantly it would allow me to gain insight into the daily routines and workflow of an established professional photographer through assisting them on this journey - I believe that after this experience I would be better equipped when taking the step towards making photography my profession.
