Photography. There is nothing in this world that I am more passionate about and I know that I will spend my life honouring our earth through the creation of my images. My name is Meagan and I am an 18 year old photography student from AUS. America is my dream. It is a place where I always felt that I truly belonged without ever entering the borders. Last year I was fortunate enough to live my fantasy and spend time in New York, the most extraordinary city in the world. I wanted to encapsulate New York mostly at night, reflecting that it truly is a city that never sleeps. I tried to reproduce the connections and emotions I had to it. It isn’t just defined by the buildings within it but rather the people, the culture, the atmosphere, the tourists and the weather. I may be young, but my passion far exceeds this. I am ready to be challenged, to showcase my strengths and to mend my weaknesses. To learn from the best and show my creativity. My obsession for National Geographic is a testament to my passion and it will forever be my dream to be a wildlife photographer for this inspiring society and I will never give up until I get there. My name is Meagan Reid, and this is how I see it.
