My Scholarship entry - explore

Thailand | Monday, November 24, 2014 | 5 photos

I love traveling because it teaches you more than any other thing in life. this year I traveled to more than 16 cities. 8 of them are in Thailand because I volunteered there in an environmental project in the forest(planting mangroves) for 6 weeks. I'm from Egypt which is mostly desert and it is totally different from that tropical rainforest. I have the ability to adapt to the difficult situations and the passion to explore. I believe that when I travel I should take my friends and everyone with me through my photos and my stories and any traveler should do so. I have a concept about photography which is the photo should be perfect from the camera so I don't shoot raw and I don't use lightroom or photoshop ! I'm not neglecting that sometimes we should retouch our photos to make it better like making it b&w but the more it is ready from the camera the more I respect the photographer. a lot of times I use my phone's camera instead of my DSLR because it's not about the camera it's about the man behind the camera. I want to win this scholarship because of many reasons but the most important one is that I want to learn how to be a professional travel photographer.
