Made in China

My Scholarship entry - Not your usual pet market

China | Friday, October 31, 2014 | flickr photos

I landed in China 5 years ago and became passionate about photography through this experience. I am currently working in Digital Advertising as an Art Director in Shanghai.

Here, I fell in love with analog pictures: the grain & light, the wait for unexpected results, quality, depth, the frustration of not succeeding, the proudness to work without a light meter. I now carry my 2kg camera bag everywhere, no matter climate or conditions. It became an essential part of all my travels, from the shots to the memories coming around them.

I believe I could bring an unexpected angle to this Peruvian trip, beneficing from professional advices, but also using my analog tools, perfectly suited for this trip, contrasting and completing Mr Edwards pictures. I would love to be able to experiment photography on this continent, interacting with everything and capturing the most of it, confronting it with my current knowledge.

I am already day-dreaming about shooting over there, the people, their smiles, their daily occupations, the light through the forest, the lush greens and vibrant colors. Hopefully,using the results and this competition as a way to become a full-time nomad photographer.
