f8 and be there

My Scholarship entry - A 'place' I have visited

Canada | Monday, December 3, 2012 | 5 photos

My name is Mack. I am currently on a year off between high school and post secondary. I am thinking about taking further schooling in business with aspirations of pursuing a career in photography.

I have had various different experiences within the industry, but at my age (18) it is simply not feasible to make a living from photography. For this reason I have been just been getting my feet wet in the industry for the past few months. I also know that most people will not take me seriously as shooter until I am older, so hope to get a degree (probably in business) as I think going into this world without a degree would be scary. I think business is a smart choice as it would leave me many options down the road, and I am pretty sure business sense is something lots of shooters lack.

In February I hope to travel to europe if all goes well to get some life experience. I believe an opportunity to get some on the job experience with a great shooter on assignment for NG would be crazy to ignore.

Thanks for the consideration of this great opportunity.

Cheers,

Mack
