My Photo scholarship 2011 entry

Worldwide | Sunday, November 6, 2011 | 6 photos

Hello! I’m Radiana Koleva, 18 years old from Stara Zagora, Bulgaria.
I’m learning in High School of Economics in Stara Zagora line “Economics and management” and this year is my last year there.
I love sport, traveling, (you should visit it!), the sea and hip-hop. Photography is my hobby. I love taking photos on my travels. I love walking in the nature and taking random photos. I do it in the city too. I’m taking lots of pictures for a walk but I’m so self-critical and sometimes, delete all of them. I think I have some skills and I should develop them more. I have no professional camera but mine works fine. I think I can be a professional photographer but in my country there is no place for progress in this job.
I’m training handball 10 years. I have many sports awards in this sport. I also trained volleyball, football, taekwondo and Athletics. The sport gave me a spirit to fight with everything and made me a better and strong person in all this years.
Why I should win the competition? Well, I’m not a professional photographer and I like taking photos all the time, this satisfies me. Like we say it in Bulgaria- “ It comes inside of me”. I think I have some skills and deserve a chance to prove and develop them. It’s not just to catch the camera and start shooting. Photography is your point of view. You can make the ugliest place in the world to look the most beautiful place in the world depends of the point of view. I like showing my own point of view.
It’s my dream to go in Africa. It’s my dream to travel all over the world and see everything.
So you are the judges I’m the pretender
