Understanding Environment from the Swiss Alps

My Scholarship entry - A 'place' I have visited

Switzerland | Friday, July 5, 2013 | flickr photos

I’m researcher in Environmental Economics with a personal project to apply field photography in academia.Photography is to me a mean of creative self-expression.Humans are changing the world, nature, cultures; photos are the best way to communicate it, create knowledge, awareness and motivate searching solutions. I believe a photo can teach more than thousand words. Apart from photography I love hiking and travelling. I’m only amateur photographer,but I love it and want to take it beyond the hobby, mix it with travels and research and use it in my work and collaborations. I believe it could be an excellent tool in schools, universities, industry and policy. I was used to be on the other side of the lens,but since I got my own camera, things changed and it became my passion. I don’t have much expertise, for this reason I’m interested to learn from Jason techniques in field photography that I can use for this, challenging my abilities and capacities to produce good results,working together,capturing images to share with others,make them see and feel what I did and educate.In this way achieve my dream of becoming professional photographer and realize my project of Academic Photography
