My Scholarship entry - A 'place' I have visited

Australia | Monday, January 14, 2013 | 5 photos

I find it easy to immerse myself in the unfamiliar and it’s my connection to new places and people that really inspires me to take photographs. It is my form of self-expression and how I speak my truth.

I was born and raised in Surrey, England. After finishing school at 18 my appetite for travel was undeniable and I bought a ticket that took me around the world with only my camera as my companion. I have lived a nomadic lifestyle ever since. I made Australia my home at the age of 23.

I strive to capture the world around me in an original and authentic way. My goal is to be a part of something meaningful in the world of photography and make a difference with my art. I intend to inspire people to care about our planet and all it’s intricacies, to reveal hidden treasures and tell a truthful story through my images.

I have a great desire to learn from a seasoned professional and this unique opportunity would bring me a wealth of knowledge that I will take with me for the rest of my life. I am enthusiastic, receptive and astute and I would be honoured to be chosen to win such an amazing life changing experience.
