My Scholarship entry - A 'place' I have visited

Lesotho | Thursday, July 4, 2013 | 3 photos

Why I should be chosen.

I am proudly South African, it's exceedingly difficult for woman who are truly passionate about travel and photography to do it full time without the backing any magazines in South Africa. I just need a foot in the door which a week of mentoring from yourself would clearly give me.

I am a hard worker and I am very willing to learn and listen to any advice you would give me about my photography.

I initially studied journalism then I found I kept wanting to take better photo which led me down the rabbit hole and its been an amazing ride. The “wow” moment when you realize that you got the shot - it's amazing - then you go back and do it all over again. Pushing the boundaries of my eye, gear, light and settings - that's what I love about it and that it keeps pushing you.

If I am not behind my camera, I am posting pictures on social media or my website, reading textbooks on photography/ traveling , photographic competitions and watching nature and travel programs.

After the mentorship - I want to be able to approach magazines show them my portfolio and work my way up to being a full time travel photographer then hopefully be in a position to give back.
