My Photo scholarship 2011 entry

Worldwide | Sunday, October 30, 2011 | 5 photos

Travelling holds a huge piece of my heart, with almost 7 billion people on this earth, 195 countries and countless cultures makes exploring it all, endless.

Every adventure brings joy, admiration, risks and the unexpected moment that will stay with you and inspire you forever.

Photography is an extension of ourselves, it is a tool that allows for expression, inspiration, seeing things in a new light and it has the beauty of being able to freeze a moment in time.

Passion and curiosity are the elements that blend photography and travel together for me.

To receive the opportunity of mentoring, to guide and teach me to better translate my passion for travel into the final print while telling a powerful story would be a stepping stone to realising my dream of becoming a travel photographer.

The passion and drive for this profession, was realised which meant setting some serious goals which has been driving me for the past 6 years. My IT career has been the primary source to allow me to complete a course and build a folio and equipment.
I am completely overwhelmed with the next phase, where to begin, making the right decisions and telling powerful stories with my images.

I aspire to travel to South America, camera in one hand, passport in other, to concentrate on my travel photography and personal projects.

My long term dream project is to document Flamenco which is one of the purest forms of expression still alive today.

I want to learn the tools and skills to inspire people to discover. I need guidance on how to take my photography to the next level, to be lucky enough to receive this amazing gift would be a once in a life time rewarding experience.
