A Journey into Laos

My Scholarship entry - A 'place' I have visited

My two greatest passions are travel and photography. Whether I'm traveling through my own hometown or a far off region across the globe, I'm continuously fascinated by the natural beauty that is present in the everyday. My first experience with travel photography began at university, when I spent two semesters studying in Ireland. Outside the classroom, I found myself exploring various regions of the country with a camera in hand, capturing everything from the life on bustling city streets, to the untouched landscapes of the rural countryside. These impromptu journeys were just the beginning of my photographic adventures, as I have since traveled to locations across Europe, Asia, and North America to document the decisive, fleeting moments that exist in everyday life.

I believe that photographs have a very powerful way of connecting with people, exposing to them new ways of seeing the world and the marvels of everyday life. My goal is to share these new perspectives with others, illustrating not only the intricacies that exist within a specific culture, but how they translate back into our own personal lives.
