Far away from home - My view on Soul

My view on Soul
I’m an aspiring amateur photographer from a small country in Europe, Slovakia. Photography has become my passion since I got my first camera ten years ago. I have been traveling since I was a child and it has stayed that way.
So I wanted to connect these two things and I have dreamed about career as travel photographer/photojournalist. I wanted to create unique reportages and bring home words and pictures to tell the stories. Unfortunately there is no way you could make a living out of it in our country and therefore no way for me to grow professionally. I have changed my routing, but I didn’t go far away. I still work with people and stories as I freelance for various television productions. And that photo dream is not so dead either. I’m 28 years old and that is not too late I hope. I have learned that aperture, exposure, focal length technical stuff. But what I need is routing and guiding in approach. I want to become more conscious, focused and stronger in communication through the charming art of photography. That’s why I would be very exited to get this opportunity. As it was stated, to “get the feet in to the door”, with some of the best would be a dream came true.
