Of those lost in Mumbai https://journals.worldnomads.com/oviya/ Sun, 12 Apr 2026 06:14:21 GMT World Nomads Adventures My name is Oviya Sekar. I graduated with a triple major in English Literature, Psychology and Mass Communication. I then worked as a journalist for a year before getting a Post Graduate Diploma in Film and Television Production. Presently, I work as a copywriter. Photography has been a constant passion, stemming form my love for travel and more recently a social excuse to avoid being in front of the camera. This scholarship would mean a foothold in having a career in photography and an opportunity to travel to a place and experience things that I could barely begin to imagine. It would be a massive privilege to have such a path open to me. https://journals.worldnomads.com/oviya/photos/50695/India/McLeodganj Travel India oviya https://journals.worldnomads.com/oviya/photos/50695/India/McLeodganj#comments https://journals.worldnomads.com/oviya/photos/50695/India/McLeodganj Fri, 14 Nov 2014 23:07:18 GMT 0 The world has so much to offer, but we spend our lives not seeing more than a mere fraction of it. I have always been drawn to exploring and the most natural way of bringing what I see to others is photography. As I child I used my parent’s analog camera and went wild on holidays. I bought a DSLR four years back and I take it everywhere with me. I find it fulfilling taking pictures and sharing the things I see and experience with others. Looking at photographs that others have taken is also amazing. It not just helps me visualize life somewhere else or through somebody else’s perspective, but it pushes the boundaries of my imagination in new directions. This scholarship, if I am chosen, will be the perfect opportunity for me to get a push in the right direction helping me make a career out of something I love to do. Combining travel, exploration, places, people, animals and bringing all those together in front of my lens in an attempt that thousands, maybe millions, of people will get to experience through an image that I was given the opportunity to seek out and bring to them. My name is Oviya Sekar and I wish you would take me to the Arctic with you. https://journals.worldnomads.com/oviya/photos/43253/India/Discovering-those-lost-in-the-crowds-of-Mumbai Travel India oviya https://journals.worldnomads.com/oviya/photos/43253/India/Discovering-those-lost-in-the-crowds-of-Mumbai#comments https://journals.worldnomads.com/oviya/photos/43253/India/Discovering-those-lost-in-the-crowds-of-Mumbai Fri, 5 Jul 2013 03:17:00 GMT 0
