Joseph Campbell had once said that life is without meaning. That we bring meaning to life and that being alive is the only meaning. As a graphic designer and video editor, I have always been searching for meaning in images, shapes and communication. Yet, there was always something missing, since true meaning was to be found in people themselves. My brief experience in travel photography during trips in foreign countries has revealed a great truth to me. That people living in different environments and circumstances than ours are there to share their most profound truth by just being there. And that photography is the most adequate means of capturing immediately those glimpses of truth. It would be a great opportunity for me to be mentored on how to seek out for that common derivative that unifies all human beings and how to make the most of the photographic art to capture it and share it with the world.
