My Scholarship entry - A 'place' I have visited

Morocco | Monday, January 14, 2013 | 5 photos

it was february 2006. my first trip outside of Lebanon or syria as an adult. I went to germany to visit my sister who was studying there and I had my point and shoot on me. I had no idea how to properly use a camera and it was frustrating to see how far the quality of my photo was compared to postcards (which aren't usually that nice).

I took a decision that on my next trip, I want to know how to properly take pictures. That was the next year when i visited italy. During the year, my photography skills improved a lot and I began to see things differently even if I had no camera.

Every thing I saw was colors, lines, shadows, frames ... I was always trying to see the photos in everything.

My love for travel and portraits photography increased when I visited India. That was like a revelation. Ever since, I travel just to take photos and I dream is to become a full time travel photographer.

This scholarship would be an incredible opportunity for me to learn from an NG photographer and work with him and get recognized for my work as a photographer.

What I hope to improve is mainly the business side of photography and enhance my skills.

See you in Oman hopefully :)
