My Scholarship entry - A 'place' I have visited

New Zealand | Thursday, July 4, 2013 | 5 photos

Photography for me, is a means to explore the world and share that experience with others.

This is my second year participating in the World Nomads Travel Photography scholarship. My reasons for why I would like to be chosen haven't changed from last year. At a basic level I would like to grow as a photographer, both in terms of technical execution but also as a storyteller. Knowing what combination of settings to have my camera set to is important but I am keen to learn from Jason how to approach a situation. To learn how to work within the constraints of a situation to capture the best image possible and how to translate what is seen in person into an image that will convey that same feeling to the viewer.

The scholarship provides the opportunity for an amazing life experience. To travel to the other side of the world and witness someone in their element. To be a part of that process is something special. It would be something that I imagine would stay with me for the rest of my life (no pressure Jason). It is an opportunity to learn and explore.

Cheers,
