Farm life in the Netherlands

The Farm

Netherlands | Monday, January 14, 2013 | 5 photos

I used to help out my father taking photos in weddings when I was a kid. To be honest, I never liked it and I didn’t bother to learn more about it. Nowadays, I love making pictures and aim to show people that photography is not just a simple boring portrait of something or somebody. I think a camera gives you the power and ability to capture moments and emotions. Sometimes I get frustrated because I feel like I am stuck in a certain pattern of photography doing always the same thing. I haven’t been able to take classes because I neither have the time nor the money. Eventually I would love to make a living from photography. This trip would mean an invaluable opportunity to advance and develop my abilities and skills in ways that are beyond my own perspective. I’d love to learn and experiment with my newly gained insights while having the opportunity to get feedback on them. I hope to show the world that living in a Muslim country does not only represent a religion, but comes with culture, lifestyle, habits , traditions and landscapes; not only by images but by capturing moments and transferring the feeling and ambience to the audience, making them feel like they are part of it.
