Sarah Doherty https://journals.worldnomads.com/sarahdoherty/ Sat, 11 Apr 2026 23:56:09 GMT World Nomads Adventures I am Sarah Doherty, a 19-year-old photo enthusiast from Sydney. I have been interested in photography for as long as I can remember. My dream is to one day become a National Geographic Travel Photographer. I want to travel the world with my camera, documenting its many unique places and the lives of the people that inhabit them. I feel my ability to make people feel comfortable around me helps to let them open up, allowing me to capture a side of them that would normally go unseen. Getting a chance to travel with a phenomenal mentor Jason Edwards, to an incredible location with such a unique culture would be an excellent opportunity for me to develop my social documentary skills, and to capture the beautiful soul of my surroundings in Greenland. Using photography to capture the stories within a place is important to me; I want people’s stories to be heard. I feel as though there is so much going on in the world that most people aren’t aware of, even in their own countries. I wish to be the one to show these stories to the world. Bringing my passion and charisma, I will ensure that with your guidance I will get the most out of this wonderful experience. https://journals.worldnomads.com/sarahdoherty/photos/42205/Australia/My-Scholarship-entry-A-place-I-have-visited Travel Australia sarahdoherty https://journals.worldnomads.com/sarahdoherty/photos/42205/Australia/My-Scholarship-entry-A-place-I-have-visited#comments https://journals.worldnomads.com/sarahdoherty/photos/42205/Australia/My-Scholarship-entry-A-place-I-have-visited Sun, 30 Jun 2013 15:17:00 GMT 0 I am Sarah Doherty, an 18 yr old from Sydney and graduate from CATC Design School in February, 2013. I got my first camera when I was eight for Christmas and I remember finishing the film before the lunch began. I studied photography for my HSC, and this is when I decided my future career. Since beginning my course I have been learning the creative potential of the camera. Im excited by my studies and begun to develop my own style. Travelling the world and photographing people of different cultures would be a dream. I have a fascination with National Geographic and immerse myself in the contents. I recently travelled to Phuket and was able to capture children in action at a Kickboxing competition in Bangla Stadium, Patong. The age of the children and the aggressive adults taking bets was confronting. The roar of the crowd, the thud of punches and kicks, made the atmosphere intense. The whole experience was mind blowing, it opened my eyes to a different culture and my new found love of social documentary photography. I know travelling to Oman with Jason Edwards would be the opportunity of a lifetime. I will bring my enthusiasm, determination and cherish the mentoring process. https://journals.worldnomads.com/sarahdoherty/photos/37887/Thailand/The-Kickboxing-Youth-of-Phuket Travel Thailand sarahdoherty https://journals.worldnomads.com/sarahdoherty/photos/37887/Thailand/The-Kickboxing-Youth-of-Phuket#comments https://journals.worldnomads.com/sarahdoherty/photos/37887/Thailand/The-Kickboxing-Youth-of-Phuket Fri, 11 Jan 2013 16:50:00 GMT 0
