In Porto

My Scholarship entry - A 'place' I have visited

Portugal | Thursday, July 4, 2013 | 5 photos

My name's Samanta, i'm 24 years old and i'm from Portugal. I study Multimedia in the College of Engineering in the University of Porto and i studied Art in the College of Fine Arts in the University of Lisbon.
One of my passions is photography. I like to take pictures of little things that normaly people ignore or try to twist common things into something of my own.
Normaly, i look at peculiar things, that i think that has something special, and take a picture. It could be a car, a door, a dog, a music instrument, etc. As long as it has something that "pops-out" i'll register that.
I also like to "play" with photographs. In the area that i studied, in Fine Arts, i used to manipulate images turning them into something that was credible and could look like an original picture, or simply transform them into something different, like a painting.
I think i should be choosen because one of my dreams is to work for companies like National Geographic. I love the idea of travelling, going to different places and take as many pictures as i can, mainly those difficult pictures that can take a lot of time to reach the perfect one. I like challenges and do things that are criative and new.
