The Journey is the Destination - (Spain) Hidden Places to both Lose and Find Yourself

My Scholarship entry - Bilingual Explorer with a Peruvian Dream

Spain | Wednesday, November 5, 2014 | 5 photos

I am an explorer by nature. Spontaneous travel, food, running, language and yoga energize me. I am passionate about digital storytelling and believe in the power of effective communication. I have taken photos in Honduras, Mexico, France, Spain, Germany, Italy, Mexico, the Czech Republic, Portugal, Holland, and the United States without any formal training. Fervent curiosity, a love of learning, and a desire to embrace the unknown have led me to love travel photography.

In the age of the 'selfie', my goal is to shed light on the stories and lives of others. My style ranges from candid, in the moment, street photography, to more calculated landscapes, food photography, and portraits. Shapes and shadows of both architecture and nature intrigue me. I am always looking to photograph anything that creates a mood, conveys a message, or stirs conversation. I perform very minimal editing in an effort to capture and honor the true beauty of a moment.

The opportunity to learn from and work with the renowned Jason Edwards would mean the world to me. I would relish in the chance to travel to Peru, practice my proficiency in Spanish with local Peruvians, and be dedicated to taking the most beautiful, honest, and authentic photos of the Peruvian Amazon possible.

Thank you sincerely for your time and consideration.
