My Scholarship entry - A 'place' I have visited

Australia | Monday, January 14, 2013 | flickr photos

I am currently the Rural Press Club of Victoria's photographer of the year, but have never made a cent from my images. This has to change! This would be my opportunity too to go from rural to global!
I'm passionate about travel. Born in the UK I grew up in Kuwait and was bi-lingual from an early age. Having lived and travelled throughout Europe and the UK I'm now a permanent resident of Australia, where I am an award-winning features writer.
But my love lies with photography and being on the move and meeting incredible people. The images I have chosen I hope reflect some of the brilliant characters in my region. I couldn't go far, but why try when there's so much to photograph on your doorstep! And nothing says 'place' more that its people.
I am enthusiastic and ready for change into the career I've always dreamed of.
I'm a quick and eager learner, having only had a DSLR for little over a year.
Unafraid of travel and trying new things, having spent my early years in the Middle East.
And I'm absolutely ready for a chance to learn the art and the industry from an expert who can help me take the next step in my career.
