My 2015 Travel Photo Scholarship Entry https://journals.worldnomads.com/simorinp/ Wed, 8 Apr 2026 07:45:41 GMT World Nomads Adventures As a child, I was fascinated by how photographs can tell a story: there was always a camera in the house to capture those moments to last a lifetime. Not long after I entered this world I started travelling and with constant relocations the hunger for travelling was instilled within me at a young age and my eye for detail and awareness of my surroundings were evident. As I look through the viewfinder it’s just me and the subject matter, everything else is not of importance. In that moment everything becomes a blur in my mind, a serene and tranquil place to be. My five photographs are all captured in India on my first camera; a Pentax P30n, while I was travelling in 2013, wandering the streets of India in Chennai. I was born in India but was never introduced to the reality of some individuals who live in India whose life was already planned for them or was born into; the photographs portray individuals with different lives. This scholarship would guide me on a path and open doors that I have only dreamed of. Additionally, working alongside and being mentored by National Geographic’s photographer, Jason Edwards would be an inspiring and an amazing adventure. https://journals.worldnomads.com/simorinp/photos/52056/India/My-Scholarship-entry-Undiscovered-India-and-hidden-secrets Travel India simorinp https://journals.worldnomads.com/simorinp/photos/52056/India/My-Scholarship-entry-Undiscovered-India-and-hidden-secrets#comments https://journals.worldnomads.com/simorinp/photos/52056/India/My-Scholarship-entry-Undiscovered-India-and-hidden-secrets Mon, 24 Nov 2014 10:43:00 GMT 0
