My Scholarship entry - A 'place' I have visited

United Kingdom | Monday, January 7, 2013 | 4 photos

My name is Stuart Watt, I am currently working for a Production and Post Production company in London as an Engineer. My main passions in life are Snowboarding and Photography, within both I love to push myself technically and physically to be the best that I can be.
I have loved photography for a long time now, for my 18th birthday I got a Nikon FM2 film camera and have never looked back, I still shoot with film, but also appreciate the technology which has grown with photography and now love shooting with both digital and film SLR's. I love the beauty that you can create with Digital and how clean the images are, but I also love how grainy images are on film, I feel this is important when I create a picture, as perfection is sometimes not perfect. I love creating a picture which immerses you into my mind and see the image as I intended it, this is why I mainly do landscape photography and I am terrible at taking pictures of people. Eventually I would love to take photos for a snowboarding company, this would allow me to do the thing I love but also travel to the most amazing places taking pictures of athletes pushing the sport to the next level.
