As simple as black and white

My Scholarship entry - A 'place' I have visited

Worldwide | Monday, January 14, 2013 | 5 photos

I am an 18 year old student on the verge of finishing school. Curiousity is something which leads me trough life, helping me discover new things and meeting interesting people in various places.
For my age I am well travelled due to my parents interest in the world and its variety of cultures. Sadly time goes by, easily pushing memories to the back of ones mind. That is where photos come in handy: they reawaken nearly forgotten moments. Yet they also bring closer experiences to people who did not participate in them. So they are a means of education, teaching people about the differences between countries and societies.
Although I have little experience in photographing, I am a keen learner. What motivates me is the fact that photos become interesting through different perspectives, making me reach out and try a multiple of angles and distances when taking a shoot.
It is my wish to bring people closer through photos by fascinating the audience as to getting them to feel closer to the objects. Therefore prejudices may be overcome and tolerance spread.
There are no boundaries with photography, as long as there is a permanent interest in the environment which surrounds us.
