Toril Apelthun. Norwegian. UWTSD Swansea photojournalism student.

Photography has been a huge part of my life, ever since I got my first disposable camera about 15 years ago. Safe to say, I went through quite a few of those in my early years, as I had rabbits in my backyard. Since then me and photography have had a turbulent relationship, until I realised a few things a few years ago. Since then my relationship has consisted mostly of love and my development as a photographer has increased drastically. However, I feel that there is so much more to learn about the field and that I would be honoured to get the chance to do something like this.

When I'm places, I find myself searching for things to photograph: I see things that people normally overlook and I find myself starring at people, just because the light looks just right. I walk along in my own little bubble looking for just the right moment when I'm out photographing. I spend hours on a dirty sport arenas, sitting on the ground with my legs crossed to look for the perfect moment. I bring my camera everywhere, just in case I'll come across something interesting.

Yours sincerely,
Toril Apelthun
