My Scholarship entry - Grasped by the forest

Hi I am Vaidas, originally from a small village in Lithuania, I have dedicated my life to the nature. Currently I work as a Marine Biologist & Environmental Officer in Maldives, and keep on traveling to see the beautiful natural world that is still out there, and when I travel I keep taking pictures.

Photography for me is a way of capturing a moment in a way that it breathes with the feeling, and using it as a way of showing other people amazing wonders of the world. Over the last few years of travel I realised that the only way natural/cultural wonders can be protected in the future, is if there are people who want to go to see them. I want to make people travel to these places.

Over the next few years I want to pursue this idea in my life, and this scholarship together with Jason's advice would be the best start point I could imagine. As well as that, my childhood dream of going on an expedition in the Amazon would be fulfilled. I am fit, enthusiastic, I do not mind getting in-there for the shot, and I am absolutely in love with the natural world.
