Trip to South Africa

Travel Photography Scholarship 2012entry

South Africa | Thursday, November 15, 2012 | flickr photos

I am currently living in Shanghai and travel quite extensively around the country for work and photography. My inspiration for photography stems from my travels as I really treasure each fleeting moment. This is especially so in a country that is constantly changing, I enjoy shooting both travel portraits of locals in their natural habitats and capturing local culture. I am eager to learn better technique and have been a huge fan of National Geographic for a long time. Their powerful images were part of the reason I took up photography. A trip to Oman would be a dream come true as I have always wanted to travel there and explore the diverse and rich history of the region. I aspire to be a professional travel photographer some day and this opportunity would be the perfect platform to achieve that dream. I sincerely hope that my current work can show you my view of the world and I thank you for taking the time to review my photos.
