Worldwide | Friday, October 15, 2010 | flickr photos

Hi, I am Vishal Tomar. I am a 24 year old guy and will be so for the next 24 years. I am from India. I have completed my graduation in medicine. Photography has been a hobby since childhood, along with painting and sketching and sculpting, reading a lot, writing, computers, collecting interesting objects from wherever I go , antiques, coinage and postal stamps, besides traveling. I am fairly new to the use of Dslrs but have been using point and shoot film and digital cameras since childhood.
For me photography is a language much stronger than words can ever be, and I am a story teller. My photos speak, shout, cry, laugh, think, inspire. I always try to achieve a balance between artistry and documentation in travel photography and contribute to the art of photography. So far I have been a self taught photographer. I have grownup with national geographic photography (besides, I love reuters too, very witty). With determination, dedication, discipline and a perfect guru , I would make the most of the opportunity presented to me.
I wish to gain insight into the world of professional photography from this scholarship .I would love to take it up as a job depending how my experience in this assignment. I also love helping others with their skills, for everyone remembers ones first tutors, and I would be glad if I introduce someone to a new skill in this art. I think that I should win the scholarship because I have trained myself well over a long time, learning the basics, and well aware of my shortcomings, have the creativity and motivation for which this learning opportunity is a once in a life time hit.

Thank you.
