My Scholarship entry - Still a Beginner

United Kingdom | Monday, November 17, 2014 | 5 photos

My name is james, i am 20 and from the South of England. I am currently studying a zoology degree and have alsways showed a great interest for all aspects of wildlife. Ive only been doing photoghraphy for 5 months but it as quickly become one of the biggest parts of my life and there isnt a day where im not out taking photos. As i havent being doing it long, i dont have a huge portfolio and havent taken pictures in another country apart from my one of resdiency. I feel like a trip to the Amazon would incredibly benifit me not just as a photgrapher, but also as a person and a zoologist. My favourite subject to photgraph is snakes. ever since a young boy i have shown great enthusiasm for herpetology and love combining these two subjects together, photography and snakes. As i currently live in the uk, you can imagine my struggle. AS i can only photograph 3 three species of snake which arent terribly abundant in the area i live, my drive and ambition to adventure to other place swhere there are more species grows everyday. while i do prefer herpetology photography, i have a passion for all wildlife, and could not happier than when io am holding my camera.
