Wanderlust

My Scholarship entry - Wanderlust

Canada | Sunday, November 2, 2014 | 5 photos

I am a girl from Egypt. I love travelling, and have been travelling alone since I was 12 years old. I worked to travel, and traveled to work! I was inspired to take photos because of all the beauty I have seen during the travels. I moved to Canada at the age of 17 to pursue my undergraduate studies. I am now 20 years old and in my third year of school. I always wanted an opportunity to develop my photography skills. I am only an amateur photographer who has taught herself bits and pieces from here and there. I use my iPhone as well as a Nikon D40 camera. I am hoping for an exceptional experience that merges travel and photography! As well as meeting new people, and writing my own reflections about the experience. I have a blog where I tend to write a story about a photo I capture, I like to call it "Stories behind the shutter release" :-) My blog is: http://yalshaarawy.wordpress.com/
And most of my photos are posted on my instagram: http://instagram.com/yalshaarawy
I hope that one day I will be able to take outstanding photos and express the story behind the shutter release in eloquence!
