Scholarship Focus – Megan Bowers-Vette
You know, some of those lights and power packs used to look so complicated and imposing- I would think “do I really have to touch that?â€. Now, not only can I touch the equipment, I can use it to make things look exactly how I want them to look when I am am in the studio. It has been a great learning experience.
The four people I loved meeting the most over the Kingsize Scholarship were Adam Custins, Ross Brown, Christina Force and Russ Flatt. They all just gave me so much confidence in myself and my work. Some of the things they spoke about totally blew my mind and I really did need a few weeks to recover. But I think if these amazing people can feel that way about my work then the world truly is my oyster. I was also introduced to the Image Nation conference, which I have never been to before but I think I probably wont ever miss from now on.
All of the guest speakers were great. I just tried to soak it all up like a sponge. The whole experience has formed a very clear and developed idea of where I am, where I want to be, and how I am going to get there, which is priceless.
Everyone in the Scholarship group was such an amazing image maker it made be feel very privileged to be a part of it. And I have learnt so much just by interacting with them and their brilliant minds.
As a direct result from the scholarship class I have a feature coming out in Remix magazine, which Luke recommended me for. So I can’t put into words how exciting that is!
The scholarship hasn’t just shaped but totally blown out of the water everything I ever thought I knew about commercial photography and replaced it with actual proper real knowledge in the best possible way.
