LensCulture photography Awards – 2015

I am delighted by LensCulture’s response.. Very encouraging for me and what I truly love doing.

As part of our mission of discovering the best of contemporary photography, we have completed our annual review of all submissions to our competitions. We wanted to let you know your entry to the LensCulture Portrait Awards 2015 (shown below) was among the highly-rated entries we received this year.

It was a great pleasure to photograph Ellen at her home a few weekends ago. I love the bright colours of the interior that compliment her skating dress and hair decoration. She was asked to think about a moment of glory. I am hoping to build on at least 10-12 portraits  in the next few months. There is another part to the project which I will reveal in the New Year! I want to get this recognised in a few contemporary photography magazines and perhaps a weekend supplement.
