Fashion photographer award announced
27 Dec 2007
Nikon has announced the winner of this year’s Young Fashion Photographer of the Year award, following a competition held at the Clothes Show Live.
More than 200 young photographers submitted entries to the competition, with the best 11 being selected for the final display at the show’s Image Catwalk.
After a panel of judges examined the works, Gabriella May, a student at Falmouth College of Arts was crowned as the winner and took away a prize which included £1,000 of Nikon equipment, among other things.
Commenting on the awards, group marketing manager at Nikon, Jeremy Gilbert, said: “I was extremely impressed with the level of entries. Each interpretation of the brief was very individual.”
He added that the prizes “should really help” Ms May progress in her own work.
Ms May said she felt “privileged” that her work had been recognised and could not wait to upgrade her photography equipment.
Nikon next year celebrates its 90th anniversary and has published a new booklet detailing the history of the firm and all the camera models it has produced.
