Young photographers snap up some success
Students from a Horsham college have had their work recognised in a national photography competition run by London Metropolitan University.
The young photographers from Collyer’s joined those from schools and colleges from all over the UK in entering the contest, which asked for their favourite portrait, landscape and still life photographs.
Collyer’s year-two A-level photography students Berhan Arslan and Freya Milligan were shortlisted for their work, along with Lauren Booth and Ricardo Lima Castaneda whose photographs were selected in the highly
Josh Lowe commended category.
Year-one photography student Josh Lowe produced a surreal landscape double exposure image, which was also highly commended.
Both Freya and Lauren were lucky enough to have two of their photographs selected in both the shortlisted and highly commended categories.
Lauren said: “Out of all the people that entered, I was so happy to have my photographs selected. It was so lovely to see my work on the website with all the other entries. It’s amazing to have my work highly commended by this great university.”
The competition – which was open to students of photography and visual arts subjects aged 16 or over and in full-time further
Freya Milligan education – was judged by a panel including London Met Photography BA (Hons) alumni, photographers and lecturers,and a panel of current photography BA students.
The judges commented on the quality of images and how hard it was to make decisions from the 260 entries.
Head of photography Laura Andrews said: “We are so proud of our students’ hard work and dedication. During the toughest of times, they continue to inspire us with their outstanding creativity.”
The students’ work will be printed in the London MET BA (Hons) photography magazine and shown on the BA (Hons) photography website www. ldnmetarts.photography/ ypypyt2021
