Inspirational ballet picture wins mental health charity contest

THIS exquisite image of a ballet dancer shot from above was one of 12 winning images from CEWE Photoworld’s My Inspiring Moments competition. It was taken by Russ Tierney from Rhyl, who says: ‘Inspiration hit me that I could shoot down on the “dance floor” through the missing floorboards.’

The competition was launched by the photobook and print specialists in association with the mental health charity Mind, to inspire photographers to capture special moments in order to raise awareness of mental health and promote the benefits of taking meaningful photos. The 12 images will be compiled into a calendar and sold for £11.99 at cewe-photoworld.com/mind- calendar, with £5 from each sale going to Mind.
