Local Trade series wins Glasgow Trades House Craftex exhibitions Advanced Photography Award

For our end of year Graded unit and exhibition I choose to revisit the works of Irving Penn and David Eustace among others for my local trades series of portraits. A lot of preparation and work went into this series of portraits, of which I hope to extend over a period of time. I was really pleased with the final 10 images, of which 4 were exhibited at the City of Glasgow College's end of year show.

I was them very pleased to discover that I had been nominated for the Craftex www.tradeshouse.org.uk/Craftex.asp exhibition by the college, and that I had won the Advanced photography section with my portrait of local part time Fireman James Mounter. My husband and I had a very enjoyable evening at the awards ceremony at the Trade hall in Glasgow.
