Queensberry Connects


Rurally inspired

l02

Our clients featured strongly again this year among the winners of the 2009 Annabel Williams Contemporary Photographic Training (CPT) Awards. Sarah Wright took out the Queensberry-sponsored Portrait Album category (we featured the wedding album category winner a few days ago).

Ex-CPT student Sarah submitted this design of a portrait shoot of a teenager shot in the Borde Hill Gardens – a country estate in the South of England.

“The subject really wanted a rural shoot as he loved the country side and country clothing – so I utilised the Estate’s striking features like the wrought iron gates, fishing lakes and fields”, says Sarah.

Using the latest version of Photojunction, the design was presented as a 14×10 horizontal album in black leather with an embossed cover. A style she says really suits her photography.

“I wanted to provide something that, although modern, would look as good in 10 years time as it does today.”

The judges said, “This is blindingly good photography which is executed with total assurance of vision, composition and skill. Extraordinarily good cropping and a wonderful range of shots. Fantastic, simple and powerful design.”

The competition was established to celebrate and support social/portrait photographers. Sarah’s prize included a £500 Queensberry voucher.
