Bespoke Programme Competition 2010 – Winner Announced!

WE ARE VERY PROUD TO ANNOUNCE THE WINNER OF THE ANNABEL WILLIAMS CONTEMPORARY PHOTOGRAPHIC TRAINING BESPOKE PROGRAMME COMPETITION 2010 AS LUCY WOODROW OF WARWICKSHIRE!

We are very proud to announce the winner of the Annabel Williams Contemporary Photographic Training Bespoke Programme Competition 2010 as Lucy Woodrow of Warwickshire!

Lucy WINS a place on the industry-leading 12-month Bespoke Programme.  She will join the 34th group of aspiring photographers to embark on the programme in September of this year.

On hearing the news Lucy said, “I am just so completely thrilled to have been chosen for this phenomenal prize.  I have followed the blogs and sites of many of the super-talented photographers who have completed the Bespoke Programme and I am acutely aware of the many, many benefits this will hold for my photography business and me.  Ordinarily I wouldn’t wish the summer away but I simply can’t wait until September when the course begins!”

Lucy, wife of Ed and mum two, only found her true vocation as a photographer three years ago.  From that moment on she was convinced that something special was on the horizon – she was right!

Having spent her post university years as a wedding coordinator’s assistant followed by a customer services representative Lucy always knew that her true passion lay in the creative arts.

“I am a very creative person, (right brained all the way) and I thought that perhaps I might be a talented painter like my mum.  I tried and I was wrong.  Then I found photography and it found me.

I could over-sentimentalise about what it means to me to have found my true vocation, I won’t, but it is a great deal and I believe that the strength of that passion shows through in the images I create.”

Like many creative people, Lucy admits to finding the commercial side of running a photography business challenging at times but she constantly strives to educate herself to overcome any obstacles that she faces.

Catherine Connor commented, “Lucy has exceptional potential as both a photographer and a businesswoman.  She has both the maturity and determination to succeed and I know that she will give it 130%!  This is the right time for Lucy and we can’t wait to work with her.”

Congratulations Lucy!  We are all really looking forward to seeing you in September!
