The competition winners

This photograph is quite comical in the fact that both the mayor and winner are wearing red outfits with the black components as the whole reason behind the fact that the mayor wears this outfit is to give status and importance within the community and so by having the winner dressed like this, it almost overthrows the whole importance of the Mayor's role.

These 5 photographs are of the competition winners.
The mayor set a competition to the local school's in which was to "Document what you love most about christmas" through a painting in which the mayor and his wife then chose 4 pictures of what they thought were the best for each age group and then the four winner's were invited to come to this event and recieve a congratulatory scroll from the mayor and then they had the priviledge of turning on the Wimborne Christmas lights with the Mayor, town cryer and the scouts.

I was very priviledged to be invited to this event as Wimborne is such a tight-knit community and everyone knows each other, so this was a very special event for me as it's so different to that of Bournemouth and how I was brought up within Bournemouth.
This event also really boosted my confidence within myself and my photography as I went on my own and made my own contacts. Some of my photographs were then used within the Wimborne local newsletter.
