In June this year we launched a search for 3 photography and photojournalism students, or recent graduates, via our Facebook page and adverts in universities across the country. We needed hardworking and artistic individuals with a creative eye and a desire for adventure to supply us with an exciting new collection of photos for our 2012/13 brochures. To help them do that we would send them on an all expenses paid trip around either Europe of Asia, while giving them the opportunity to grow their own portfolios too. Can’t be bad eh?!
Allow us to introduce our 3 talented and very excited photographers; Louis, Dan and Ness. Over the next few weeks we’ll be checking in with them on their quest to capture the unique essence of some of our best loved traveller hubs on film.
