Stu Leggett receives his award from Lesley Ann Thirsk, co-director of The Guild of Photographers.
A DUDLEY photographer has been awarded two prestigious awards at The Guild of Photographers presentation evening.
Stu Leggett was awarded a pair of Top Ten awards at the ceremony, which are given to the highest scoring photographers following the conclusion of its annual photograpger of the year competition.
Photographers from around the globe submit multiple images for assessment on a monthly basis throughout a full year, with entries given points by a panel of judges – with the highest achievers given the Top Ten award.
The Guild of Photographers Director, Steve Thirsk, said “For anyone to achieve a Top Ten award following such a demanding and highly contested year-long judging process is remarkable. Stu is clearly a very talented photographer fully deserving this accolade.”
