Chorley photographer snaps up top award

Denise won the award in the Fine Art category, beating off tough competition, with her image Triple Head which featured three dying Snake's Head Fritillary blooms.

Another of her images was also shortlisted and received a Certificate of Merit.

Both had been taken during a visit to Ness Gardens last year.

"It's always nice for your work to get recognition, and while I was hopeful that the images I submitted might do well, I was still amazed to hear my name being read out at the awards ceremony," said Denise.

Past winner of one of the national UK Photographer of the Year awards, Denise is an Associate member of the BIPP and is currently studying for an MA in Fine Art at the University of Central Lancashire in Preston.

The North West Professional Photography Awards is a combined photography award run by the Master Photographers Association (MPA) and the British Institute of Professional Photographers (BIPP) in the north west region.
