PHOTOGRAPHY students have snapped up the chance to take part in a prestigious London exhibition.

The seven students, studying photography at Colchester Institute will have their work on show at the Free Range Art and Design Show in Brick Lane, London, next month.

Colchester-based law firm Birkett Long is sponsoring the team, made up of Danielle Burkes, Mica Thomas, Lauren Holmes, Simon Kaye, Trevor Wright and Elle Hilsden, who are all in their third year of the degree.

Mr Wright said: “It will be a fantastic opportunity for us to exhibit our work on an international level and meet with other creative people, commission some work and build new relationships for the future.”

Jennie Skingsley, Birkett Long Marketing Manager, added: “We take our role in the local community very seriously and we are very pleased to offer our support to this group of promising local students.

“I wish them the very best of luck at the show and look forward to hearing about some of the opportunities this will create for them."
