Amersham & Wycombe College photography student a finalist in the prestigious Nikon Foundation competition

Following the recent shortlisting of her work at the Association of Photographers Student Awards in March, Amersham & Wycombe College Foundation Degree photography student Antonina Dolani is back in the spotlight as a finalist in the prestigious Nikon Foundation competition with her series of fashion-based images. 

Three month’s paid employment as a photographer’s assistant to renowned fashion and celebrity photographer John Wright is at stake for the first prize winner – the ultimate career boost for a student like Antonina!

Along with nine other students, Antonina had her portfolio assessed by John and a team of design/photography experts when she attended a job interview in April at John’s photography studio in London.  

“To be shortlisted for the Nikon Foundation competition really is a dream come true,” says Antonina. “I would love to work in the fashion industry so this is a fantastic opportunity for me and I have my fingers crossed for early June – when the winner will be announced.”

On top of the invaluable work experience, the role involves living in London and to help with living expenses the winner will also receive £3,000. Top photography brand Nikon is also providing a premium Nikon professional camera and lens kit to the winner worth £4,000!

John Wright’s portfolio includes shots of a whole host of A List celebrities such as Bono and Lady Gaga. Working with John will give the lucky winner an unrivalled opportunity to learn from the best.

Well done for your achievement so far, Antonina! We are holding thumbs for you for June!
