Yet again HSI can proudly claim to be ahead of the game and to have "discovered" a significant new photographer. Rozenn Leboucher came to the UK from Bandol in South of France to study photograhy and completed her course this year. During this time she travelled widely in South America, Europe, and north Africa. Rozenn asked us to look her portfolio and on seeing this we offered her a spread in the magazine. HSI was then delighted to learn that she had won the Fujifilm young Photographer of the Year Award and the editorial section of that competition. Anyone likes to be proven right and we congratulate the Fujifilm judges on their agreeing with us.

Rozenn states that this kind of travel photojournalism is her bag and, says that she would like if possible to concentrate, to some extent on religious festivals. That is, of course, a difficult row to hoe but she certainly seems to have her own take on things and her own style. She shoots B&W and colour with equal facility so she should be able to cope with almost any comission. For the next six months, however, Rozenn is off on the cruise ships to earn some cash hoping to exploit the award's networking potential on her return. Already, she has been talking to agencies about representation. HSI would like to congratulate all winners in this year's awards, especially Rozenn, and we look forward to publishing more of her work in the future. |
