Pascale Arnaud

For the young women formed at ‘Ecole des Gobelins’, fashion photography is a way of expression in a means of itself. “I like to use subjects that speak to me on a personal level, through the choice of models, light and staging’” Also, decor takes prized place in her photographique approach as she the series she creates “outside or in settings that I find esthetically compelling : winding towers, or abnormal landscapes”. She goes away with the accomplishment with an exposition of 10 to 12 photos, a day’s photoshoot in the Daguerre studio and wins the possibility to  show her work within the advertising areas by JCDecaux.

William Waterworth

Third place was an English photographer who started photography at the age of 16. It is in Paris that he worked on his style, a technique that is much more than just fashion : “I have always tried to make my images be more than just fashion, that they create a link between documentary and fashion, that they surpass the cliché of the commercialism that is found in so many magazines.”  The third prize wins a voucher for the allowance with the Picto laboratory.
