did you give it your best shot?

A unique take on the Leeds skyline has earned the coveted title of Leeds ‘Best Shot’ 2010.

Aaron Hargreaves from Leeds College of Art Design snapped up the award with his photograph ‘An Unusual Perspective’ which depicts a trio of buildings towering towards a vibrant twilight sky.

Student accommodation provider UNITE’s annual photography competition searches for student snaps which capture life in Leeds. Aaron’s image beat off competition from almost 200 other photographs to clinch the top spot.

The winning image, alongside those of four runners up, will now be exhibited at The Faversham from 7-30th April 2010, so why not go and check them out. Aaron has also pocketed a cash prize of £500 and the runners up each received £250.

Commenting on his win, Aaron said:

“I love Leeds and this competition gave me the chance to show the city in a new light. Winning has really motivated me towards achieving my goal of becoming a professional photographer and I’m very excited about seeing my work exhibited at The Faversham.”
