Photography Students at Peterborough College Selected for 2026 ‘We Love Peterborough’ Calendar

Cami’s image. A striking photograph of a stained-glass window has been given for March. This was taken early in her course as she began to explore her personal style. Cami said,“ I took the photo last year when I was first starting Photography and learning how to use the camera. I’ve discovered that I really like darker, moodier imagery. I was originally there to take photos of a person in front of the stained glass, but when I saw that window, I knew I had to capture it. I also love that I could focus just on the window itself.” 

Cami, who is planning to progress to Lincoln University to study BA (hons) Photography, credits the course tutors for helping her grow in confidence and creativity, “Our tutors encourage us to follow photographers and artists, be inspired by their work and then develop our own skills and styles. They give us a strong foundation at the start of the year and then allow us the freedom to adapt and push our creativity.”

Tom’s selected photograph has been selected for November and showcases Peterborough’s Town Bridge, framed by vivid autumnal colours. Tom explained, “I really enjoyed highlighting colour in my photography and making details stand out more so people know what the clear subject is in my photographs, I wanted to get a picture of town bridge as it is a nice landmark and the scenery in the background looked very picturesque with its orange autumnal colours”

Speaking on why entering the competition was an important step for him: “I thought, why not have a go and see if I had a chance of having my work published? I was over the moon when I found out I’d won. It’s a huge milestone in my photography because it shows people like my work.”
