EAST Cornwall photographer William Debois has snapped up several awards in the annual print competition organised by the South West division of the Master Photographers' Association.
William won five awards including the top prize in the 'children under five portraits' category. He had a clean sweep of first, second and third prize in the 'family portraits' category and first prize (with merit) in the 'new licentiate MPA member' category.
One of the award winning pictures is of ex-Plymouth Argyle footballer Lilian Nalis with his family. This, along with the other winning pictures can be seen at http://www.ethosportraits.com">www.ethosportraits.com
William started his career as a photographer 16 years ago and after six and a half years working for a leading national family portrait brand, he opened his own portrait business, 'Ethos', in St Mellion, in February 2007.
He said: 'The studio has had a great start and winning these awards is a brilliant way to celebrate the success we've had over the last 18 months!'
Ethos will be at 'Santa's Crystal Grotto and Gift Fair' at Tavistock Town Hall on December 13, 14 and 15.
