AN award-winning photographer is offering children the chance to have their portrait taken and be entered into a draw to win £1,000, to help him through the Kodak Portrait Awards competition.

William Debois, who runs his own portrait business, Ethos in St Mellion, has won several awards in the annual print competition organised by the South West division of the Master Photographers Association, including first prizes in the categories children under five portraits, family portraits, pet portraits and new licentiate MPA member.

William is now focussing on the Kodak Portrait Awards and to do so, he will need willing parents to let children aged up to 13 be photographed at the Ethos Studios. Anyone taking part will be entered into a chance to win a cash prize of £1,000.
