Focus and Frame: Thomas Shines

Photography continues to thrive at The Skipton Academy, and this term brought exciting recognition for one of our talented students. Congratulations go to Thomas Ridler, who achieved third place in the Intermediate category of the prestigious Rotary Young Photographer Competition - a remarkable accomplishment that speaks volumes about his creative vision.

This competition encourages young people to explore their world through a lens, capturing moments that resonate with the year’s chosen theme. Thomas’s photograph impressed judges with its technical quality, composition, and emotive storytelling. His work stood out in a competitive field filled with compelling images from students across the region.

Photography is more than just taking pictures; it’s about telling a story, sparking emotion, and seeing the world from new perspectives. Thomas’s success is a reflection of his ability to do just that. His achievement is not only a personal milestone but also an inspiration to others exploring visual arts and media.

We look forward to seeing where Thomas’s creative journey takes him next. With talent like his, there’s no doubt we’ll be hearing more about his accomplishments in the future. Well done, Thomas!
