A picture of two of the clergy at St Michael & All Angels church has won a prize at this year’s Bedford Park Festival Photographic Exhibition. David Beresford’s photo of Father Graham Morgan and Mother Nicola Stanley won the humour section, voted for by visitors to the Exhibition.

The prizes were presented by portrait photographer Vibeke Dahl, who also selected the overall winner of the competition and donated a free sitting for a portrait, to be raffled. “The standard was very high and I thought the Exhibition was a wonderful community event, encouraging photographers of all ages” she said.

Over 50 photographers took part, submitting more than 200 entries – and 194 visitors filled in ballot papers to choose the winners of the nine categories.The Exhibition was held last weekend in St Michael’s Parish Hall - the closing event of the Festival. The winners all won photographic equipment donated by Snappy Snaps in Chiswick High Road, where the winning photographs will be on display for a week.

Winners chosen by Exhibition visitors were:
