Stratford-upon-Avon College’s National Diploma Photography students recently entered a competition to be photographers at the final Royal Show. Their task was to submit photographs of ‘Rural England’.
The winner, Kristi Harrison and runner up, Gergana Georgieva worked at the show from the 7th to the 10thJuly. They attended a briefing meeting each morning at the press centre and were given a ‘shooting’ schedule. At the end of each day they were back at the press centre to upload their images on to the Royal Show’s website.

Commenting on the event, Kristi Harrison said, "This has been a very rewarding experience and I am proud to have had the opportunity to represent both the college and myself especially as this was the last ever Royal Show. I have been able to capture signature moments that encapsulate the world surrounding the Show. It was difficult to narrow down the many photos I took, but those chosen represent the many different aspects."
The Royal Show began back in 1839 and has been the UK’s leading agricultural show, attracting over 100,000 visitors.
