Express & Star chief photographer honoured at top media awards ceremony
The Express & Star’s chief photographer has been recognised at a top industry awards ceremony.
Tim Thursfield was highly commended in the Daily/Sunday photographer of the year category at the Regional Press Awards.
One of the images Tim entered was a portrait of Theresa May.
He said: “To be highly commended in a competition with so many strong photographers and entries throughout the country is an honour.
“It’s great that in an age of mobile phone photography, the skill and ability of professional photographers is still recognised as a talent.”
Simon Hill, who is group head of editorial art for the Express & Star’s publisher Midland News Association, was also nominated in the designer of the year category.
The ceremony was hosted by broadcaster and journalist Nick Ferrari at the IET: Savoy Place, in London, on Friday afternoon.
