Award : Excellence in Creative Fashion Editorial :)

Last week I was awarded 'Excellence in Creative Fashion Editorial 2013´ from my university London College of Fashion :)

This award makes me very happy, especially because I am being awarded for the thing I love to do the most:)! and also because I did not receive this because I have the highest grades. Not saying that grades don't matter at all but in the real world of photography no one is going to ask you about how high your grades were in University, even some of the most famous photographers in the world have never ever studied any photography at all!

This one is only because of my pictures, which in the end is the only thing that matters to me :) happyhappy

Update: Here is a little interview with me about the award in an Icelandic newspaper http://www.visir.is/hlaut-vidurkenningu-fyrir-tiskuthatt/article/2013707029991

Hildur Mist + Iris Bjork on London College of Fashion facebook and twitter

Yesterday I realized that my university, London College of Fashion is using one of my images as their cover photo on Facebook, and two of their Twitter pages :D !!

I took this image of the male model when I was shooting a lookbook for my talented friend Hildur Mist that has just graduated from BA Fashion Design Technology: Menswear http://showtime.arts.ac.uk/hildurmist

They found it on Hildur's Showtime and asked her if they could use it on postcards/handouts on the information days they are holding this June but apparently they have decided to use it in their social media pages as well :)

I think this is pretty cool and I am super proud of Hildur :) !

My work at LCF graduate exhibition at London Newcastle

Last days have been so amazing !- Hard work is paying off and I am so happy :)

My work is for show in London College of Fashion graduate exhibition as I am graduating from FdA (foundation degree) in Fashion Styling and Photography. Although I have not finished my studies yet (as I am going to do a top up year to get a BA degree in the same course), I had the change to submit my work to the graduation exhibition. I am very lucky as 5 of the 6 images I sent got chosen and printed and are there for show - 3 big ones and 2 little ones :) !

If you are in London please go and have a look !! it is open until Monday 1st of July from 12:00-19:00 daily at the London Newcastle Project Space, 28 Redchurch Street. London. E2 7DP
