The very talented Lyndsey James-photographer and general photography guru owns and teaches photocraft courses and the scholarship offers a chance to win a place on the flagship 5 week e-course.

How amazing would that be? Well pretty amazing! One of the biggest problems I have is showing customers just how fab the furniture and other amazing Rascal & Roses pieces are without customers coming to a shop! The only way is through the website so photos need to be tip top. And as for the blog well no one wants to read a blog with ugly photos!

But what is even more exciting for me is the judging panel for the scholarship award. So accompanying Lyndsey on the judging panel is-OMG, just reading the names is pretty exciting:
